Im not a DR. but a nurse I can say most DR's dont really care unless they get paid. But like if the person does not have insurance yeah they will big time turn a pt. away, or just my experience. Most will just say go to the ER at the hospital but yeah very unethical not illegal though because its a clinic. If at the hospital its a different story 104 in a child is way to much.

Unethical behavior is malum per se, it is wrong because the normal members of society recognize it is as being morally wrong. Unlawful behavior, malum prohibitum, is wrong because those that make the laws say it is wrong. There is nothing morally wrong with speeding, but the law makes it illegal.

Is it legal for a doctor to charge a late charge on a no show appointment?

Unfortunately, it is legal for a doctor to charge someone for an appointment even if they didn't show. This is because the missed appointment takes time and money away from the firm. Time: because they have to make follow up calls and reschedule the appointment. And Money: because they could have had another patient during your missed appointment. Since it has become common for people to miss their appointments it has become more common for doctors to charge anyway. You should reschedule the appointment a few days beforehand to give them time to find another patient for the alloted time.
