Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

  • Home
  • Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
  1. Purpose

This Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy outlines the procedures governing appointment cancellations, rescheduling requests, missed appointments, provider cancellations, and related scheduling matters for patients of Urgent Health Care Near Me (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

Because our healthcare providers reserve dedicated appointment times exclusively for each patient, timely communication regarding appointment changes is essential to ensure efficient scheduling and availability for all patients.

By scheduling an appointment with Urgent Health Care Near Me, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy.

  1. Scope

This Policy applies to all telehealth appointments scheduled through:

  • Our Website
  • Telephone scheduling
  • Electronic appointment requests
  • Online scheduling platforms
  • Administrative staff

This Policy should be read together with our:

  • Website Terms & Conditions
  • Refund Policy
  • Privacy Policy
  1. Appointment Confirmation

Appointments are not considered confirmed until you receive confirmation from Urgent Health Care Near Me through an approved communication method, including:

  • Email confirmation
  • SMS confirmation
  • Telephone confirmation
  • Approved scheduling platform notification

Submitting an appointment request alone does not guarantee an appointment.

Appointment availability remains subject to:

  • Provider availability
  • Clinical appropriateness
  • Verification of patient information
  • Successful payment processing where applicable
  1. Patient Cancellation Requests

Patients who are unable to attend a scheduled telehealth consultation should notify Urgent Health Care Near Me as soon as reasonably possible.

Early notification helps us make appointment times available for other patients requiring medical care.

Cancellation requests may be submitted through:

  • Telephone
  • Email
  • Approved scheduling platform
  • Other communication methods authorized by Urgent Health Care Near Me

A cancellation request is not considered received until it has been acknowledged by our office or recorded through an approved scheduling system.

  1. Rescheduling Appointments

Patients may request to reschedule appointments before their scheduled consultation time.

Rescheduling requests remain subject to:

  • Provider availability
  • Clinical scheduling requirements
  • Appointment availability
  • Verification of patient information

Approval of a rescheduling request is not guaranteed.

Urgent Health Care Near Me will make reasonable efforts to accommodate scheduling requests whenever practicable.

Repeated requests to reschedule appointments may result in scheduling restrictions or additional administrative review.

  1. Missed Appointments (“No-Shows”)

A patient will generally be considered a “No-Show” if:

  • They fail to attend the scheduled telehealth consultation.
  • They do not respond within a reasonable time after the provider initiates the appointment.
  • They fail to join the virtual consultation after reasonable attempts to establish contact.
  • They fail to notify the Company that they cannot attend.

Healthcare providers reserve appointment time exclusively for each patient.

Accordingly, missed appointments reduce appointment availability for other patients seeking care.

No-show appointments may be treated as completed appointments for billing purposes where permitted by applicable law and consistent with our Refund Policy.

  1. Late Arrival Policy

Patients are expected to be available and prepared at the scheduled appointment time.

If a patient joins significantly late, the provider may determine that:

  • The remaining appointment time is insufficient.
  • The consultation should proceed within the remaining available time.
  • The appointment should be rescheduled.
  • The appointment should be cancelled.

These decisions remain solely within the professional and operational discretion of Urgent Health Care Near Me.

Late arrival does not automatically entitle a patient to an extended consultation or a refund.

  1. Technical Difficulties

Patients are responsible for ensuring they have access to:

  • A reliable internet connection.
  • A functioning computer, tablet, or smartphone.
  • A working camera and microphone where required.
  • A private location suitable for discussing confidential healthcare information.

If technical issues occur on the patient’s device, internet service, or equipment, Urgent Health Care Near Me will make reasonable efforts to reconnect or continue the consultation where feasible.

Technical issues originating from the patient’s equipment generally do not constitute grounds for cancellation without charge or entitlement to a refund.

Where technical issues originate from our systems and prevent completion of the consultation, we may, at our discretion:

  • Reschedule the appointment.
  • Continue the consultation using an alternative approved communication method.
  • Issue a refund where appropriate under our Refund Policy.
  1. Provider Cancellations

Occasionally, circumstances beyond our reasonable control may require Urgent Health Care Near Me to cancel or postpone an appointment.

Examples include:

  • Provider illness.
  • Medical emergencies.
  • Technical failures.
  • Internet outages.
  • Power interruptions.
  • Licensing restrictions.
  • Unexpected scheduling conflicts.
  • Circumstances affecting patient safety.

Where possible, affected patients will be notified promptly.

Patients may be offered:

  • A rescheduled appointment.
  • An alternative provider, where appropriate.
  • A refund consistent with our Refund Policy if services cannot reasonably be provided.

Urgent Health Care Near Me shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from necessary appointment cancellations.

  1. Circumstances Beyond Our Control

Appointments may occasionally need to be delayed, postponed, or cancelled due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Urgent Health Care Near Me.

These circumstances may include:

  • Natural disasters.
  • Severe weather.
  • Public health emergencies.
  • Government restrictions.
  • Internet service failures.
  • Cybersecurity incidents.
  • Utility interruptions.
  • Third-party technology failures.
  • Other force majeure events.

In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to reschedule appointments as promptly as practicable.

  1. Patient Conduct

Patients are expected to interact respectfully with healthcare providers, administrative staff, and support personnel.

Urgent Health Care Near Me reserves the right to cancel, terminate, or refuse appointments if a patient:

  • Uses abusive or threatening language.
  • Engages in harassment or discriminatory behaviour.
  • Provides fraudulent or misleading information.
  • Attempts to obtain medications unlawfully.
  • Records consultations without authorization where prohibited by law.
  • Violates our Website Terms & Conditions or other published policies.
  • Engages in conduct that compromises the safety or integrity of our staff or services.

Termination of an appointment for these reasons does not create an obligation to provide a refund.

  1. Relationship to Refund Policy

Cancellation requests, missed appointments, late arrivals, provider cancellations, and technical issues may affect refund eligibility.

Refund determinations are governed exclusively by our separate Refund Policy, which forms part of the contractual relationship between the patient and Urgent Health Care Near Me.

Nothing in this Policy guarantees a refund.

  1. Policy Updates

Urgent Health Care Near Me reserves the right to modify this Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy at any time.

Updated versions will be posted on our Website with a revised effective date.

Continued use of our Website or services after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
