[quote=Anonymous]Many practices will dismiss patients after X amount of missed visits. This does come up more often with Medicaid patients, unfortunately, because we are unable to charge no-show fees to Medicaid patients (or, we can try to charge them, but have no legal grounds to actually collect them). So a patient with commercial insurance- if they no show, we can charge 50 dollars to partially recoup the money we lost on them not coming, and that helps. But not for Medicaid patients. So if in a 12 month period, a patient no shows three times, we dismiss them. Regardless of insurance, before you ask. But if we didn’t accept Medicaid we likely wouldn’t need this rule. But I dont believe in not seeing Medicaid patients, much to my own financial detriment, and I plan on continuing to accept them because I think it’s the right way to practice. I hate insurances.
