Deposits/Scheduling Fee | Rio Bravo Reversal

Deposits/Scheduling Fee

Starting Jan 1, 2025

When you schedule, you will pay a deposit $250 nonrefundable scheduling fee.

This scheduling fee is not refundable for any reason as it covers scheduling costs.  If you have any outstanding fees (unpaid deposits, rescheduling fees, etc) those will be added to your invoice and paid with your deposit.

Cancellations, disputes, no shows, or being unable to continue with surgery (due to medical reasons, etc ) are not valid reasons not to pay for the scheduling process you initiate.  Please do not initiate the process if you are not sure you will be able to follow through.

Rescheduling: there will be a new scheduling fee to reschedule.  If you have not paid the first fee, the new fee will be added to your original fee and possible late fees.   Every  appointment will have the same scheduling fees.

A late fee will be applied each month the fee is not paid, beginning on the first day it is past due.

For additional information please email us at appts@riobravoreversal.com

Read Carefully:

By requesting my appointment, I confirm that I have read, understood, and agree to the following terms regarding my deposit:

  • a scheduling fee (deposit) is required at the time of scheduling my appointment to cover reservation, admin fees.  This fee is due even if I cancel as it pays for the scheduling process.  The fee is nonrefundable.  A late fee will be charged on all unpaid balances.
  • if I reschedule, I will pay the scheduling fee for the first appointment and any following appointments made.
  • I will be responsible for any unpaid scheduling fees in additional to late fees.
  • my appointment is scheduled even if I have not paid the scheduling fee.
  • my payment is due upon scheduling my surgery.  If not received in 5 days, my surgery will be cancelled and 2 scheduling fees will apply in addition to late fees.

*All “fees” mentioned on this website are billed to the patient to cover actual expenses that have already been incurred by the patient and paid for by our office at the time of scheduling. We try to keep fees as minimal as possible but these are costs for scheduling services / and are the responsibility of the patient.

Your scheduling fee:

Fees are due at the time of making your appointment.

Please read the information below thoroughly for details regarding the fees  before choosing your surgery date. For questions, please feel free to email. Payment options are below.

Who must make a deposit/scheduling fee?

Everyone who makes an appointment. Fees are due at the time you make the appointment.

How will I make my deposit?

You will receive an email invoice which will allow you to use your credit or debit card to make your payment online. If you do not receive an email invoice, it may mean your email is not working. It is the patient’s responsibility to alert us if the invoice is not received.  If you have an issue just let us know, we will work with you on a resolution.

When will I make my deposit?

You will pay your scheduling fee at the time of making your appointment (5 day grace period). You must email your contact information to the office, and we will email you an invoice with directions for paying. If the fee is not received in 5 days of receiving your invoice, your date will  be automatically cancelled and rescheduling fees/late fees applied.  Invoices may go our slowly due a high volume of new patients in the first half of the year.  Your surgery date is not in jeopardy of being canceled unless you have received an invoice and it is unpaid.

How much is my fee? Does it apply to my surgery fee?

Your scheduling fee will be $250 – due when you schedule. ($250 for vasectomy reversals / 750 for cosmetics).  Card fees if applicable will be added back to the patient costs at the hospital (usually $10-45 depending on the amount sent).

The first scheduling fee is deducted from your total surgery amount, since it is already factored into the costs. The balance due will be paid at the hospital when you arrive for your surgery (cash only). If you do not bring cash for your payment, you will not be able to have surgery.

Is the fee refundable? What if I have to cancel or reschedule?

The scheduling fee is non-refundable.  If you have to cancel and reschedule you will simply pay a new scheduling fee for the new date.

Can I pay my whole surgery in advance this way?

We no longer have a payment plan or are able to take advance payments.  We can only take the scheduling fee in advance at this time and the balance due is paid in cash at the hospital.  In some cases you may be able to pay a portion of your balance due in advance, please contact the office for details.
