The earliest reasonable (as defined by hospital staff; where a patient accepts an offer date the date is deemed reasonable) appointment or admission date offered.

Where a patient cancels an appointment or offer for admission, the earliest reasonable offer date for the rearranged appointment/admission will remain as the earliest reasonable offer date of the cancelled appointment/admission.

Where the healthcare provider cancels and rearrange an appointment/admission date, the earliest reasonable offer date for the re-arranged appointment/admission will be the date of the earliest reasonable offer made following cancellation.
