PATIENT GUIDE TO HEALTHWISE CLINIC OFFICE POLICIES

Proof of Insurance

  • All patients will need to show proof of insurance at every visit.

  • Please call before your appointment if your insurance changes so that the verification of your new insurance will not delay your visit.

 

Late Policy

  • Please call in advance if you are running late so that we may attempt to reorganize the schedule to try to keep your appointment.

  • Patients arriving more than 15 minutes late will be rescheduled.
     

Cancellations, Rescheduling and No Show Appointments

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment you will need to notify our office at least 2 hours in advance of your appointment.

  • Failure to do so will result in a $25 fee for the first no show, $50 for the second and $100 for subsequent missed appointments. This fee is considered non-covered by your insurance and the patient will be responsible for this charge.

  • Outstanding fees must be paid before future appointments can be scheduled.
