If you book an appointment at Phoenix Mental Health Services, it is important that you are aware of our payment terms and conditions. You must read these terms and conditions before booking and paying for your appointment.
Appointment cancellation:
If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours (1 working day), or do not attend your appointment, we currently charge or retain fees. If you would like to discuss these terms and conditions, or have any concerns, please contact our Practice Team on 0370 162 0673 (ext 1) or [email protected].
Appointment rescheduling:
If you wish to reschedule your appointment, this will be free if it is done 24 hours (1 working day) before your appointment is due to take place. After this time it will be classed as a cancellation and the fee will be retained. You can book another appointment but this will need to be paid for separately.
Appointments paid for by your private medical insurance company:
Insurance companies do not pay for appointments that are not attended or cancelled with less than one working day’s notice. Please note that if you do not provide at least 1 working day’s notice to reschedule your appointment we will send you an invoice for your appointment and we ask that you pay this within one working day. No further appointments can be arranged until your invoice has been paid by you.
