Cancellation Policy:

All services are provided by appointment only and this scheduled time is for your exclusive use. Cancellation policy differs by type of appointment as written below.

Initial functional medicine/Autism Spectrum consult:

All new patients are required to give a 1 week cancellation notice due to the length of the appointment and time spent by the physician reviewing your records. Center for Holistic Medicine retains the deposit of $200.00 as nonrefundable. If you do not call or just do not show up for your appointment you will be billed for the remaining amount of $200.00. These appointments are very involved and time consuming)

Email Policies:

As a part of our effort to provide you with the very best medical care, our clinicians use emails as a form of communications with patients.

Email Guidelines:

• Email communications is viewed as billable time, as in an office visit or telephone consultations.
• Any Email that requires at least 15 minutes of clinician time will be billed as per the clinician’s discretion.
• Brief emails will not be billed individually, but frequent emails will be cumulative and left to the clinician’s sole discretion when billing time is necessary.

Please note that if you choose to submit our invoices to your insurance company for reimbursement, telephone consults are not generally covered by insurance and email correspondence is not covered by insurance. You should not submit invoices for email correspondence to your insurance provider.
