Refund, Rescheduling and Appointment Cancellation Terms for Gynaecare
This Refund and Cancellation Policy explains how appointment-related cancellations,
rescheduling requests and eligible refunds are handled for services offered by
Dr. Ritu Gynaecare and Gynaecare Clinic, Lucknow.
Quick Summary
Appointment requests may be cancelled or rescheduled subject to clinic availability.
Refund eligibility depends on whether payment was collected in advance, whether the
consultation or service was already delivered, and whether cancellation was made in
a timely manner.
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to appointment booking requests, consultation fee payments,
advance payments, scheduling changes and related website-assisted enquiry or booking
communication connected to Gynaecare Clinic.
2. Appointment Cancellation by Patient
Patients may request cancellation of an appointment by contacting the clinic as
early as possible through phone or the
contact page.
Early notice helps the clinic manage schedules and offer the time slot to another patient.
Cancellation requests are considered effective only after acknowledgment by the clinic.
3. Appointment Rescheduling
Rescheduling requests may be accommodated based on doctor availability, clinic
timings and the type of consultation or procedure involved. The clinic may offer
the next available suitable slot where rescheduling is possible.
Advance Notice Is Recommended
The earlier you notify the clinic, the easier it is to cancel or
reschedule without scheduling complications.
Confirmation Depends on Clinic Availability
A requested new date or time is not confirmed until the clinic verifies and
communicates the updated appointment slot.
4. Refund Eligibility
If no advance payment has been collected, there may be no refund component involved.
Where an advance or consultation payment has been received, refund decisions depend
on the service type, timing of cancellation, administrative processing already
completed and whether the consultation or procedure has already been delivered.
Generally, completed consultations, delivered services and already-utilized
appointment slots may not be eligible for refund.
5. Situations That May Be Non-Refundable
Refunds may be declined in situations such as missed appointments without notice,
completed consultations, partially used services, already-incurred administrative
processing, or cases where fees relate to time reserved specifically for the patient.
6. Cancellation or Change by the Clinic
If the clinic needs to change, postpone or cancel an appointment due to doctor
unavailability, emergency scheduling changes or operational reasons, the clinic may
offer rescheduling, adjustment or refund review where applicable.
7. Refund Processing Time
Approved refunds, where applicable, may take a reasonable processing period
depending on the original payment mode, banking timelines and administrative review.
Processing time can vary by payment gateway, bank and transaction method.
8. Consultation, Procedure and Package Services
Some services may involve advance scheduling, case review, reports, investigations,
pre-procedure planning or package-based care. In such cases, refund and cancellation
decisions may depend on the amount of work already performed and clinic-specific
preparation completed before the appointment date.
9. Patient Responsibility
Patients should provide correct booking details, arrive on time when possible and
notify the clinic promptly if they are unable to attend. Delayed communication may
reduce rescheduling flexibility and may affect refund eligibility.
