Cancelations

We understand there are times when patients must cancel appointments. We request 24 hours’ notice for rescheduled or cancelled appointments. If you are late for an appointment, we may need to reschedule it.

“No-shows”

If you don’t show up for your appointment or provide less than 24-hours’ notice, it leaves a period of time when the health care provider could have seen someone who needs our care. If you have three no-shows, we no longer will schedule appointments for you.

Insurance

Please bring your insurance card. If you don’t, you may be responsible for the office visit charges. If your policy has a copay-ment, please be prepared to pay it at the time of your visit.

No insurance

If you don’t have insurance, you must pay for your office visit on the day of your appointment. If you have questions or need help with insurance, please call our office before your appointment.
