The full session fee is charged for cancellations with less than 48 hours notice and missed appointments, whatever the reason for the cancellation. Insurance plans do not reimburse for sessions that are not attended. After two consecutive cancelled appointments or if appointments are repeatedly cancelled I may recommend that we stop therapy for the time being.
