Sliding scale can mean a lot of things.
For us at the Yellow Emperor Acupuncture clinic it means that we expect patients to pay for services within a certain range ($25-$60), but we have a range rather than a set rate because we want you to pay what you can afford so that money isn’t the determining factor in your treatment plan.
Below is a chart to help you decide how much you can afford. It is important to us that you take your course of treatment seriously and come in as often and as many times as is necessary to get good results. If cost is a barrier for any reason at any time, talk to us.
We do not want you to discontinue treatment because you feel you can’t afford it. However, our continued existence as a community clinic is entirely dependent on your financial support for our services, so please pay what you can.
| Income | Recommended fee | |
| $15,000 and under | $25 + $10 initial fee* | |
| $15,000 – $29,000 | $30 + $10 initial fee* | |
| $30,000 – $44,000 | $40 + $10 initial fee* | |
| $45,000 – $64,000 | $50 + $10 initial fee* | |
| $65,000 and over | $60 + $10 initial fee* |
* A one time $10 fee covers the cost of the initial examination. The initial examination includes several minutes of detailed conversation based on information from your intake form. Also dietary suggestions or herbal remedy prescriptions are given if needed.
Each additional prescription is $10.
If you have any questions about anything on the intake form, or this page, please bring it to my attention before the start of the treatment. If you have any questions at all about acupuncture and what to expect in the treatment, please let me know before the start of the treatment.
Thank you
