Payments
Appointment Booking
By requesting, booking, confirming an appointment, and/or having an appointment confirmed, you agree to:
- Pay in full for your appointment before your appointment begins
- Have a Credit Card Authorization form with a valid credit card or form of payment on file with us
- Be charged in full for your appointment or appointment subscription up to four weeks before your appointment or appointment subscription begins
- Not be refunded or reimbursed for any portion of the payment for your appointment or any associated pharmacy partner orders for any reason.
Pharmacy Partner Orders
We work with reputable pharmacy partners to help lower the cost of certain medications for our patients.
If we pay for the initial cost of a patient's order (including any applicable costs or fees) at a pharmacy partner of ours:
- The patient or patient's responsible party agrees to be charged for all aspects related to the order, including medications, medical supplies, products, shipping and handling, and any applicable costs or fees
- The patient or patient's responsible party must pay us directly for all aspects of the order in full within 24 hours (1 calendar day) of us sending the associated prescription and/or order to the pharmacy partner with a valid form of payment, or we will cancel the order
- We will not change, cancel, or refund the order or any applicable costs or fees on behalf of patient or patient's responsible party after we have submitted the prescription and/or order to any pharmacy partners.
If the patient or patient's responsible party changes or cancels the order 24 hours (1 calendar day) or more after the order was submitted, we will not provide a refund for the order or any applicable costs or fees.
We are not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged, delayed, substituted, incorrect, or ineffective goods sent by a pharmacy partner or any third parties, and will not reimburse or replace them. If you encounter an issue with an order from a pharmacy partner of ours, you must contact them directly to resolve the issue. We are unable to resolve issues related to medication preparation and filling, fulfillment, packaging, shipment, delivery, medication, and/or government regulation that involve a pharmacy partner.
Credit Card Usage, Charges, and Payment Processing
We accept U.S.-issued credit and debit cards only. Payments and purchases are processed through third-party vendors.
In order to secure your timeslot for your upcoming appointment(s), you agree to have your payment card charged for the full cost of your appointment up to several weeks before your next appointment, appointment package (bundled appointments), and/or subscription begins.
We reserve the right to charge a patient or patient's responsible party using the credit card(s) on file for any funds or payments owed. If we are unable to successfully charge credit card(s) for the full amount of funds or payments owed, then we will bill the patient or patient's responsible party, and the funds or payments owed are due within 24 hours of the bill being sent.
Users must refrain from initiating a payment on their own, whether online, through the Patient Portal, or by other means, unless we provide an expressly written agreement or approval of such payment in advance. We are unable to refund payments that are initiated by users, but if such payment was made by or on behalf of an established, active patient, we will treat the funds received as an account credit for the intended established patient: we will apply any funds received in full towards the established patient's future appointments, orders, charges, and/or fees. If a user is not an established, active patient but has initiated a payment that was not agreed upon or approved in advance, we are unable to refund the payment, and will not provide account credit for a user.
Order Acceptance
By submitting your payment, you agree to all payment processing standards and charges.
Payment Disputes
If you do not agree with a payment charge, you must send a charge dispute (payment dispute) to us within 24 hours of the initial charge, invoice, or request for payment. Any charge disputes made 24 hours or more after a charge was made, invoice was sent, or payment was requested will not be valid. If a patient or patient's responsible party has successfully made a charge dispute, we reserve the right to subtract all processing fees associated with the charge(s) from the amount refunded.
Payment disputes for appointments that were already scheduled and/or confirmed for a patient, and/or for orders that we have already submitted to pharmacy partners are not valid, and we will not refund any portion of disputed payments.
In the event a charge dispute has been made but was unsuccessful, the patient or patient's responsible party will owe the full amount of any fees for the charge dispute including any associated processing fees, due immediately (within 24 hours) and to be paid to Dr. Michael Chan MD, MS, RST, Inc.
We are not responsible for payment charges made to you by third parties including pharmacy partners and other companies.
Late Payments
Unpaid balances, including payments that are made after an appointment is completed, and payments that are made more than 48 hours after a pharmacy order has been billed to you, are subject to a $5 flat fee plus 2% compound interest per day.
The following enables us to ensure timely care for our patients: If you have an upcoming appointment with us, you grant us with automatic and irrevocable permission to charge your card a minimum of 1 week before your appointment. As long as you have an upcoming appointment with us, any requests or demands you make to not charge your card without your permission are null and void. If you have requested that we do not charge your card without your permission and we are unable to charge your card a minimum of 1 week before your upcoming appointment for any reason, you are subject to an additional service fee of $50.
