What is your no show/cancellation policy?

No-Show and Last Minute Cancellation Policy

At PRIMECARE Comprehensive Health, LLC, we strive to provide the highest level of care and service to all of our clients. Our appointment-based system is designed to ensure that everyone has access to the services they need in a timely manner.

No-Show Policy

A “no-show” is defined as a missed appointment without prior notice. When patients do not attend their scheduled appointments, it affects not only their health but also other patients who may have been in need of those time slots. As a standard practice, we ask clients to notify us at least 24 hours in advance if they are unable to make their appointment.

Last Minute Cancellation Policy

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes circumstances arise that prevent clients from keeping their appointments. As a courtesy to our patient, we will waived the first last minute cancellation fee.

Last Minute Cancellation Definition: A last-minute cancellation is defined as a cancellation made within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment.

Cancellation Process:

  • Clients must notify us via call, text, or email as soon as they realize they cannot make their appointment.

No show/last minute cancellation fee:

To maintain this standard, we have implemented a No-Show and Last Minute Cancellation fee. This policy helps us manage our schedule effectively while also accommodating individuals who are in urgent need of services.

  • There is a $ 45 fee charged for regular appointments and a $70 fee charged for extended appointments (Physical, form filling, etc) to patients who fail to cancel their appointment without giving a 24-hour notice. These fees are not covered by insurance and is solely the responsibility of the patient.
  • There is a $65 fee charged for no call/no show for regular appointments and a $85 fee charged for extended appointments (Physical, form filling, etc).
  • Repeated no-shows of 3 missed appointments, will result in discharge of the patient from the practice.

Fees are not covered by insurance and will be billed directly to you. 

What should I do if I am are running late?

Please arrive to your appointment 15 minutes early. If you are running late, please call the office as early as possible. Appointment will be hold for a grace period of 15 minutes. If you need to run later than that, we may need to ask you to reschedule your appoinment (this will consider a last minute cancellation) or we may push your appointment to a later time on the same day to avoid the last minute cancellation fee.

What if I need a copy of my medical records?

Your medical records are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This means you have the right to request that we restrict how your Protected Health Information (PHI) is used or disclosed. According to HIPAA guidelines, you must sign a release of information form before we can release your medical records.
