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.

32 practitioners at 1 clinic in Saanichton, offering acupuncture, with the prices those clinics publish and the openings their own calendars hold. No booking fee, and Ailio never marks a price up.

Local context
Every practitioner Ailio holds in Saanichton works at the same clinic, so "32 to choose from" overstates the choice — it is one waiting room and one set of hours.
