Massage Through VA Community Care

The length and number of your visits are set by your VA authorization.
Each visit begins with a brief check-in about your health history and comfort preferences, followed by your massage in our private suite.

FAQ
Do I need an insurance card?

Is there a cost for my visit?
There’s no cost to you for visits authorized by VA.
How many visits can I have?
The number and length of your visits are set by your VA authorization. Your authorization letter lists the details.
Can VA or TriWest schedule for me?
Yes. They can call us at 713-518-1008 or fax us at (713) 400-4634.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Call or text us at 713-518-1008 as soon as you can, and we’ll find a new time within your authorization dates.
What happens when my authorized visits are used up?
If you’d like more sessions, ask your VA provider whether a new referral is right for you. You’re also welcome to book a regular massage with us anytime.
I don’t have a referral yet. Can I still book?
Talk with your VA provider about whether massage through Community Care is a good fit for you. If you’d like a session in the meantime, you can book a regular self-pay massage through our main booking page. Self-pay sessions aren’t covered or reimbursed by VA.
