I understand that my doctor has prescribed therapy for me and that physical therapy is an on-going process that requires regular attendance to be optimally effective. I understand that if I am late for an appointment, I may have to reschedule my appointment or may have to accept an abbreviated treatment for that day. I understand that if I cancel or no show for three consecutive appointments, The Movement Studio has the right to discharge me from care for being non-compliant with my treatment plan. I understand and agree that The Movement Studio requires 48-hour advance notice of cancellation. If I fail to give 24-hour notice of cancellation or fail to show up for an appointment, I may be subject to a $75 charge (which is not covered by insurance).

I hereby consent to and authorize all therapy treatments, which in conjunction with the judgment of my attending physician, may be considered necessary and/or advisable for the diagnosis and/or treatment of the patient named above.

I understand and agree that insurance claim forms will be submitted to my insurance company as a matter of convenience only, and that I am personally responsible for all charges of all services provided. In the event that my insurance company denies benefits or makes a partial payment, I understand that I am responsible for the balance due. I hereby give authorization for payment of insurance benefits to be made directly to The Movement Studio for services rendered. In the event that my insurance company forwards payment directly to me, instead of The Movement Studio, I will immediately deliver said payment to The Movement Studio. I understand and agree that I am wholly responsible and liable for payment of all charges assessed for professional services rendered and will pay any sum due, upon demand. I understand and agree that if it becomes necessary for The Movement Studio to utilize an outside collection agency or to commence court action, for the collection of any outstanding charges, I will be responsible for the outstanding balance, and in addition, attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses of litigation.
