Office Policies

Late Cancellations & Appointment No-Shows

It is the policy of PrimeCare Medical Group to monitor and manage appointment late cancellations and no-shows. This is necessary to ensure that we are able to provide timely access for all patients to our providers. Undue numbers of unutilized appointments delays necessary medical care for patients.
