The How and Why of the Sliding Scale:
How to Use the Sliding Scale
Regular, frequent treatment is what leads to results and relief. Often, the benefits of the treatments build on each other. We don’t want people to have to choose between their health and their budget! We use a sliding scale payment system so that people like you can come in as often as they need to get better. We encourage you to use your treatment plan for figuring out the fee that works for you.
Some people calculate what is affordable by the week, some by the month. Either way you can adjust the amount whenever you like. No questions asked. Everyone receives our best service, time, and attention, regardless of what they pay.
The Why Of Our Sliding Scale
The community acupuncture clinic shares responsibility for community health with its patients.
There are two ways to balance the sliding scale:
More treatments! The more treatments we do, the lower the per-treatment cost is for the clinic.
Come often.
Invite people. We depend on you to tell your friends, family, coworkers, and community members.
Pay the higher end of the scale when you can. To stay healthy as a clinic, we need about 8 people a week to pay $30 - $52 for their treatment, and 5 people to pay $53 - 75.
