The difference between the two diplomas is how much health insurance companies pay for acupuncture treatment. Patients who have coverage with a public health insurance company pay EUR25 (approx. NT $ 1000) for a single session with an acupuncturist with a Diploma A, and EUR35 for a single session with a Diploma B acupuncturist. Patients with private health insurance pay EUR50 per acupuncture session.
兩種執照的差別在於健保給付的多寡，Ａ執照一次，治療費用二十五歐元（約一千台幣）Ｂ執照一次三十五歐元，私人付費更高達五十歐元。