Debt Collection
If you do not provide full payment within 30 days of an original invoice or attempted charge for appointment(s), order(s), and/or any other fees, we reserve the right to send your bill to a debt collection agency, and to charge any additional fees for processing, legal fees, and/or any other associated administrative fees we deem appropriate.
Account Credits
If a patient or patient's responsible party decides to close their account with us, we will not refund or return any account credits associated with the patient's account.
Any account credit that exists on a patient's account will be applied to the patient's next visit(s), subscription(s), and/or pharmacy partner order(s) by default.
If a patient or patient's responsible party is not intending to close their account with us but would like for any portion of their account credit to be returned or refunded, we will subtract any processing fees and associated charges from the amount refunded or returned.
Refund Timing
If a patient or patient's responsible party is to receive a refund or other monetary payment from our practice, they agree to allow for a minimum of 60 days to have the funds processed and sent to the recipient, excluding any time required by financial institutions, payment processors, and/or intermediary parties to process, display, and/or make available the refund or payment to the recipient.

Virtual Appointment Requirements
At the time of your scheduled appointment, please dial into your appointment by clicking the link here.
Our virtual appointments require patients to communicate using video and/or voice calling over the Internet. Patients must be on reasonably fast Internet connections during the entire duration of their appointments. If your healthcare provider is unable to hear and/or see you, please use a faster Internet connection, or use another device to dial in to your appointment link. If you are not able to use a sufficient unable to hear and/or see you after a reasonable attempt, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you get disconnected from your virtual appointment before it has concluded, we require that you attempt to dial back into your appointment immediately. If you do not successfully join and continue your appointment within five minutes of getting disconnected, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you get disconnected from your appointment more than two times during the course of your appointment, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If your healthcare provider gets disconnected from your virtual appointment before it has concluded, please remain in the appointment link until your healthcare provider dials back in. You are required to follow any instructions that we communicate with you regarding accessing your virtual appointment. If your healthcare provider is unable to reconnect to your virtual appointment, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Appointment Timing
We expect patients to be on time for their appointments, so that we can serve all of our patients. If you do not attend your appointment within 10 minutes of your scheduled appointment time, your appointment will be considered a missed appointment.
Although expected to be infrequent, your provider may be late to your appointment by up to 1 hour due to busy patient schedules. If your provider is unable to conduct your appointment for any reason, we will reschedule your appointment.
If the duration of your appointment exceeds the original amount of time allocated for it by 1 minute or more, your healthcare provider may not be able to continue the appointment. If your healthcare provider agrees to extend the duration of your appointment by 1 minute or more, you may be subject to an additional fee that we determine.
One Patient Per Appointment
We serve a maximum of one patient per appointment. If you need appointments for more than one person, please book separate appointments for each person. If more than one patient is served during an appointment that was scheduled for one person, we reserve the right to charge you accordingly, for multiple appointments.
Multiple Services in One Appointment
We can accommodate multiple medical needs (appointment reasons) in the duration of one appointment, but we have the right to charge for each service provided separately. You agree to be charged separately for different visit types during the same visit if we deem it applicable - for example, ADHD and Weight Loss each incur separate charges.
If you want us to address multiple medical needs for you, please have them addressed during the same appointment instead of booking multiple separate appointments.
Appointment Rescheduling
You may reschedule appointments by messaging your healthcare provider a minimum of 48 hours before your next appointment. Appointments outside of this timeframe cannot be rescheduled.
In the event that we need to reschedule your appointment for a reason not related to your care, you will be notified of your new appointment date and time. We will aim to reschedule appointments during your healthcare provider's soonest available timeslot, or at a time we determine is best. If you are unable to make it to the appointment time we rescheduled for you, please notify us as soon as possible.
Patient Information
We reserve the right to cancel appointments if patient information is not accurate or has been misrepresented. We will not provide a refund in this case.
Prescription Practices
Patients are solely and entirely responsible for picking up, ordering, paying for, administering, and taking the medication(s) and prescription(s) sent to a pharmacy by their healthcare provider.
Patients who are unable or unwilling to pick up, order, pay for, receive, and/or administer or take their prescription(s) that were submitted by their healthcare provider will not receive a refund for any part of their appointment(s), subscription(s), prescription(s), medication(s), and/or order(s).
If you believe that your healthcare provider has not submitted a prescription for you that they promised to, or that your provider submitted your prescription information incorrectly, you have 48 hours to notify your provider, and/or the Company. If your provider and/or the Company deem it appropriate to, we will make a best effort to correct or submit the prescription, but we do not guarantee any results.
