Big Island Massage Network is a network of independent massage therapists that covers the entirety of Hawai‘i Island as well as a few therapists on other islands. Our goal is for no one to have to drive more than 30 minutes for a massage no matter where they live on the island.

Our member therapists are vetted for their skill to handle acute injuries and chaperoned by our office staff to make sure notes and reports are sent where they need to go in a timely manner.
A single referral naming the provider as “Big Island Massage Network” gives the client access to all of our therapists without the need for additional paperwork. This is especially useful if a therapist goes on vacation, is otherwise unavailable, or if the client simply wants to try someone else to see if they are a better “fit". Sometimes clients will choose to be concurrently treated by two different therapists who’s styles compliment each other and achieve even better results than a single therapist.
We accept:
No Fault Auto
Workers compensation
OWCP
We DO Not accept health insurance such as kaiser and HMSA.*
For workers compensation claims, please send us an approved treatment plan. According to Hawaiʻi law, approval is not required in the first 60 days so send those over right away so we can get started.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR NO FAULT REFERRALS
It is most practical to prescribe massage when there are PIP funds remaining to pay for it. Personal health insurance does cover massage with our therapists to cover any overages*. If clients have had an ambulance ride, expensive ER visit, and expensive radiology, the PIP may be exhausted and most clients will not want to pay out of pocket for massage.
According to Hawai’i law, no fault prescriptions must be signed by a MD, DO, or PA. If signed by a PA, it must indicate supervising doctor. It must specify the # of treatments per week. The # of weeks, and the total # of sessions. And ICD10 diagnosis codes. Our suggested prescription is “1-2x per week for 12 weeks, 16 sessions total” Please do not exceed 12 weeks or 16 sessions. For no-fault auto, you are welcome to use our referral form if it helps you:

*Personal health insurance companies in hawaii (HMSA, Alohacare, Kaiser, etc) contract all their massage care through a company called American Specialty Health. The best bet for a patient to find an ASH provider is to call their member services department at 1-800-678-9133 ext 3.
