Providing coverage for massage therapy under medical assistance plans.

HB 1093 amends Washington state law to require medical assistance plans (Medicaid) to cover massage therapy as a "related service" under existing coverage for physical and occupational therapy. This change directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries who need massage therapy for medical conditions, such as chronic pain or injury rehabilitation. The bill updates RCW 74.09.520 to explicitly include massage therapy within covered services, aligning it with other therapeutic treatments. Coverage remains subject to available funding, as specified in other sections of the bill.
