No-Show and Late Cancel Fees

If you have private insurance or Medicare (i.e. not Medicaid) you will be charged $50 for a missed follow up and $100 for a missed initial assessment that is cancelled late or you do not show up for.

In the case of Medicaid, including managed Medicaid plans, we have a separate policy which patients sign. We do not charge this group of patients any fees. However, if too many appointments are cancelled late or are no shows, you will be moved to same day appointments or your file will be closed.

Please note, if a patient with Medicaid is a No-Show or Late Cancels their initial appointment it is our policy to close their file with our clinic.
