Attendance, Data Compliance
& Right to Decline Policy
This document governs every patient engagement at Dripdok. Acceptance of a consultation booking constitutes full acknowledgement of these terms. There are no exceptions.
Why This Policy Exists
Dripdok operates a two-consultation-per-day model. Each slot represents not only Dr. Close’s direct clinical time, but the compounding laboratory resources, pre-prepared sterile preparations, and operational infrastructure required to deliver a standard of care that does not exist elsewhere in Southeast Asia. This policy exists because clinical excellence and patient safety are incompatible with disorganisation, data gaps, or disrespect for scheduled time. It is not punitive — it is protective of every patient who takes their health seriously.
Pre-Consultation Data Requirements
The Dripdok four-engine assessment (BCE · RVI · BCC · WIM) requires a complete, correctly formatted data submission prior to the consultation. The consult does not begin until all three data gates are satisfied.
Late Arrival & Attendance
The definition of ‘on time’ is connection to the call within 60 seconds of the scheduled start. Technical difficulties notified to Angelo via WhatsApp before the scheduled start are treated as a grace case at Dr. Close’s sole discretion. Technical difficulties reported after the scheduled start are treated as late arrival.
| Late by | Consequence | Rebooking |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 10 minutes | Consult proceeds. Time is not recovered. The assessment is compressed accordingly — no extensions. | Not applicable |
| 11 – 20 minutes | Consult cancelled at Dr. Close’s discretion. Late Cancellation Fee applies. | Waitlist only. No priority rebooking. |
| 21+ minutes / No Contact | Classified as No Show. Full No Show Fee applies. Slot permanently forfeited. | New intake required. No carryover of prior data or priority. |
Cancellation & No Show Fee Schedule
Fees are invoiced via Stripe within 24 hours and are payable within 48 hours. Unpaid fees result in immediate suspension of services. No protocol, no prescription, no follow-up communication is provided until outstanding fees are cleared in full.
| Notice Given | Classification | Fee | Rebooking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48+ hours prior | Standard Cancellation | No charge | Full priority — next available slot |
| 24 – 48 hours prior | Late Cancellation | USD 150 | Standard waitlist |
| < 24 hours prior | Short-Notice Cancellation | USD 250 | Waitlist only. Second occurrence triggers review. |
| No contact at start | No Show | USD 350 | New full intake required. At Dr. Close’s sole discretion. |
| 2+ in 6 months | Chronic Non-Compliance | Accumulated + Decline | Services suspended |
Zero Tolerance: Incomplete Data & Non-Responsive Patients
Dripdok does not chase patients for data, documents, or responses. This is a firm operational position. Incomplete data is not a minor inconvenience — it is a patient safety risk that compromises the integrity of the four-engine assessment and every clinical decision derived from it.
Automatic escalation triggers (any single occurrence):
- Submitting fabricated, altered, or third-party blood panel results
- Providing incorrect medical history that materially affects clinical decisions
- Consistently submitting data in non-specified formats after correction
- Failing to respond to Angelo within 24 hours of a protocol-relevant query
- Misrepresenting current medications, supplements, or recreational substances
- Sharing or distributing Dripdok protocols, pricing, or compounding details externally
Dripdok’s Unconditional Right to Decline or Discontinue Services
Dripdok reserves the absolute right to decline an initial consultation, discontinue an active protocol, or permanently close a patient relationship at any time, with or without stated cause. This right exists independently of any fee paid, protocol started, or prior relationship established. It is exercised solely at Dr. Close’s clinical and operational discretion and is not subject to negotiation, appeal, or external review.
It applies equally to prospective patients, active patients, and former patients seeking re-entry.
Non-exhaustive grounds for exercising this right
Where clinical records are relevant to the patient’s ongoing care, a summary will be provided to a nominated treating physician upon written request. This does not constitute an obligation to continue care or to re-engage the patient in any capacity.
Patient Acknowledgement
Acceptance of a Dripdok consultation booking — whether via WhatsApp confirmation, payment of any fee, or submission of intake data — constitutes full acknowledgement and acceptance of this policy in its entirety. No separate signature is required. Patients who do not accept these terms are respectfully directed to seek care through an alternative provider.
For digital acknowledgement, reply to your booking confirmation WhatsApp with “I have read and accept the Dripdok policy” — this constitutes your binding acknowledgement and will be logged in your CarePatron record by Angelo.
