Ailio holds 140 practitioners across 267 clinics in Richmond, 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. 3 clinics 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 $120, taken from 437 priced services at 61 clinics in Richmond. Half of them fall between $100 and $145. 409 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: 81 openings are still free today at 11 clinics, out of the 62 clinics we can currently check. We could not check 3 other clinics in Richmond, so there may be more. 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.
43 clinics of the 64 clinics whose billing page we have read in Richmond state they submit a claim for you. Public funders named most often: ICBC (35), WorkSafeBC (6), MSP (premium assistance) (4), Workers' compensation (3) — those pay the clinic instead of you. Patient plans named most often: Extended health plans (28), Pacific Blue Cross (4), Sun Life (4), GreenShield (3) — claiming on one of those spends your own annual maximum. We have not read the billing page of 1 other clinic in Richmond; 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 11 clinics, out of the 62 clinics we can currently check and 3 we cannot. 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.
