Sample of our no show policy template:

NO SHOW POLICY POLICY To maximize our efficiency in seeing patients, serving patients by appointment is a requirement. However, no-shows and late cancellations can have a significant impact on our practice beyond just financial implications. When an appointment is booked, it occupies an available time slot that could have been used for another patient. Additionally, no-shows and late cancellations can cause delays in healthcare delivery to other patients, some of whom may be dealing with serious medical issues. PURPOSE We schedule our appointments so that each patient receives the right amount of time to be seen by our physicians and staff. That's why it is very important that you keep your scheduled appointment with [CLINIC / INSTITUTION NAME] and arrive on time. We appreciate your patronage and strive to provide exceptional service to all our patients. To ensure the best possible experience for everyone, we have implemented a No-show Policy. A "no-show" is missing a scheduled appointment. A "late cancellation" is canceling an appointment without calling us to cancel within 24 hours of an office appointment or 72 hours in advance of a procedure. SCOPE This Policy applies to all patients who have made an appointment with us. REMINDER As a courtesy, and to help our patients remember their scheduled appointments, [CLINIC / INSTITUTION NAME] sends text messages and email reminders [NUMBER OF DAYS] days and [NUMBER OF HOURS] hours in advance of the appointment time. If your schedule changes and you cannot keep your appointment, please contact us so we may reschedule you, and accommodate those patients who are waiting for an appointment. CANCELLATION NOTICE
