No-Show Policy Templates

"Our practice requires 24 hours advance notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a late cancellation fee of $[25-50]. Patients who do not appear for their scheduled appointment without advance notice (no-shows) may be charged a no-show fee of $[25-75]. This fee cannot be submitted to your insurance carrier and is your direct financial responsibility. Repeated no-shows may affect your ability to schedule future appointments with this practice. If you experience an emergency or illness preventing attendance, please notify us as soon as possible."

"I require 24 hours advance notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Sessions cancelled within 24 hours of the appointment time will be charged the full session fee of $[X]. This late cancellation fee will be charged directly to you and cannot be submitted to your insurance carrier. Appointments for which you do not appear and for which no advance notice is given (no-shows) are charged at the full session rate. Occasional exceptions may be made for genuine emergencies at my sole discretion. Consistent attendance supports your therapeutic progress and ensures my time is available for clients who need it."

"A valid credit card is required to hold all appointments. We require 24 hours advance notice for cancellations. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged 50% of the scheduled service total. Appointments that are not attended without advance notice will be charged 100% of the scheduled service total. This charge will be applied to the card provided at booking. Repeated no-shows may require full prepayment for future bookings."
