Yes, according to medicare rules, a doctor. can charge a patient for a missed appointment, but they can't pick who they charge. If they charge for a missed appointment, they must charge all who "no show"Although it isn't a question of legality as there are not laws governing such action.The policy to charge for missed appointments is made by many doctors and health care providers, including dentist, psychologists, even some clinics. It may not seem fair to the individual who is being billed but it is most assuredly not illegal.In the UK:Here in the UK we don't pay for health care as we have the National health Service paid for through taxes and national Insurance, but even here we are starting to have to pay for missed appointments.If you don't turn up the doctor has to wait a while to see if you do which wastes his time, and the appointment could have been used for someone else who needed it.It is calculated that each missed appointment with a family physician costs �30 (about $44 dollars, and each missed hospital appointment costs �50 (about $70).
Yes, a dental office in Massachusetts can legally charge for a missed appointment if there is a clear policy in place regarding missed appointments, and the patient has been informed of this policy. Typically, this information is communicated through the office's intake forms or appointment confirmation reminders. However, the amount charged must be reasonable and not punitive. It’s advisable for patients to review the office's policy to understand any potential fees.
it is not the MD's responsibility to call & remind you of an appointment. some will do this as a courtesy. some MD's will charge for a missed appt, however, i believe this must be posted in their office. they cannot charge double their fee.
Unfortunately, it is legal for a doctor to charge someone for an appointment even if they didn't show. This is because the missed appointment takes time and money away from the firm. Time: because they have to make follow up calls and reschedule the appointment. And Money: because they could have had another patient during your missed appointment. Since it has become common for people to miss their appointments it has become more common for doctors to charge anyway. You should reschedule the appointment a few days beforehand to give them time to find another patient for the alloted time.
If you are charged for a missed appointment, then there was a clause in the paper work allowing the doctor to bill you. If you feel otherwise, then you can always ask the doctor for the clause and where it is stated in the paper work. This usually only applies to Private Practices rather than Hospitals.
