Each of these is a page of its own, with its own list and its own prices. The chips at the top of this page filter these same results without leaving.
Ailio holds 6 practitioners across 109 clinics in Prince George, which is what makes comparing them worth doing at all. Half of the listed prices sit between $128.75 and $155, but the lengths behind them differ — $80 · 30 min and $210 · 1 hr 30 min are usually not the same treatment for a different price, they are different treatments. 1 clinic here cannot currently be checked for availability, so anything this page says about openings is about the rest.
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 $140, taken from 32 priced services at 6 clinics in Prince George. Half of them fall between $128.75 and $155. 36 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 7 clinics we can currently check in Prince George, and 1 other clinic we could not check at all. Cancellations are where most short-notice appointments come from, so an alert is usually a better bet than refreshing.
5 clinics of the 8 clinics whose billing page we have read in Prince George state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (2), RCMP / Canadian Forces (1) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (3), Medavie Blue Cross (2), Pacific Blue Cross (1) — 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.
Every calendar we can read in Prince George is full for the rest of today, and 1 clinic could not be checked at all. The soonest we hold are 4 openings with 1 practitioner at 1 clinic, counted across the 5 practitioners on this page rather than the whole city — so there may be more. Times come straight from each clinic’s calendar and expire when they are taken.
