CanceLlation Policy
We understand that things come up. However, you should be getting a text reminder for your upcoming appointment so failing to call and reschedule or cancel, your appointment denies other clients the ability to book their appointment. A cancellation made with less than a 24 hour notice significantly limits our ability to make the appointment available for another patient in need.
To remain consistent with our mission, we have instituted the following policy:
1. Please provide our office a 24-hour notice in the event that you need to reschedule your appointment. This will allow us the opportunity to provide care to another patient. A message can always be left with the answering service to avoid a cancellation fee being charged.
2. A “No-Show”, “No-Call” or missed appointment, without proper 24-hour notification, may be assessed a $45 fee. A missed acupuncture appointment may be assessed a $55 fee. An update appointment may be assessed an $80 fee.
3. This fee is not billable to your insurance.
4. If you are 8 or more minutes late for your appointment, the appointment may be cancelled and rescheduled.
5. As a courtesy, we send text reminders for appointments, one day in advance. Please note, if a reminder text is not received, the cancellation policy remains in effect. Please make sure we have the correct cell phone number in our system.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let our staff know and we will be glad to clarify any questions you have. A copy of this policy will be provided to you if you’d like.
