Local context
Every practitioner Ailio holds in Pender Island works at the same clinic, so "2 to choose from" overstates the choice — it is one waiting room and one set of hours. Half of the listed prices sit between $73.75 and $120, but the lengths behind them differ — $70 · 15 min and $120 · 1 hr are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments.
The median listed price is $102.50, taken from 6 priced services at 1 clinic in Pender Island. Half of them fall between $73.75 and $120. 5 services here publish no price at all and are not in that figure. These are the clinics' own published rates — Ailio adds no booking fee and never marks a price up.
Acupuncture is not covered by MSP for most patients. It is one of the treatments MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount toward, for a limited number of visits a year, and only for patients receiving premium assistance. Otherwise it is paid by the patient and claimed on an extended-health plan where one exists.
No. Registered acupuncturists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners and no referral is needed to book. Your own plan may still ask for one before reimbursing.
