At Cochran Family Medical Center, we understand that issues related to divorce are very difficult for the entire family. However, we will not be party to custodial, separation or financial disputes relating to individuals and/or minor children to whom services are provided. All copays, co-insurance and deductibles will be collected at the time of service.
Both parents have access to the minor child's medical records unless we are provided a copy of a court order that mandates otherwise.
We maintain that divorce, separation and custody agreements should not take precedence over the provision of medical care; such matters should remain between the individuals..

The following is our office policy when arriving late and missing appointments. If you have questions, please ask one of our front staff for clarification.
If a NEW patient appointment is missed, the account will be inhibited until someone can explain our no show policy. If two new patient appointments are missed, the patient will not be allowed to come to our practice.
We attempt to confirm appointments, but for various reasons we are not always successful in reaching someone. It is your responsibility to arrive for your appointments on time, even if a call is not made. If you are 10 minutes late for your appointment you may have to be rescheduled to a later time or date.
When two appointments are missed (no-shows), you may receive a letter stating the policy again. A third missed appointment (no-show) is grounds for dismissal from our practice. If you cannot make an appointment, please call.
