What should I do if I cannot attend my scheduled appointment?

If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment with UPMC, it is important to take action as soon as possible. Typically, the recommended approach is to contact the specific UPMC facility where your appointment is scheduled. This allows them to either reschedule your appointment or possibly offer the time slot to another patient in need. UPMC encourages patients to inform them at least twenty-four hours in advance if they cannot arrive for their appointment. You may also want to check the UPMC website, as it often contains relevant information regarding scheduling policies and contact details for different facilities. Familiarizing yourself with these resources can be very helpful for managing your appointments effectively. Being proactive in communicating your situation ensures a smoother experience for both you and the healthcare providers.
