Policy Information
Late Cancellation Policy
Be Better Chiropractic is committed to providing our patients with exceptional care. We respect that your time is valuable and appreciate that you understand ours is too. We do our best to stick to schedule and minimise your wait times while maintaining a high level of service.
For your convenience, a confirmation email is automatically sent immediately upon booking your appointment. We also provide text and email reminders 24-48 hours before your scheduled appointment time.
While we understand that circumstances may arise that prevent you from keeping your appointment, we request that you provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice prior to your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to attend for any reason. This allows us to offer the appointment time to someone else in need.
Please notify us as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment. Schedule alterations or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or repeat offenders, may attract our ‘late cancellation fee’ (50% of the appointment fee).
Payment Policy
At Be Better Chiropractic, payment is required in full on the consultation day. We accept card payments via our EFTPOS/HICAPS terminal or cash. For HICAPS claims, please bring your health insurance card to ensure immediate processing and reimbursement on the day of your consultation. If you forget your card, we will provide a paper or electronic receipt for manual processing with your insurer.
To receive a $5 discount for seniors and concession card holders, a valid concession or pension card must be presented at the time of payment.
Workcover, TAC and EPC claims also require full payment at the time of consultation. Please note that reimbursement from these third parties may not cover the full cost of the consultation, potentially resulting in a “gap” between the fees charged and the amount reimbursed.
