The receptionist or nurse will almost always tell the person making the appointment what their cancellation policy is -- often 24 hours in advance. If the patient doesn't call to cancel AND doesn't keep the appointment, the patient can be charged a fee (since he/she wasted the doctor's time by not keeping the appointment). This is a contract between the patient and the doctor.

Other tutors may have additional ideas for you.
