Our practice serves patients with chronic to severe medical needs. Patients who regularly miss appointments cause other patients a delay in care or cause them to be seen at a later date or time. Please be courteous to other patients and our practice by keeping your appointments.
To encourage all patients to attend their appointments, we charge a $50.00 “No-Show” fee, which your insurance will not pay for. This fee will be waived each time our office is notified of a rescheduling or cancellation prior to the scheduled appointment time.
In accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 123110 (HSC § 123110), we may charge 25 cents per page plus a reasonable clerical fee for copies of your medical record, upon written request submitted to our practice.
