Patient No-Show Policy

Patients not showing up for doctor appointments is a widespread phenomenon in India. This can have dire consequences, especially due to the dearth of medical practitioners to address the health concerns of a growing population.

Our Patient No-Show policy has been put in place to ensure timely healthcare for everyone using the Redheal platform. In the Redheal context, Patient No-Show means a patient hasn’t turned up on time for an appointment booked through Redheal.com or Redheal App without canceling, rescheduling, or informing the practice/doctor in advance about the same.

Capturing patient-no-show from doctors/ clinics

When a patient doesn’t show up for a confirmed appointment (without having canceled or rescheduled before appointment time), doctors using Pro software can mark the specific appointment as PNS on their desktop Pro or the Pro app.

PNS can be marked only within 5 days following the scheduled appointment.

Verifying PNS from patients

Whenever a doctor/clinic marks PNS, patients are sent an SMS and email to verify this claim and understand the reason behind the missed appointment.

Patients should respond in next 7 days after receiving the SMS/email, with the reason.

Actions taken on repeat patient no-show

Every PNS captured on Redheal is dealt with seriousness based on past patient behavior. This is done in order to ensure patients understand the importance of a doctor’s time and not misuse the convenience provided by Redheal. Our PNS Policy aims at minimizing instances of uninformed missed appointments, thereby making most of a doctor’s valuable time.

• 1.Repeat PNS actions are taken ONLY for patients who schedule appointments using ‘Book Appointment’ feature on Redheal.
• 2.At the third valid instance of PNS in last 12 months, patient’s account will be temporarily disabled from booking further online appointments on Redheal.com for next 4 months. However, the user can continue to call the clinic via Redheal.com to get an appointment.
