Missed Appointments & Cancellations
CMG Psychiatric Care has a cancellation fee of $100 for any appointment that a client does not attend, cancels with less than 48 hours notice, or comes to more than 15 minutes late. This time has been reserved for you, and insurance will not cover the cost of an appointment that does not occur. It is important to attend all scheduled visits. Frequently missing appointments (or cancelling them with minimal notice) may result in termination care. If you no show for an initial intake appointment or cancel with less than 48 hours notice you will also be charged this fee and your intake may not be rescheduled.
Prescription Refills
In most cases, prescription renewals will only be authorized during appointments. Your clinician will ensure that you have enough medication to last until your next office visit. In the rare circumstance that a prescription is refilled outside of an appointment (if for example you canceled an appointment and need to reschedule), there may be a $35 re-fill charge associated with the work involved in processing this request. Keep in mind that refill requests may take up to 2 business days to complete.
Please do not have your pharmacy contact CMG Psychiatric Care. It is our policy that any requests from pharmacies will not be responded to. This is to prevent medical errors from occurring, such as the renewal of a former medication or dosage. It is the responsibility of the client to contact the office directly when there is an issue with any prescription, including the need for a prior authorization.
