Appointment Prices
The Sliding Scale Experiment
From now until the end of 2024, New Moon Acupuncture will run on a sliding scale payment structure. At that time modifications may be made to better accommodate my patients and myself.

Insurance
Health insurance in PA offers very limited reimbursement for acupuncture services, and I am not able to participate in insurance at this time. If your plan offers out of network coverage, I can provide detailed receipts for you to submit for reimbursement.
FSA+HSA
FSA+HSA accounts also often include acupuncture. Check your program details to confirm. Payment receipts can be provided as needed.
Pay More Or Less:
Suggestions on where to place yourself within the scale
Guildelines inspired by “Embracing Equity”
Please keep in mind that these are only suggested guidelines.
You are the only one who knows your particular budget and financial situation, and only you can decide what is an affordable amount for your budget.
Consider paying higher on the scale if you:
travel recreationally
work part time by choice
can afford to take time off
regularly eat out, buy new clothes, attend cultural events without worrying much about your budget
own the home you live in
have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
have access to family money and resources in times of need
have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.) Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.
Consider paying towards the middle of the scale if you:
may stress about meeting basic needs but are regularly able to meet them
have some debt but it doesn’t prohibit attainment of basic needs
have some savings
have adequate employment
Consider paying less on the scale if you:
are not always able to meet basic needs
rarely buy new items because you are unable to afford them
are supporting children or have other dependents
have been denied work due to incarceration history
have faced employment discrimination
have immigration-related expenses
are an elder with limited financial support
have medical expenses not covered by insurance
are an unpaid community organizer
