Interesting Question. Here in Minnesota, Reiki is not really recognized as medical care on the state level. Some hospitals allow Reiki practitioners to volunteer though. The Meta Institute works a bit like Rand's institute in Michigan, in that they have gotten the Nurses Union or whatever the organization is to allow Reiki classes to officially count towards Continuing Education Units.
As such, the only way I can see someone using Insurance is to actually use the paid in HSA or Flex accounts that some have as part of their insurance policy. But unless you are also a massage therapist or Naturopathic Doctor or accupuncturist, you can't bill insurance. Sure, along with your client, you could lie and say that you did some body work code or other (my cranial sacral practitioner does this, but she is also licensed as a massage therapist.)
If they come investigate, you could be screwed on the HSA or Flex accounts.
Here is what us practioners have to provide clients in Minnesota.
Client Bill of Rights

o Fee for services $1 per minute or $25 per half hour to be paid at the time services are rendered. A 24 hour cancellation notice is required to avoid being charged for the missed appointment. A 30 day notice will be given if charges or services are to be changed.

I'm impressed.
on another Reiki site a member there mentioned
that an insurance company in Minnesota rumored
to be paying for alternative treatments. Maybe
its just that doctoring of codes is what's
happening. Thanks for your response.
