PATIENT AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM

1. CONSENT FOR TREATMENT

I consent to treatment rendered by this facility which may be ordered or approved by my physician or other qualified and licensed health care provider who is responsible for my care. I agree to participate in this facility's program to the best of my ability to facilitate a rapid and full recovery.

I understand that some increase in pain may be normal. I must determine how much pain increase is acceptable to me. I may be asked to describe my pain using a Visual Analog Scale. I will not be asked to perform activities that increase my pain to a level that is unsafe or undesirable to me. I will be asked to perform activities, but will not be forced to perform any activity that I believe unsafe. I will be informed if I am seen doing anything unsafe or that jeopardizes my recovery.

I understand that medical care is not an exact science and there is no guarantee that the treatments or program provided will have a good result. I understand that the therapists and health care staff providing care and treatment will use their best judgment. I understand that I have the right and responsibility to participate in decisions affecting my treatment.

I consent to having my picture taken for objective analysis of my condition. This information will be used solely for the purpose of education of myself for my condition and to compare pre and post treatment outcomes. Any other use of this information will require my written consent.

2. APPOINTMENT REMINDER CONSENT

As a way to improve communication and prioritize convenience for patients, this facility utilizes text messaging and email to communicate appointment reminders. I understand that I am not required to authorize the use of text messaging or email in order to receive services from this facility.

If, so indicated above, I consent to receiving appointment reminders as outlined above. I understand there are risks associated with receiving communications via text message and email because these types of communications are not always secure – emails and text messages can be intercepted. I understand that I have the right to revoke this consent at any time by notifying this facility.

3. AUTHORIZATION FOR DISCLOSURE

I, a patient of this facility, give my express permission for this facility and its agents to discuss the information I have specifically indicated below with the following individuals. I understand that I am responsible for notifying this facility, in writing, of any changes to this authorization to disclose my personal health information.

4. PAYMENT AT TIME OF SERVICE POLICY

As a standard practice, this facility collects all expenses that are the responsibility of the patient at the time of service. This request for payment will include any deductible, co-pay and coinsurance amounts that apply to my visit. I understand that as a courtesy this facility will bill my insurance directly for the services I receive, but this is not a guarantee that my insurance will pay for services rendered or materials received. It is my responsibility to know my insurance benefits and coverage.

In some cases, the amount of charges is an estimate based upon information provided directly by my insurance company regarding my particular plan and eligibility and the procedures performed. However, the exact amount of all charges may not be known at the time of service as my insurance may process differently than anticipated. It is possible that additional expenses that are my responsibility may be reflected on my final statement. In such a case, the payment collected at the time of service serves as a deposit towards my final balance. Additionally, any overpayment will be promptly refunded to me after all claims have been processed by all applicable payers.

In the event that there is a past due balance on my account, it will be submitted to a collection agency, and I agree to pay all attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by this facility in the collection of my account.

I understand that if I anticipate problems paying my portion of my bill, I should let the front office know as soon as possible, so that payment alternatives may be discussed, should I qualify.

I authorize this facility and/or its agents to contact me via manual or auto-dial telephone call and/or text in order to collect any amounts I may owe, including calls and texts to my cell phone number, if I have provided that number. I also agree that any email address I have provided is my personal email address and I authorize this facility and/or its agents to contact me via that email address. I understand this facility also utilizes paperless billing as a secure way for patients to view and pay any outstanding charges and I hereby consent and agree to receive statements electronically via the email and/or cell phone number provided by me to the facility. I understand that I can opt-out of paperless billing by selecting the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email message or by texting "stop" in response to text messages. I understand that there are some risks associated with receiving communications via text message and email because these types of communications are not always secure and can be intercepted.

5. CANCELLATION / LATE ARRIVAL / NO-SHOW POLICY

Whenever possible, we ask for a minimum of 24-hours notice to cancel a scheduled appointment. We understand that emergencies arise, please call us as soon as you know you will not make an appointment.

If you do not show or cancel at the last minute for three scheduled appointments, we may not reschedule you and will notify your referring provider that you missed your appointments.

High Pointe Therapy at The Women's Hospital does our best to provide you with timely appointments.

Please arrive to your scheduled appointment on time. In order to serve our patients better, we may reschedule you if you are more than 15 minutes late to your scheduled appointment.