We are not responsible for incomplete or incorrect prescription fills by your pharmacy. If your pharmacy does not fill a prescription we submitted to them in part or in whole, if it has filled your prescription incorrectly, or if it has otherwise given you or sold you a medication that we did not prescribe, we are not responsible.
Medication Availability
If your medication is not available to you, or if you otherwise do not receive your medication, we will not provide a refund for your appointment. If you need to transfer your prescription to a different pharmacy than what you previously confirmed with us, please contact your original pharmacy directly. We are not obligated to transfer your medication(s) and/or prescription(s) to a different pharmacy.
Virtual Appointment Requirements
At the time of your scheduled appointment, please dial into your appointment by clicking the link here.
Our virtual appointments require patients to communicate using video and/or voice calling over the Internet. Patients must be on reasonably fast Internet connections during the entire duration of their appointments. If your healthcare provider is unable to hear and/or see you, please use a faster Internet connection, or use another device to dial in to your appointment link. If you are not able to use a sufficient unable to hear and/or see you after a reasonable attempt, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you get disconnected from your virtual appointment before it has concluded, we require that you attempt to dial back into your appointment immediately. If you do not successfully join and continue your appointment within five minutes of getting disconnected, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment. If you get disconnected from your appointment more than two times during the course of your appointment, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If your healthcare provider gets disconnected from your virtual appointment before it has concluded, please remain in the appointment link until your healthcare provider dials back in. You are required to follow any instructions that we communicate with you regarding accessing your virtual appointment. If your healthcare provider is unable to reconnect to your virtual appointment, we may cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Appointment Timing
We expect patients to be on time for their appointments, so that we can serve all of our patients. If you do not attend your appointment within 10 minutes of your scheduled appointment time, your appointment will be considered a missed appointment.
Although expected to be infrequent, your provider may be late to your appointment by up to 1 hour due to busy patient schedules. If your provider is unable to conduct your appointment for any reason, we will reschedule your appointment.
If the duration of your appointment exceeds the original amount of time allocated for it by 1 minute or more, your healthcare provider may not be able to continue the appointment. If your healthcare provider agrees to extend the duration of your appointment by 1 minute or more, you may be subject to an additional fee that we determine.
One Patient Per Appointment
We serve a maximum of one patient per appointment. If you need appointments for more than one person, please book separate appointments for each person. If more than one patient is served during an appointment that was scheduled for one person, we reserve the right to charge you accordingly, for multiple appointments.
Multiple Services in One Appointment
We can accommodate multiple medical needs (appointment reasons) in the duration of one appointment, but we have the right to charge for each service provided separately. You agree to be charged separately for different visit types during the same visit if we deem it applicable - for example, ADHD and Weight Loss each incur separate charges.
If you want us to address multiple medical needs for you, please have them addressed during the same appointment instead of booking multiple separate appointments.
Appointment Rescheduling
You may reschedule appointments by messaging your healthcare provider a minimum of 48 hours before your next appointment. Appointments outside of this timeframe cannot be rescheduled.
In the event that we need to reschedule your appointment for a reason not related to your care, you will be notified of your new appointment date and time. We will aim to reschedule appointments during your healthcare provider's soonest available timeslot, or at a time we determine is best. If you are unable to make it to the appointment time we rescheduled for you, please notify us as soon as possible.
Patient Information
We reserve the right to cancel appointments if patient information is not accurate or has been misrepresented. We will not provide a refund in this case.
Prescription Practices
Patients are solely and entirely responsible for picking up, ordering, paying for, administering, and taking the medication(s) and prescription(s) sent to a pharmacy by their healthcare provider.
Patients who are unable or unwilling to pick up, order, pay for, receive, and/or administer or take their prescription(s) that were submitted by their healthcare provider will not receive a refund for any part of their appointment(s), subscription(s), prescription(s), medication(s), and/or order(s).
If you believe that your healthcare provider has not submitted a prescription for you that they promised to, or that your provider submitted your prescription information incorrectly, you have 48 hours to notify your provider, and/or the Company. If your provider and/or the Company deem it appropriate to, we will make a best effort to correct or submit the prescription, but we do not guarantee any results.
We are not responsible for incomplete or incorrect prescription fills by your pharmacy. If your pharmacy does not fill a prescription we submitted to them in part or in whole, if it has filled your prescription incorrectly, or if it has otherwise given you or sold you a medication that we did not prescribe, we are not responsible.
Medication Availability
If your medication is not available to you, or if you otherwise do not receive your medication, we will not provide a refund for your appointment. If you need to transfer your prescription to a different pharmacy than what you previously confirmed with us, please contact your original pharmacy directly. We are not obligated to transfer your medication(s) and/or prescription(s) to a different pharmacy.
