    Cancellation Policy:

    Confirmation of Doctors Appointments:

    (Please Initial) It is the policy of Noah’s Ark Child and Family Treatment Center (NACFTC) that all doctors’ appointments must be confirmed within 24 hours from appointment time and date. If you do not confirm your appointment 24 hours prior to the appointment, you will be taken off the schedule for that day and will need to reschedule the appointment for a later date. Failure to continue not to confirm appointments within a 24 hour period after 3 scheduled appointments will result in an immediate discharge from all services provided By NACFTC.

    Cancellation/ No Show Policy for Doctor Appointment:

    (Please Initial) We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work or family. However, when you do not call to cancel an appointment, you may be preventing another consumer from getting much needed treatment. Conversely, the situation may arise where another consumer fails to cancel and we are unable to schedule you for a visit, due to a seemingly “full” appointment schedule. If an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours then it will count towards a No Show. It is the policy of Noah’s Ark Child and Family Treatment Center (NACFTC), if you have 3 no shows or fail to cancel your appointment 3 times within a 24 hour time period you will be automatically discharged from all services provided by NACFTC.

    Scheduled Doctor Appointments:

    (Please Initial) We understand that delays can happen however we must try to keep the other consumers and doctors on time. If a consumer is 15 minutes past their scheduled time, it is the policy of Noah’s Ark Child and Family Treatment Center (NACFTC) to reschedule the appointment.

    Standby Appointments:

    (Please Initial) It is the policy of Noah’s Ark Child and Family Treatment Center (NACFTC) that if a consumer is on their second cancellation/no show appointment, failure to confirm appointment, or late appointment that they may be placed on standby. Standby is your ability to be present in the office waiting on a space for the doctor to see you. This simply means that the administrator staff will give you a time slot for you to come into the office and wait to see if we have any “no show” appointments. If we have any “no show” appointments we will speak with the doctors about seeing you. Please note: that with standby you will be expected to be present in the office at your assigned time slot. Should you leave and/or become unable to stay during the full time of your assigned time slot you will not be seen, and will have to take the next available appointment. Failure to not show up to next available appointment will result in immediate discharge from all services provided By NACFTC.

    Therapist Appointments:

    (Please Initial) It is the policy of Noah’s Ark Child and Family Treatment Center (NACFTC) to provide quality counseling service to our consumers and their families through individual and family counseling. Due to a huge demand of counseling services we must make sure that all consumers and their families are complaint with all counseling qualifications. These qualifications are but not limited to: 6 month Behavior assessments, attending all schedule counseling sessions; with the limit of 3 reschedule, cancelled/no show, or failure to follow-up, and consistent parent participation in counseling from consumer’s parent and/or guardian. Failure to meet the qualification of completing a Behavioral Assessment every 6 months will cause cease in all services provided by NACFTC. Three reschedule, cancelled/no show, or failure to follow-up will result in discontinuation of therapeutic services and continuation of medication management services only.
