Physician's schedules are often full. When a patient fails to keep an appointment, that time cannot be utilized by other patients who are ill and need to see a physician. Therefore, we reserve the right to charge for missed appointments.
The fee is the amount applicable to the type of visit that was scheduled. Insurance companies do not pay missed appointment charges.
To avoid charges, cancellations should be made at least four hours before the scheduled appointment and when possible, 24 hours in advance.
We are aware that emergencies do arise so please do not hesitate to call if this should occur.
