When you do not show up for a scheduled appointment, it creates an unused appointment slot that could have been used for another patient. It is very important that you call within 24 hours in advance to cancel your appointment.
Under most state laws, terminating a patient without proper notice or in the middle of a course of treatment could be considered patient abandonment, which has legal risks. Thus, terminating a patient should be viewed as a last resort measure.#N#When a patient misses appointments, it costs both the practice (in lost revenues) and the patient (in lost medical care). Minimizing no-shows through reminders and missed appointment fees should help reduce these costs to everyone involved.
Ensures that the missed appointment policy applies equally to all patients. Establishes that the billing staff is aware that Medicare beneficiaries should be billed directly for missed appointments. Ensures that charges for missed appointments are reflective of a missed business opportunity and not the cost of the service itself.
Many providers charge patients for missed appointments as an additional incentive to show up. Until this year, CMS precluded providers from charging Medicare patients for missed appointments as CMS considered missed appointments part of the overall cost of doing business. This past June, however, CMS published a notice providing new guidance on billing Medicare patients for missed appointments (the transmittal can be found on the CMS website). Under the current guidelines, Medicare allows a no-show fee as long as the practice:
This isn’t acceptable because the patient did not confirm the appointment. You can’t make appointments for patients without verbal or written confirmation. Furthermore, you could face legal action especially if there is no proof that confirmation was made. In my experience you just send the letters to weed out the patients that cause issues. They are not the individuals you want to work with.
Under the current guidelines, Medicare allows a no-show fee as long as the practice: Has a written policy on missed appointments that is provided to all patients. (Providers may also want to obtain patients’ signatures to acknowledge receipt of this policy as an extra preventive measure).
Under the new CMS guideline, hospital providers must adhere to slightly different rules. In most instances, hospitals are also allowed to charge a beneficiary for a missed appointment as long as the appointment is for an outpatient department, and provided all patients are charged equally. By contrast, hospitals are not allowed to charge a Medicare beneficiary for a missed inpatient appointment (hospital inpatient departments are not allowed to charge a patient for a failure to remain an inpatient for any agreed-upon length of time or for failure to give advance notice of departure from the provider’s facilities).
