Local context
Ailio holds 578 practitioners across 57 clinics in Vancouver, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $118 and $165, but the lengths behind them differ — $20 · 5 min and $540 · 1 hr are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments.
Massage therapy is the most widely indexed treatment on Ailio, which means the price range on this page is wide by nature: an initial assessment, a 30-minute focused treatment and a 90-minute session are all "massage", and they are not the same purchase. The length beside each price is what makes two clinics comparable.
The median listed price is $140, taken from 1,153 priced services at 61 clinics in Vancouver. Half of them fall between $118 and $165. 791 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.
Massage therapy is not covered by MSP for most people. MSP’s supplementary benefits pay a set amount per visit toward a limited number of visits a year, and only for patients receiving premium assistance — everyone else pays the clinic’s listed price and claims it on their own extended-health plan if they have one. Treatment funded by ICBC or WorkSafeBC is different again: those bodies pay the clinic directly, so an approved claim does not spend the annual maximum on your own plan.
No. Registered massage therapists in British Columbia are direct-access practitioners, so you can book without seeing a doctor first. A referral may still be required by your own extended-health plan before it will reimburse you, and ICBC and WorkSafeBC treatment depends on an open claim rather than a referral — check with your insurer, not the clinic.
Right now, yes: 8 openings are still free today at 2 clinics, out of the 63 clinics we can currently check. Openings are read from each clinic’s own calendar into a regularly refreshed index rather than live, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
11 clinics of the 71 clinics whose billing page we have read in Vancouver state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (4), WorkSafeBC (1) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (6), Canada Life (2), Manulife (2), Pacific Blue Cross (2) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. 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.
Half of the listed prices fall between $118 and $165. From 1,153 priced services at 61 clinics; 791 other services here publish no price at all. Lengths differ between these, so compare the price ladder below rather than thisspread alone.
