Fulcrum Health established the TruTouch network in 2019 as a first step to establishing standards of care and credentialing for massage therapists that would ultimately make it possible for health plans to offer coverage of massage services to members. All TruTouch massage therapists are credentialed through Fulcrum Health to ensure they are current on best practices for massage therapy.
“At UCare, we are committed to going the extra mile to support our members, especially our older members and those with disabilities. With people increasingly discovering the benefits of massage therapy for pain relief, stress reduction, and more, we believe it’s important to provide access to credentialed physical medicine practitioners who will work in tandem with providers across the care continuum for our members,” said UCare’s Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer Jay Sivasailam. “Fulcrum Health’s TruTouch network and 40-year history of promoting physical medicine solutions makes them a preferred partner to meet our members’ needs.”
As part of UCare’s expansion of benefits into Massage Therapy, Fulcrum Health is actively recruiting massage therapists in Minnesota to join the TruTouch network to expand access to UCare members. There is no cost to join the network, plus TruTouch providers receive additional benefits such as access to educational resources and support and makes therapists more visible to potential clients through the directories.
