Some AMTA members have discovered that their businesses have been coded as  beijing escort  parlors by the companies that process credit cards for their practice. Along with the sense of insult many massage therapists feel about this, some clients have had insurance claims rejected because of this coding of credit card payments.

If you accept credit cards for payment, ask your credit card processors which codes they use for your practice.  If they use SIC or MCC codes, ask them to list your business as massage, therapeutic under code 8099, which is the SIC code for Health and Allied Services, Not Elsewhere Classified. The MCC code is also 8099, but the classification is Medical Services and Health Practitioners (Not Elsewhere Classified). The code for massage parlors is 7297. AMTA has been advised that Visa and Mastercard usually use SIC or MCC codes.

If your credit card processor uses NAICS codes, ask them to code your practice, which is for Offices of All Other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners. The code used for beijing escort , under Other Personal Care Services.
