If you can pay for Spellcasting services, can you pay for Spell-Like Abilities?

So, after a hard day of adventuring through Absalom's disgusting sewer system, you way up feeling pretty bad the next day, and are reasonably confident that you've contracted Filth Fever.

You try to get better on your own, since you're somewhat poor, but you get even sicker the next day.

You decide to head to the Grand Lodge to find a Pathfinder cleric to heal you, but you're a bit short of funds and are worried that a single casting of Remove Disease won't be enough for you.

Can you find another cleric with the Luck Domain, and pay him to use his Touch of Luck spell like ability on the Cleric that is going to heal you, in order to increase the other cleric's chances?

If so.. what would this cost?

And it's obviously not in the rules that I know of, so I guess you can't. However, could you use your own Touch of Luck, or Fortune Hex or whatnot on the Cleric that is trying to heal you?

It's a neat idea - If you travel with a party whose cleric has the luck domain you'd benefit from the casting. I had never considered using a domain ability like that on an NPC.

By definition, a Spell-like Ability emulates an existing spell, so while you can't directly pay for the casting of a spell-like ability, you can pay for the casting of the appropriate spell. The only tricky part comes in identifying the spell in question.

This is nowhere close to true. There are approximately 1 bazillion spell-like abilities granted by sorcerer bloodlines, cleric domains, and so forth that do not emulate any spell at all (not even a modified version of one). There's even a FAQ that tells you how to determine the effective spell level of an SLA when it doesn't reference a spell at all.
