Who must make a
deposit?
How will I make
my deposit?
When will I make
my deposit?
-
You will make your deposit at the time of making your appointment.
The appt is not confirmed until
the deposit is received. You must email your contact
information to the office, and we will email you an invoice with directions for
paying your deposit. If the deposit is not received in 7 days after
choosing your date, that date will be cancelled and no appt will be
scheduled. Rescheduling fees apply after two non-payment
cancellations.
-
If
you are rescheduling and have a history of previous cancellations, or not shown up for a
previous appt, you will need to make your deposit BEFORE we will place you
back on the schedule. Rescheduling fees will apply.
How much is my
deposit? Does it apply to my surgery fee?
-
Your deposit will be $600 - immediately due when you
schedule.
-
The deposit
is deducted from your total surgery amount. The balance due will be
paid at the hospital when you arrive for your surgery. All funding
ministries can pay your fee online via the same methods as your deposit, but additional fees will
apply. Email for more details.
Is it refundable/transferable? What if I have to cancel or reschedule?
-
Half of your deposit is automatically non-refundable (the
other half, if not refunded, may still apply to a future surgery.
Please be sure to check with us to see if you have a credit). The remaining is refundable
under certain conditions :
-
We must receive
cancellation notice by email at least 30 days before your original surgery date. A
full
deposit is required to reschedule.
-
To transfer to a new date, 2 weeks notice is required for rescheduling.
Your new appointment should be: chosen and confirmed at the time of
rescheduling and set to take place within 60 days of your original surgery
date for your deposit to apply. If you are unable to keep the second
appointment, a refund is no longer possible.
-
You may schedule 2 surgery dates
on one deposit - after which the deposit is not refundable. All third
appointments require a rescheduling fee (*usually 1/2 the original deposit).
-
If you have
previously had excessive cancellations/reschedules even if you did not
make a deposit at the time, your new deposit may not
be refundable in any amount. If you are concerned, please
check with us for more details before making your deposit.
-
SEE guidelines below for more details. If all guidelines are followed, you
should receive up to 50% of your deposit as a refund.
How long will my
deposit hold my surgery date? Is it transferable to another date?
-
Your deposit is good
for 6 months from the date paid or the date you are placed on the
calendar, or until the date of your surgery, with some exceptions (see guidelines
above and below about rescheduling)). You may transfer your deposit to
another date if the appropriate rescheduling guidelines are met.
Rescheduling in excess, not showing up, or not canceling your
appointment 30 days in advance of your surgery you may forfeit
your deposit.
Can I pay my
whole surgery in advance this way?
- NO.
We can take deposits and additional fees in advance, but the balance due
at the hospital must
be paid in cash at the time of surgery.
