WellWorks Policies and Forms

WellWorks Members, Visitors and Clients will be asked to read and sign consent forms and understand our policies. Any individual who participates in our programs is expected to have read, understood, and agree to the relevant policies and forms provided here.

Payment Policies:

The below policies apply to all WellWorks offerings and services, including but not limited to: Nutrition Counseling, Specialist Workshops/Classes, Massage Therapy, Memberships, Personal Training, Wellness Coaching.

Payment is due at the time of service.
Payment by credit card - we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.
We do not accept check or cash payments.
Tipping/Gifts: Our Massage Therapists, Registered Dietitian, Personal Trainers, and Wellness Coaches are state employees and, therefore, cannot accept tips. Please refrain from offering tips, monetary or otherwise, in exchange for services.
- Personal Trainers are not permitted to accept tips or gifts from clients in exchange for their services as a personal trainer.
We are not a medical facility and cannot bill insurance.
Flexible Spending Account expenditures: At this time, Ohio University is not established with an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) and, therefore, WellWorks cannot accept debit cards from Flexible Spending Accounts such as Wageworks. We can, however, provide you with an itemized receipt for reimbursement submission to your Flexible Spending Account. While some of our services do qualify for reimbursement with some FSA programs, restrictions (such as a letter from your physician) may apply. WellWorks is not responsible for verifying expense eligibility prior to payment.
We do not sell “gift certificates,” but we can place a monetary amount on an account; the money will be transferred at the time of their service.
- If the amount does not cover the full cost, they must self-pay the difference. If the amount is more than the service, they will have that as credit to use for a future service; they will not receive cash back.
- If the recipient is not in our system, we will create an account at no cost and place the monetary amount on the new account
A WellWorks membership is not required for purchasing our massage therapy, nutrition counseling, or wellness coaching services.
An active membership is required for participation in our personal training services.
Late Policy: Clients who are late to an appointment will receive the remaining time of the scheduled appointment and be charged the full price.
Sessions are good for one year from the time of purchase.
Sessions are not transferable.
Sessions are not refundable if we still offer the service.

Massage Therapy Client Policies:

Clients must be at least 18 years of age at the time of service.
- Those age 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian during the service.
Our Massage Therapists follow the industry standard of providing 50 minutes of service to each hour. This is to accommodate client preparation and departure at the beginning and end of the hour-long appointment. This translates to 25 minutes of service for a 30-minute appointment and 80 minutes of service for a 90-minute appointment.
