Patient No Shows are the bane of every medical practice, and having strategies in place to reduce them is essential. Nationally, most medical practices without a systematic patient reminder process average 18 to 20 percent no-shows monthly. Even with no-show fees in place (which may or may not get paid).
If a patient fails to appear for a scheduled appointment and fails to notify you, it’s a no-show. And these are all-around detrimental to your practice: your business is affected in terms of both time and money; you don’t get to do the job you love; and your patients don’t get the help they need. You will find a way to reduce the numbers of no-shows in your office by trying these four ways.
