APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING FEES, LATE FEES, AND CANCELLATION FEES:
Spiro Plastic Surgery LLC collects fees for scheduling an appointment. Scheduling fees are collected prior to scheduling the appointment and will be applied towards your consultation fee or service fee. Please read the following carefully.
CONSULTATION/SCHEDULING FEE FOR DR. SPIRO:
- The cosmetic consultation fee for Dr. Spiro is $500. This is prepaid and collected at the time of scheduling an appointment. This amount is retained as a cancellation fee for appointments that are cancelled or rescheduled within two business days of an appointment and “no shows.”
- Specialist co-pays are prepaid and collected at the time of scheduling an appointment for patients seeking treatment for medically necessary or potentially medically necessary procedures for patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial insurance plans. This amount is retained as a cancellation fee for appointments that are cancelled or rescheduled within two business days of an appointment and “no shows.”
- Spiro Plastic Surgery is out-of-network with all other carriers, opted out of Medicare, and we do not accept Medicaid. The consultation fee for patients seeking treatment for medically necessary or potentially medically necessary procedures with out-of-network plans, Medicare, or Medicaid is $200 and is prepaid and collected at the time of scheduling an appointment. This amount is retained as a cancellation fee for appointments that are cancelled or rescheduled within two business days of an appointment and “no shows.”
- If you have out-of-network benefits, your consultation fee will be submitted to your carrier on your behalf.
NON-SURGICAL CONSULTATION / APPOINTMENT DEPOSIT & CANCELLATION POLICY
To book your appointment, a $100 deposit is required. If treatment is recommended and performed within 30 days, the deposit will be applied towards your total cost. If no treatment is recommended or you decide not to move forward with the treatment plan, the deposit will be retained as a consultation fee. “No-shows” or cancelations within two business days will forfeit the deposit as a cancelation fee.
LATE FEES AND CANCELLATION FEES:
We ask that you arrive 15 minutes in advance of your appointment to complete additional paperwork (Privacy Practices, Financial Agreement, and any other applicable consents). A late fee will be assessed for appointments with Dr. Spiro, for skin care services, and for Coolsculpting treatments for patients who do not arrive on time for their appointment. If you are late and we cannot accommodate you, your appointment will be subject to cancellation. The scheduling fee will be assessed and retained as your late fee charge.
If you are late and our office is able to accommodate you, the scheduling fee will be assessed and retained as a late fee charge and will not be applied towards the balance of your consultation or treatment. The full amount of the service will be due at the time of the appointment.
