What is the purpose of mailing notices to patients under section 6-401?

Mailing notices to patients under section 6-401 serves the essential purpose of informing them of appointment times. This practice is critical in healthcare settings, including massage therapy, as it helps ensure that patients are adequately informed about when their appointments are scheduled. This not only facilitates better communication between providers and patients but also aids in maintaining an organized practice and reducing no-shows, which can affect the overall efficiency of service delivery. Having timely reminders about appointments also enables patients to manage their schedules effectively and ensures they receive the care they need without confusion or oversight.
