Common use of Appointments and Cancellations Clause in Contracts

Appointments and Cancellations. You are responsible for attending each appointment and agree to adhere to the following policy: If you cannot keep the scheduled appointment, you MUST notify our office to cancel or reschedule the appointment within 24 of the scheduled appointment time or you will be charged full fee for the sessions. Psychotherapy is a uniquely personal service; therefore, consultations may be briefly interrupted. I may periodically take time off for vacation, seminars, and/or become ill. Attempts will be made to give adequate notice of these events. If I am unable to contact you directly, an associate may contact you to cancel or reschedule an appointment. FEES: The fee for each 60-minute therapy session is $300. Payment is due at the time of service. Acceptable forms of payment are: exact-amount cash, check (insufficient-funds checks will be returned upon full payment of the original amount plus $ for any returned check), or credit/debit card. In the event that a scheduled appointment time is missed or cancelled less than 24 hours, please refer to the “Appointments and Cancellations” policy above. The clinician reserves the right to terminate the counseling relationship if more than 2 sessions are missed without proper notification. The clinician charges his/her hourly rate in quarter hours for phone calls over 10 minutes in length, email correspondence, reading assessments or evaluations, writing assessments or letters, and collaborating with necessary professionals (with your permission) for continuity of care. All costs for services outside of session will be billed directly to your account and must be paid at the next scheduled session.
