Tiered Pricing for Community Acupuncture
We have some exciting developments in the new year that we'd like to share regarding our community acupuncture pricing. This past year we experimented with monthly discount community acupuncture nights as a means to make our services more accessible. These evenings were a huge success, often booking up weeks in advance. The popularity of these evenings demonstrated the need for reduced-cost services more than once per month and lead us to find a solution.
As of February 1, we will officially be moving to a tiered pricing model for community acupuncture. Pricing will be:
Reduced rate: $30
Standard rate: $40
Supportive rate: $45
Reduced Rate
Having difficulty affording $40 or coming for multiple visits in one week? Consider our reduced rate.
Standard Rate
Don’t like too many options or comfortable with what you've already been paying? No problem! The standard rate is still $40.
Supportive Rate
Have extra resources? Every supportive rate paid helps us give a community member a treatment at the reduced rate.
These scenarios are merely suggestions, as only you know what works best for your situation. You’re welcome to change which tier you pay at any time. We will continue to offer our package rate for all services at 10% off five or more treatments purchased. For community acupuncture, the package price will be based on the standard rate.
Surely you’ll have questions, so don't hesitate to talk to our front desk staff or your practitioner. We look forward to seeing you in the clinic soon, and happy new year!
Raising Our Prices to Meet Our Mission
This year, as our business turns four, we have been reflecting on how to meet our mission, values, and goals for the foreseeable future so that we may continue to serve and grow with our wonderful community. In addition to continuing to offer high-quality, accessible holistic healthcare, it is our goal to prioritize living wages and benefits for our workers as well as making Five Point a model of how small cooperative businesses can be run successfully.
As of June 1st, Five Point will be raising the price of community acupuncture and herbal consultations to $35 for repeat visits, and in January 2019 this price will go up to $40. The prices of our other services will not be affected in 2018.
These changes will help us achieve a new level of stability and sanctuary, as Five Point becomes a better home for its workers. Later this spring, Five Point will be able to offer health insurance coverage to its employees and owners, which is a big landmark for us.
Beyond improving our internal structure, this price increase will allow us to create a low-income program for community acupuncture, something that will help us continue to meet our mission of accessibility. We expect to launch this program in 2019.
As a thank you and to help with the transition to our new pricing, for the entire month of June our packages for community acupuncture will remain at their current pricing. We highly suggest taking advantage of these prices, and getting a package if you are a regular consumer of community acupuncture.
As always, we can’t thank you all enough for supporting our business and making our clinic such a lovely, healing environment. We are very excited about this coming year as we enter into our fifth year of service, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
With gratitude,
The Five Point Team
