Health, Wellness, and BeautyScheduling & Booking4HighPatient$ explicit
Strict cancellation and rescheduling fees are applied to patients even for valid last-minute reasons like severe weather or medical emergencies, with no flexibility or reasonable exception process.
Existing scheduling systems lack flexible exception handling for emergencies (weather, medical) and offer no automated escalation to override fees; manual intervention by clinic staff is required but inconsistently applied.

- One-click switch to telehealth to avoid cancellation fees
- Real-time patient portal with fee waiver status tracking
- Clinic dashboard to monitor fee waiver usage and customize policies
