1. Appointment Scheduling and Cancellation
By scheduling an appointment, you agree to arrive at the designated time. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the appointment cost.
2. What is Processing Fee
Dr. Tara Ralph is not affiliated with drgalen.org. The fee displayed is for our coordination or processing service only; it covers our effort involved in scheduling the appointment with the doctor's clinic on the patient's behalf. This is not the consultation fee. Once the appointment is confirmed, the patient will visit the clinic directly for consultation and pay the doctor according to their policy, not to us.
3. Payment Terms
Payment is due at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept various payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payment services.
4. Medical Information and Privacy
You authorize us to collect, use, and disclose your personal health information for the purposes of providing medical care, securing payment, and other healthcare operations. Your information will be kept confidential in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
5. Patient Responsibilities
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete information about your present health conditions, past illnesses, hospitalizations, medications, and other matters relating to your health. You are also responsible for following the treatment plan recommended by healthcare providers.
