Hello List,
I haven't found any information regarding charging for missed appointments.
I realize we cannot charge the insurance companies for this, but it seems a
modest cash charge could serve as an impetus to either show up to an
appointment, or call to reschedule. This hasn't been a major issue, but I'm
curious how it is handled across the country.
Also, do many clinics do reminder calls the day prior to appointments?
Thanks for your input,
