The median listed price is $120, taken from 17 priced services at 4 clinics in Sooke. Half of them fall between $110 and $140. 24 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.
Not today. Nothing is left in the calendars of the 4 clinics we can currently check in Sooke. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.
0 clinics of the 6 clinics whose billing page we have read in Sooke state they submit a claim for you. These are the clinics’ own words, repeated — confirm with them before you book, because whether a particular claim goes through is between the clinic and the payer.
