Understanding Your Care Options at ECHO
A Guide to Our Service Tiers — What Each Includes, What It Costs, and How to Choose
ECHO offers two distinct levels of care — Wellness Acupuncture and Comprehensive East Asian Medicine — along with several standalone and add-on services. Knowing which option fits your situation helps you get the most out of your care from the start.

Care Tiers
WELLNESS ACUPUNCTURE
$65-$80
A focused, restorative acupuncture session — simpler by design, and the right level of care for mild, general, or maintenance concerns. No extended intake, no herbal prescribing, no electroacupuncture.
A good fit if you are:
-
Managing everyday stress, tension, or nervous system overload
-
Dealing with a mild concern — a nagging shoulder, low-grade fatigue, mild sleep disruption
-
Seeking regular maintenance care for general well-being
-
New to acupuncture and looking for an accessible starting point
-
Supporting yourself through caregiving, a life transition, or a difficult season
-
Receiving care elsewhere and wanting gentle supportive acupuncture alongside it
Packages are available for wellness acupuncture — a convenient option if you come in regularly or simply want sessions on hand.
COMPREHENSIVE EAST ASIAN MEDICINE
$100-$200
Full clinical care — extended intake, multi-phase acupuncture treatment, herbal medicine consultation and management, electroacupuncture when appropriate, and clinical charting. This is the right level of care for more established, complex, or condition-specific concerns.
When clinically appropriate, care may also include guidance on western botanicals, supplements, vitamins, and nutraceuticals — integrated thoughtfully alongside acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Available through four pathways depending on your primary concern:
Add-On Services & Complementary Offerings
In addition to the two care tiers, we have other therapies available as standalone or add-on services.
Cupping is available as a standalone service or can be added to acupuncture sessions, whether as part of a clinical plan or simply by request. When billed through insurance, cupping may be covered as part of a medical acupuncture visit depending on your plan. For cupping, we have a package option available or you can book an individual cupping session. Learn more about cupping »
Moxibustion (moxa) is offered as an add-on alongside acupuncture when clinically appropriate, particularly for certain circulation-related concerns. It is also available as a standalone session for breech presentation in pregnancy. Moxibustion is not billable to insurance. Learn more about moxa »
Scar therapy for post-surgical or injury-related scar tissue is available as an add-on to other acupuncture sessions or as a standalone session. It is not covered by insurance. Scar tissue typically responds best to a series of sessions spaced closely together — changes in tissue mobility, sensitivity, and texture accumulate over time rather than resolving in a single visit. For this reason, we offer a package option, or you can book an individual scar therapy session. Learn more about scar therapy »
Herbal medicine is available as a standalone option for patients who are not receiving acupuncture. Patients in the Comprehensive care tier may also schedule herbal check-ins between acupuncture visits for formula adjustments and diagnostic reviews. Standalone herbal medicine consultations are not billable to insurance. Learn more about herbal medicine »
Add-ons
When an add-on is an option for any service at ECHO, it can be selected at booking using the dropdown arrow below your chosen service.
