Veterans Care
If you are a veteran dealing with chronic jaw pain, locking, tension, or headaches related to TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders, your VA healthcare benefits may cover 100% of your specialized medical massage therapy.
Through the VA Community Care Network (CCN), eligible veterans can receive authorized care from a licensed community provider at no out-of-pocket cost.
Veterans Care: VA Covered Medical Massage for TMJ Disorder
To receive coverage, your treatment must be pre-authorized by the VA. Follow these steps to request your referral:
Schedule a VA Appointment: Visit your primary care provider or care coordinator at the Richmond VA Medical Center or your local VA clinic.
Request Medical Massage for TMJ: Explain your jaw pain symptoms and request a referral for medical massage therapy as part of your "Whole Health" care plan.
Provide My Provider Details: Give the VA staff my exact credentials so they can route the Community Care Network referral directly to me.
How to Get a Referral to My Practice:
To ensure the VA routes your authorization to the correct clinic, please provide your care coordinator with this exact information:
Provider Name: Alison Leisy, LMT

NPI Number: 1821647611
Primary Taxonomy: 225700000X (Massage Therapist)
