MEDICAL HISTORY INFORMATION
"No Show" and "Cancellation" Policy & Procedure
For Office Visits, Procedures & Surgery
At Garden State Eye Center, our goal is to provide quality care in a timely manner. We have implemented a no-show and cancellation policy which enables us to better utilize available appointments for our patients. The following policy is regarding patients who fail to keep their scheduled office visit appointment, procedure appointment or scheduled surgery appointment.
Please be courteous and call Garden State Eye Center promptly if you are unable to attend an appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who needs treatment. Available appointments are in high demand and your early cancellation will give another person the possibility to have access to timely care.
Patients who fail to show for their scheduled appointment or did not notify the office within 24 hours of their scheduled appointment time, shall be subject to a "No Show/Cancellation" fee of $25.00 for 1st missed appointment; fee of $50.00 for 2nd missed appointment; fee of $100.00 for 3 missed appointment. In the event of an actual emergency and prior notice could not be given, consideration will be given, and a one-time exception may be granted.
Patients who fail to show for their scheduled office procedure appointment or did not notify the office within 48 hours of their scheduled appointment time, shall be subject to a "No Show/Cancellation" fee of $100.00.
Patients who fail to show for their scheduled surgery appointment, did not notify the office within 48 hours of their scheduled surgery appointment time, shall be subject to a "No Show/Cancellation" penalty of $500.00. If canceled by the physician as a medical necessity, then the patient is not subject to this charge. Insurance authorization denials are also an exemption of the fees.
These fees are not covered by insurance and is therefore the sole responsibility of the patient.
