WHY WE ARE THE "FSBP EXPERTS":
We know the Foreign Service Benefits Plan inside and out!
Chiropractic Services
Whether you're dealing with the classic "computer neck" of our times, or you have chronic issues in your neck, back, or limbs, or maybe you just need help surviving language training, chiropractic care can help. Dr. Ellen will coordinate and communicate with your therapist for massage services so you experience true change. Detailed receipts provided for AFSPA submission.
Specialized Massages
Detailed receipt for reimbursement provided. The massage combines therapeutic and relaxation techniques, making them the best use of your FSBP dollars!
Acupuncture
Our 30-minute add-on acupuncture service is designed to enhance chiropractic or massage experience and detailed receipts are provided for AFSPA submission.
A dedicated one-hour acupuncture session can also be booked and is partially reimbursable based on FSBP guidelines. Call today to determine which is right for you. 703-963-4257
The Body Harmony Story:
When Dr. Ellen opened her new office in Clarendon in 2021, she didn’t realize that this micro-geographic footprint put Body Harmony smack dab in the middle of “Foreign Service Territory.”
- Our proximity to FSI, and all of the individuals and families living nearby while they are in language training,
- convenient access by Metro to the Washington DC State Department and affiliated agencies,
- not to mention FREE off-street parking
All naturally made the foreign service community our new community. And we couldn't be happier and prouder for it.
Your receipts...done RIGHT.
Some FSBP folks have shared about having issues sometimes with reimbursement when receipts haven't had the necessary codes on them, or even a therapist who had an expired license (denied!). At Body Harmony, we have all the details nailed down, and ...although it happens rarely ... exactly how to successfully reprocess a denied claim.
Because we offer ALL FSBP wellness benefits under one roof, our foreign service clients and patients enjoy the unique experience of addressing their musculoskeletal and health complaints collaboratively. That's why "Body Harmony" is our name...all parts working in harmony together.
Doesn’t it make sense for your chiropractor and massage therapist (and acupuncturist!) to talk together, and to make a plan to help you experience optimal results as a team?
We think so! :)
+ workshops!
We're more than *just* a massage or chiropractic visit:
Once you are part of our "Body Harmony Family" you can access our workshops and events for FREE.
Whether it's signing us for our:
- monthly Sound Bath,
- Second Saturday "Functional Strength & Flexibility Workshop" for personalized guidance on helping you create strategies that make your fitness goals meaningful for YOU,
- "Foreign Service Brunches": several times a year on a Saturday we provide coffee, french pastries, and a welcoming space for our foreign service folks to gather, connect, and collaborate. Or just relax!
- "Perfect Posture" ~ "Detoxify Your Home-space" ~ DIY Body Butter workshop ~
- other rotating topics as interest is expressed.
Helping you to optimize your FSBP Wellness benefits!
Most individuals who work for the State Department, USAID, and a few other federal departments have access to the Foreign Services Health Benefit Plan. As it turns out, this is an incredible wellness-focused health plan that allows you to access chiropractic care, massage, and acupuncture services on an as-needed basis, without having to jump through a lot of procedural hurdles demonstrating medical necessity or having to be in a health crisis.
All 3 of these services can be an important part of a wellness regimen by not just addressing acute pain issues, but, when scheduled on a wellness basis, can help you feel stronger, more balanced, flexible, and at your best as much as possible each and every day.
At Body Harmony, these services enjoy the maximum reimbursement through our office as a provider of therapeutic (versus “spa”) care. Please reach out for details!
