  • The payment assistance program awards a limited number of reduced-cost acupuncture treatments based on need. We started this program to bring Vital Qi toward alignment with our mission of making acupuncture more accessible by lowering traditional barriers such as cost, location and availability.

  • Scroll down on this page to view and submit your application.

    Applicants will be notified of their status and any potential assistance by the first day of each quarter (January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, October 1st). Applications must be submitted prior the dates listed to be considered for the upcoming quarter.

  • Payment assistance is intended to support individuals in our community who seek the benefits of acupuncture but for whom cost of treatment is a barrier.

  • If you qualify for payment assistance, you will receive a $30 discount on each community acupuncture session, bringing your cost to just $45 per treatment.

    Each award includes 8 sessions, which must be used within three months. Unused sessions do not roll over. To continue receiving assistance, recipients must reapply at the beginning of each quarter.
