Do you get charged for it and such etc, I have my condition somewhat more stable than before and ok with, but they still happen time to time and don't know the time they come to me, they are not scheduled or on a time frame, just wondering what your thoughts are on it and such, curious and wondering is all.
I have missed my share of appts over the years . I have never been billed for any one of them. Just called in and explained whybi can't be there that dáy or missed an appt. My doctors are all in the same system so they can see that I was in the er or admitted. Or was in touch with my neurologist because of seizures.
Question: What should I do about medical appointment cancellation fees if I have to miss an appointment due to an unexpected seizure?

1. Contact the medical office immediately when you're able
2. Explain that you had a seizure that prevented attendance
3. Ask if they can waive the cancellation fee Show Full Answer
This sounds like one of those issues that ends up in court unless they refund you. Issue is they would most likely charge you regardless due to a automatization in the system and because of that you then have to prove what happened. This is why its always a very good idea to have a good relationship with the dr and for the drs practice to have a contact with the hospital. That way they would most likely know what happened very quickly or at least be able to find out if needed.
I missed one once but never got charged for it.
