Yes, if deemed medically necessary by the provider based on your clinical evaluation and the severity of your presenting symptoms.

However, in our efforts to provide honest, accurate, and substantial information for any disability-related accommodations including but not limited to Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) paperwork or short-term disability paperwork, you must be a patient at the practice who has received mental health services consistently (attending at least biweekly or monthly appointments) for at least 6 months.

Accepted Answer

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please contact your provider or self-schedule via the Simple Practice patient portal to reschedule and/or cancel your appointment at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time.

At the time of your appointment being scheduled, your time slot is reserved for you and this prevents other patients from being able to schedule with the provider during this time.

Therefore, missed appointments and late cancellations are subject to a $100 fee.
