For cancellation, rescheduling or missed appointments, your credit card on file will be automatically charged. As noted in the payment section of this document, there is a 3% charge for credit card or debit card payment, due to the additional cost for card payment processing.
If[tl1] a check is returned due to insufficient funds, you will be charged an additional fee of $20.Unless arrangements are made for a payment plan, all accounts that are outstanding for more than 90 days will be sent to our collections agency.
If you no show for your initial consultation you will be able to contact the clinic to assess availability for rescheduling your visit. However, if you no show at the second consecutive visit scheduled for initial evaluation, you won’t be able to reschedule. Missing appointments interferes with the efficacy and continuity of your care. Repeated no showing/cancellation/rescheduling will be carefully discussed and may be ground for termination of care.
