Informed Consent and Clinical Policies for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
1. Acknowledgment of Specialized Care
I acknowledge that I am here for specialized care, including hormone replacement therapies for both men and women, such as testosterone replacement, bioidentical hormone therapies (estrogen, progesterone), and related hormone restoration treatments.
2. Patient Responsibilities for Medication Administration
I understand that I am responsible for safely administering the hormones and/or medications prescribed to me at home, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, or other supplements as applicable. I agree to follow the prescribed dosages and frequencies and to promptly communicate any concerns to my provider.
3. Payment and Insurance Policies
Payment: Services are paid for at the time of each visit. Monthly medication refills are managed with an option for automatic billing. Without automatic billing, it is my responsibility to contact the office for refills, which will be invoiced via email.
Insurance: Health insurance is not accepted for these services.
4. Lab Testing and Monitoring
I am responsible for obtaining initial and followup labs through the designated lab service. Lab fees are separate from monthly medication management. Regular labs are essential for monitoring safety, and medication refills may not be issued without updated labs.
5. Primary Care and Specialized Treatment Disclaimer
I certify that I am under the regular care of a primary care provider or a specialist for any other medical conditions I may have or develop. I understand that hormone replacement therapy at Revive Infusion & Injection Services is a specialized service and does not replace comprehensive primary care.
6. Liability and OffLabel Use Acknowledgment
I have reviewed the risks associated with hormone restoration and replacement therapies, including testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. I understand that these treatments may be considered offlabel and are not always FDAapproved for the specific conditions prescribed. I acknowledge that my treatment is at the provider’s discretion and agree that the anticipated benefits outweigh these risks.
7. Experimental and Anecdotal Treatment Acknowledgment
I understand that some hormone replacement treatments, including testosterone therapy and bioidentical hormone therapy with estrogen and progesterone, may be considered experimental or based on anecdotal evidence. I acknowledge that these treatments may not be deemed medically necessary by other providers or covered by insurance, and I agree to proceed with an informed understanding of these factors.
8. Medical FollowUp
If I experience side effects or become unwell, I agree to consult my primary care provider or seek urgent care. Consistent followup appointments are necessary to continue treatment safely, and Revive Infusion & Injection Services reserves the right to modify or discontinue treatment if needed.
9. Consent for Bloodwork and Evaluation
I consent to initial and followup blood work as recommended by my provider to monitor hormone levels, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and related markers. Regular testing is necessary to ensure safe and effective treatment adjustments.
10. Gender Inclusive Care
I understand that hormone replacement therapy provided by Revive Infusion & Injection Services is inclusive of both male and female hormone health needs, addressing andropause in men, perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms in women, and related hormone imbalances.
11. Informed Consent and Voluntary Treatment Request
I have been informed of the risks, benefits, and potential complications of hormone replacement therapy, including possible side effects. I understand these and consent to treatment. I voluntarily request hormone replacement therapy and other treatments at Revive Infusion & Injection Services, even if my hormone levels may be within normal ranges as per general medical guidelines.
12. Preventive Care Responsibility
I understand that Revive Infusion & Injection Services LLC is not responsible for preventive care services (e.g., prostate screenings, pap smears, colonoscopies). I will ensure that my primary care provider oversees these screenings and agree to provide results to Revive as needed for safe and effective treatment.
