Question

“How do the prices vary among different hospitals? I want to compare the costs to decide where to go. Especially for acupuncture treatment for optic nerve atrophy, how much does one session typically cost?”

Answer

“Due to the variation in prices across different regions, according to our standards, a standard needle insertion session is approximately 15 yuan, while a warm needle session is about 20 yuan. An additional charge may apply if disposable acupuncture needles are used. The cost of acupuncture is usually calculated based on the number of acupoints, with treatments involving fewer acupoints being relatively cheaper and those with more acupoints being more expensive.”
