Denial appeal
A draft appeal written in the payer's language.
No-shows create a very specific genre of message: warm, clear, boundaried, and somehow not passive-aggressive. Your Assistant drafts it so you do not have to workshop punctuation while annoyed.
Ask your Assistant
Draft a follow-up message for the client who missed today's appointment. Keep the tone neutral and non-shaming, mention the missed session and next-step options, and include the practice's no-show policy only if it is available in the record.

Tone still belongs to you , especially if your first draft was going to contain the phrase 'per my previous email.'
Keep it warm, clear and boundaried: acknowledge the missed session, restate your policy without lecturing, invite them to rebook, and leave the door open to talk about what got in the way. Avoid anything that reads as passive-aggressive.
State the policy in writing at intake, remind clients before the first charge, apply it consistently, and decide in advance when you will waive it. Consistency protects the relationship more than leniency does.
The message, in the right tone, with the client's name and your policy. You review it before it goes out, so you are not workshopping punctuation while annoyed.
Neither. It drafts the message for your review. Whether to charge, waive or discuss the no-show fee is your decision, and the message reflects whichever you choose.
