Ailio holds 16 practitioners across 183 clinics in Nanaimo, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $100 and $145, though the lengths behind them are not all the same treatment.
Session length is the main thing that moves an acupuncture price, and it is the thing clinics are least consistent about publishing. Where a clinic sells a block of sessions, only the single-session price is indexed here, so a package may be cheaper per visit than anything on this page shows. The length beside each price is what makes two clinics comparable.
The median listed price is $120, taken from 105 priced services at 19 clinics in Nanaimo. Half of them fall between $100 and $145. 89 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.
Right now, yes: 26 openings are still free today at 6 clinics, out of the 23 clinics we can currently check. Openings are read from each clinic’s own calendar and kept regularly up to date, rather than checked live, so confirm with the clinic before you travel.
10 clinics of the 22 clinics whose billing page we have read in Nanaimo state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (8) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (2), Pacific Blue Cross (3), TELUS eClaims (3), GreenShield (2) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. We have not read the billing page of 1 other clinic in Nanaimo; that is a gap in our records, not a clinic that declines to direct-bill. 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.
Across 6 clinics, out of the 23 clinics we can currently check. Times come straight from each clinic’s calendar and expire when they are taken. You don’t need an account to look — signing in is only asked for once you pick a time to book.
