Photography
I hereby consent to have a photograph made of me or my child (or the person for whom I am a legal guardian) to be stored in my medical record, for the purposes of identification when a legal document with photo identification is not available, or for medical reasons. I understand that this information will be used in medical records only and will be treated consistently with CFHC’s privacy practices. This authorization is voluntary and refusal to consent to photographs will not affect the care I receive at CFHC.

Financial Agreement
Your care at CFHC is a partnership between you and the staff of CFHC. We rely on fees paid by you and your insurance carrier to keep our clinics operating. We are not responsible for any charges by hospitals, other physicians, or any other services outside CFHC.
For Patient with No Insurance:
The applicant agrees to apply for any Sliding Fee Discount as recommended by CFHC staff and understands that failure to provide proof of income and complete the process will result in being responsible for 100% of the charges. The applicant agrees to pay all charges for which the applicant is responsible at the time services are rendered or make payment arrangements with CFHC. CFHC reserves the right to limit services if payment is not made. CFHC may use a third-party vendor to collect undisclosed insurance, which will be applied before any discounts or adjustments are made to the account.
For Patient with Insurance:
CFHC will bill insurance, and the patient must show current insurance information, notify CFHC of coverage changes, pay co-payment and deductible, and contact insurance for uncovered services. Patients may request not to bill insurance for a specific visit at CFHC, agreeing to pay 100% of all charges.
I agree that I have read and understand the above consent and will accept its terms.
