Can My Provider Charge Me for an Appointment I Missed?

Published 09/18/2024

Answer
Yes, if the provider has a policy of charging all patients for missed appointments, and the charges for Medicare patients and non-Medicare patients are the same.

Medicare does not make any payments for missed appointment fees. Charges for missed appointments should not be billed to Medicare.
