Informed Consent
Greater Seacoast Community Health (GSCH, which includes Goodwin Community Health and Families First Health Center) asks patients to understand and agree to the information in this document. More information is available in separate documents, as noted below. If you have questions, please ask our office staff.
General Consent for Outpatient Diagnosis, Care and Treatment, and Missed-Appointment Policy
- I have voluntarily come to Families First or Goodwin Community Health seeking behavioral health services.
- I give permission for providers at these practices to conduct examinations and tests, make referrals, and provide procedures and treatment needed for my diagnosis and care.
- These services may be provided in-office or by telehealth (phone or video), as agreed upon when my appointment is scheduled.
- I understand that any health treatment has potential risks and benefits and that I should discuss any concerns regarding the potential risks and benefits of any treatment with my, or my child’s behavioral health provider.
- I understand that if I am unable to come to an appointment, I must cancel at least 24 hours in advance of my scheduled time. If I miss three (3) appointments within six (6) months, I may become unable to schedule appointments in advance (but I may still request same-day appointments).
Confidentiality, Privacy and Disclosure of Health Information
- Federal and state laws ensure that communication between patients and their health care providers is confidential. In most cases we cannot and will not disclose health records to anyone outside your care team unless we have your written permission to do so. However, we are legally required to share information if: staff members suspect abuse, neglect or exploitation of a child or incapacitated adult; staff members suspect that patients might harm themselves or others; a patient makes a “serious threat of physical violence” to a person or property; a patient is impaired and unwilling to use alternatives to driving themselves; a medical emergency requires calling emergency services and/or transporting the patient to a hospital.
- GSCH is required by law to maintain the privacy of patients’ health information and to provide patients with the Notice of Privacy Practices. (Information on this notice is below
- GSCH may share information about patients, including Protected Health Information and information about alcohol and drug use, with a referring provider and/or integrated health partner with whom GSCH has a Business Associates Agreement for the continuity of patient care. (A Business Associates agreement is a signed agreement with another business or health care provider. It requires both parties to keep patients’ information confidential).
Behavioral Health Services
- The Behavioral Health providers at GSCH are part of your care team. Any information a patient provides to the mental health providers, including information about mental health and/or alcohol and drug use, is recorded in the electronic health record. Providers and support staff who are involved in any aspect of patient care, or who are required to process health information for administrative purposes, are able to access this record without authorization.
- Under New Hampshire law, minors 12 years of age or older may voluntarily submit themselves to treatment for drug dependency or other drug-related problem without the consent of a parent or guardian. Any records related to such treatment are confidential unless the minor examined or treated consents in writing.
- If either you or your child are experiencing suicidal ideation or are at risk of self-harm you may be instructed to go to nearest ER for emergency assessment and/or hospitalization.
- Patients’ insurance may be billed for visits with behavioral health counselors that are longer than 15 minutes, even if they occur as part of a medical visit. Also, patients may be responsible for copays, depending on their insurance plan.
Achieving a Strong Patient-Provider Team Partnership
We value the relationships we build with our patients. Building this partnership between you and your care team begins with mutual trust and respect.
- You can expect us to:
- treat you with courtesy and respect, in the office, on the phone and in the Patient Portal
- respect your personal, religious, and cultural beliefs
- protect your privacy and ensure your dignity
- respect your individual needs and wishes and meet them as much as we reasonably can
- work together as a team to create the best treatment plan for you
- make every effort to meet your needs in a timely way, while following our policies and procedures.
- We expect you to:
- treat all staff and visitors with courtesy and respect, in the office, on the phone and in the Patient Portal
- keep your voice low enough that only the person you are speaking with can hear. This also keeps your protected health information private
- do your best to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care team have created
- let the team know if you have trouble following that plan.
Financial Responsibility Agreement and Assignment of Benefits
- I authorize GSCH to bill and receive payment from my insurance company for services rendered.
- I understand that I am financially responsible for all charges incurred that are not covered by my or my child's insurance company, including but not limited to deductibles and co-payments.
- I authorize the release of Personal Health Information necessary to file a claim and audit with my insurance company and assign benefits to the provider or group indicated on the claim.
