    No-Show Secrets Every PT Owner Must Know

    In this podcast, Dr. Joey Allbritton shares the exact system Rehab CEOs uses to handle no-shows and cancellations without damaging patient relationships. Most clinics either charge a flat $25 fee (that doesn’t even cover costs) or avoid fees altogether—losing money every time a patient skips. Dr. Joey explains: • Why most no-show policies fail • How to calculate the true cost per visit • What to say when patients cancel last minute • Why you should waive the first fee—but enforce the second • A scheduling strategy that keeps patients compliant without overbooking • 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: how to turn no-show fees into a positive PR move This isn’t about nickel-and-diming patients. It’s about creating urgency, protecting your schedule, and keeping people on track with their plan of care. 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘀 00:00 – The truth about no-show/cancel policies 01:22 – Intake setup: card on file & clear communication 02:14 – How to calculate your real expense per visit 04:24 – Why waiving the first fee builds trust 05:22 – The 48-hour reschedule rule 06:19 – Second no-show policy: same-day scheduling 07:35 – Handling repeat offenders fairly 08:01 – Bonus tip: donating no-show fees to charity 08:54 – Why this system protects profit and reputation If you found this video helpful, be sure to like, subscribe and click the link below to book a Game Plan Call with Rehab CEOs. https://rehabceos.com/book-a-call/ We can help you build the skills, processes, and confidence needed to serve more patients and grow your practice.
