Expanding Medical Clinic Challenges Health-Insurance Moguls

I'm self-employed and the Qliance system works really well for me. Plus the culture is nothing like that of a traditional doctor's office - you never have the feeling that the front desk people are trying to protect the important doctors from the pesky patients.

In the acupuncture profession, there is a similar movement going on called Community Acupuncture - reducing costs by cutting out the insurance middleman, but uniquely, treating people in a semi-private group treatment room which also significantly reduces costs, with savings passed on to patients.

Instead of paying $65-$200 for an acupuncture treatment, the cost is on a sliding scale that begins at $15 (with no income verification requirement). Locally, there are at least two clinics in Seattle that have adopted this model - CommuniChi on Beacon Hill, and the Pin Cushion on Capitol Hill and nationwide, there are approximately 80 CA clinics listed on the Community Acupuncture Network website.

like Karen, I've lost thousands in medical bills. Not a great scenario to be in.
