Physical Therapy Attendance Policy (Please read thoroughly)

Premier Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine strives to provide each patient with the highest level of quality care while attempting to accommodate your schedule for your convenience.
Therefore, we provide reserved time slots for each patient with a specific therapist in order to minimize your waiting and assure continuity of your treatment. Your consistent attendance of the planned treatment regimen is paramount to your full recovery.

While we are sensitive to the fact that an emergency may occur in a rare instance, cancellations less than 24 hours prior to treatment along with patient no-shows,strong> decrease our ability to accommodate the scheduling needs of the other patients. It also affects how we staff each location. Additionally, keeping your scheduled appointments is courteous to your therapist and other patients. We must ask for your full cooperation with the following policy:

• If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment and fail to notify us, treatment may be canceled, and a $50.00 fee charged for missing the appointment.
• A scheduled appointment MUST BE CANCELED AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE, or the fee will be charged for that appointment.
• Failure to show up for an appointment (“NO SHOW”) without notifying us will result in $50.00 fee for therapy appointments, $100.00 fee for Pelvic Foor and Lymphedema appointments and $300.00 fee for FCE appointments. Furthermore, 2 consecutive no-shows will result in the cancellation of all remaining scheduled appointments.
• THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FEE, NOT THE INSURANCE/THIRD PARTY PAYER
• All cancellations and no-shows will be documented in your medical record and appropriately reported to your physician and insurance/third party payer.
• Repeated failure to comply with this ATTENDANCE POLICY will result in discharge from the practice. Your physician’s office will be notified.
• No cancellation fee will be charged if the missed appointment is made within the same week it was scheduled on a day you do not have another appointment scheduled.

We believe that this policy is necessary for the benefit of all our patients, so that we may continue to provide high quality treatment and service to everyone. All the staff at Premier Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine appreciates your anticipated adherence and cooperation with this policy. We wish you the best of luck with your treatment. We are here to help you attain all your goals and optimize your returns to all your pre-injury activities
