When it comes to answering the question “How much should I charge for Client Records?” there are several factors that you need to consider.  First and foremost, every therapist has to remember that under no circumstance should you release a copy of anything contained within a client’s record without either the expressed written consent of the client OR an order from the court. You can find an example of a client record release form here (https://cmmota.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Shareable-Example-of-Consent-for-Release-of-Client-Records.docx) – by all means feel free to adapt this document for your own use.

When Can You Refuse Treatment? This is a question that has been asked many times over the years. Recently CMMOTA drafted a new Anti-Discrimination Policy (https://cmmota.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Anti-Discrimination-Policy.pdf)  and updated our Standards of Practice documents for Massage Therapists (https://cmmota.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/CMMOTA-Standards-of-Practice-for-Massage-Therapists-and-Spa-Therapists.pdf). Given some recent conversations and incidents which have occurred we wanted to draw your attention to these documents and make it very clear when you can refuse to treat a client.

By |2024-09-26T13:24:42-06:00September 26th, 2024|Categories: Uncategorized|

In recent months we have had a number of questions come from members surrounding what is meant by Stand Alone treatments, and how receipts are supposed to be written when a stand-alone treatment is provided to a client. A Stand-Alone treatment occurs when a singular modality listed under Section 4 of Appendix 19 – Modalities for Massage Therapists (https://cmmota.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Appendix-19-Modalities-List-for-Massage-Therapists.pdf) or Section 3 of Appendix 34 – Modalities for Manual Osteopathic Therapists (https://cmmota.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Appendix-34-Modalities-List-for-Manual-Osteopathic-Therapists.pdf) is the only modality or technique that is provided during the treatment of a client. In looking for an example that applies to both professions, the modality of Low-Level [...]
