1. Consent for Treatment I voluntarily consent to necessary medical evaluations, treatments, and procedures for the patient (Patient Name: ) at Columbus Children’s Healthcare CCH Pediatric Clinic P.C. (“CCH”). I understand no guarantees or assurances have been made regarding outcomes. This consent remains valid for all visits unless revoked. I retain the right to refuse treatment, and any special procedures will require additional consent. If the patient is a minor, I understand that a parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult must accompany and stay with the patient throughout the entire examination.

4. Financial Responsibility & Payment Obligations I accept full financial responsibility for all charges, including non-covered services and reference lab fees.

Failure to secure necessary pre-certifications does not exempt me from payment. Subject to federal and state law, I agree to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney fees, interest, delinquent charges, and expenses, if CCH has to take action to collect payment due to my non-payment.
5. Assignment of Benefits I assign all insurance benefits directly to CCH for services rendered. CCH may apply any overpayments to outstanding balances. This assignment is irrevocable for the current course of treatment.
