Understanding the 24-Hour Policy

To help ensure all members have timely access to care, we require at least 24 hours’ notice for all appointment changes.

Late cancellations, rescheduling within 24 hours, or missed appointments will result in a penalty, such as a late cancellation fee or the loss of an employer-sponsored session, depending on your specific coverage plan.

Official Cancellation Requirements 

To avoid late cancellation and no-show penalties, your appointment must be formally cancelled or rescheduled through the platform outside of the 24-hour window. This formal cancellation can be processed by you, your provider, or our Care Team—however, simply notifying someone of your need to change or cancel the session does not officially cancel your appointment.

Sending your provider a direct message does not cancel your appointment. Providers have up to 72 hours to respond to direct messages and are not expected to monitor their inbox for time-sensitive scheduling requests. To avoid an unintentional late penalty, always follow the formal cancellation steps rather than sending a message.

What to Do If Your Provider Has No Availability

If you need to reschedule your appointment outside of the 24-hour window but your provider currently has no upcoming availability listed on their calendar, we highly encourage you to cancel your current appointment first to protect your session balance or avoid a fee. Once cancelled, you can then message your provider directly to coordinate a new day and time for your next session.

If you need help using our messaging feature for non-scheduling inquiries, please see our guide on How to Message Your Provider Between Sessions.
