CHI Memorial Integrative Medicine Associates 1. Cancellation/ No Show Policy for Doctor Appointment We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work or family. However, failing to call to cancel an appointment, may be preventing another patient from getting much needed treatment. As of July 1, 2016 if an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance you will be charged a fifty dollar ($50) fee; this will not be covered by your insurance company. Three No-Show appointments will subject you to possible dismissal from the practice. 2. Scheduled Appointments We understand that delays can happen however we must try to keep the other patients and doctors on time. If a patient is 15 minutes past their scheduled time for a primary care visit or 10 mins for nutritional counseling and/or shows up after their appointment time without the required paperwork we will have to reschedule the appointment to a later time or date. / / Print Name Patient Signature Patient/Guardian Date
