"NO SHOW" Policy

Children's Clinic of El Paso is dedicated to providing excellent patient care. Appointments that are missed hinder our ability to provide the highest quality of care possible.

If a patient is unable to keep an appointment, they are asked to contact the office 24 hours prior to the appointment time. If an appointment is not kept, or not cancelled it will be considered a "NO SHOW".

  • After the 3 "NO SHOW" appointments the parent or guardian has two choices:
  1. Pay a $20.00 missed appointment fee. Every missed appointment after that will be charged an additional $20.00 missed appointment fee.
  2. Or the parent or guardian and all patients on the account will be dismissed from the practice and required to find another pediatrician. If the parent or guardian chooses to be dismissed there will be no charge.
  • If the parent or guardian choose to leave our practice and a patient's insurance carrier or Medicaid has assigned the patient to our office, the insurance carrier or Medicaid will be contacted to have the patient reassigned to another primary care physician's office.

As a courtesy, our office will attempt to contact the parent of their child's appointment the day prior. However, if we are unable to make contact, it is still the obligation of the parent to keep or cancel the appointment.

The intent of this policy is to prevent delays and care and utilize physician's time more efficiently by reducing unused appointment slots, and making those times available to other patients.

We appreciate you respecting and adhering to our practice's "NO SHOW" policy.

I have read and understand the Children's Clinic of El Paso's "NO SHOW" policy. I also understand that if I do not agree to this policy that I can request my child's insurance carrier to assign my child to another Primary Care Physician's office if applicable.
