Despite your staff\u2019s best efforts to remind patients of their appointments, you\u2019re still likely plagued by one or two no-show encounters every day. The MGMA has estimated that medical practices average a 5 to 7% no-show rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not so bad, right? After all, you can\u2019t expect every single patient to show up as planned.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, perhaps you should. If the average encounter in your office yields a $25 co-pay and a $90 reimbursement, just two missed co-pays per day can cost your practice nearly $60,000 per year<\/strong>. And that estimate excludes the administrative and payroll expenses you lose scheduling and rescheduling that appointment.<\/p>\n

Medical practices across the country are wising up to the loss of revenue missed appointments are reaping on their businesses. Taking a cue from the hair salons and hotels of the world, healthcare establishments are charging patients no-show fees for blowing off appointments or canceling at the last-minute.<\/p>\n

But should they? There are loud voices in the medical industry arguing both for and against no-show charging.<\/p>\n

FOR a Fee
\n<\/strong>Patients tend to see medical practices solely as healthcare providers, not as functioning businesses. As such, they\u2019re far more likely to skip out on a medical appointment than they would be to dodge a rental car reservation.<\/p>\n

So there\u2019s definitely value in a policy that makes it clear to patients that a physician\u2019s time, effort, and services cost money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a belief that the doctor will not \u2018miss the patient\u2019 or time,\u201d says Drew Stevens, Ph.D., president of Stevens Consulting Group. \u201cHowever, there are two issues here: one, another patient could have taken this appointment, and two, that is lost revenue for the doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charging a no-show fee is the only way to earn back even a fraction of that lost revenue<\/a>. A blanket $20 fee for every missed appointment may not recoup anywhere near what your practice would have earned in the actual encounter, but in today\u2019s healthcare environment, many docs feel every extra dollar helps.<\/p>\n

If your payer contracts allow it, you can collect a patient\u2019s credit card information while booking his or her appointment \u2013 communicating your no-show policy as you do \u2013 and automatically collect your charges<\/strong> when a scheduled visit is skipped.<\/p>\n

Part of the point of having a policy in place, though, is hoping you don\u2019t have to enforce it. The threat of the fee may be all it takes to get patients who would otherwise stay home to show up.<\/p>\n

Practices often find that no-shows are committed by \u201crepeat offenders,\u201d<\/a> so a sudden change in your office\u2019s policy could scare patients into changing their bad habits. One practice reported moving from a 17 percent no-show rate to less than one percent after instituting a fee.<\/p>\n

AGAINST a Fee
\n<\/strong>Or, a sudden change in policy could spur your chronic skippers to head for your closest competing provider organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked with one practice that realized many of the patients they were charging for missed appointments also brought in the best reimbursement,\u201d says Elizabeth Woodcock, a practice management consultant. \u201cBy comparing chart transfer requests and no-show charges, the practice soon realized that a significant minority of these more lucrative patients transferred their care after receiving a billing statement that contained a no-show charge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if perturbed patients don\u2019t leave your practice due to the fee policy<\/a>, they may still resent being charged and could publicize their displeasure<\/strong> to friends, family, or in an online review.<\/p>\n

Plus, unless you have a credit card on file as discussed above, it can be difficult to get a patient to pay his no-show fee at all. The expense of mailing a bill<\/a> for the missed-visit charge and the hassle of repeatedly requesting that a patient pay up may be more trouble than the fee is worth.<\/p>\n

No-show fees can also project an image of inflexibility to your patients. After all \u2013 things come up. Patients often have legitimate, unavoidable reasons for missing appointments or canceling at the last minute. A rigid fee policy can alienate busy patients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You could always institute a more lax policy \u2013 some practices waive the fee on the first instance or in extenuating circumstances \u2013 but that can open up its own can of worms.<\/p>\n

What counts as \u201cextenuating?\u201d Who decides when not to enforce the policy? Are you keeping records of which patients have already received their one waived-fee credit? It can be easy for miscommunication to occur<\/strong> and for someone to incur charges they thought they\u2019d avoided.<\/p>\n

So is a partial reimbursement on lost time and revenue worth potentially upsetting your patients over? That\u2019s up to you to decide.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your no-show policy and how do you enforce it?<\/strong><\/p>\n
