Consent to Treat, Fees, and HIPAA Information


Please read this entire document prior to signing it. It is important that you understand the information contained in this document. Please ask questions before you sign if there is anything that is unclear.

Professional Services and Release of Information. I voluntarily hereby authorize the doctor and whomever he may designate as his assistants to administer treatment, physical examination, X-ray studies, laboratory procedures, chiropractic care, medical care, or any clinic services that he/she deems necessary in my case; and I further authorize him/her to disclose all or any part of my (patient's) record to any person or corporation which is or may be liable under a contract to the clinic or to the patient or to a family member or employer of the patient for all or part of the clinic's charge, including, and not limited to, hospital or medical services complaints, insurance companies, worker compensation carriers, welfare funds, or the patient's employer. If you would like to have a more detailed account of our policies and procedures concerning the privacy of your Patient Health Information, we encourage you to read the HIPAA NOTICE that is available to you at the front desk before signing this consent.

Insurance Payment Authorization & Agreement. I authorize payment of insurance benefits directly to this clinic or doctors. I understand that I am responsible for all costs of healthcare services, regardless of insurance coverage. I also understand that if I suspend or terminate my schedule of care as determined by my treating doctor, any fees for professional services will be immediately due and payable. If your insurance policy is not presented to us at the time of service, you have 30 days to submit it to our office. If your insurance policy, that is effective at the time of service, is not given to our office within 30 days from your date of service, we will not bill your insurance company and you will be responsible for all the charges from your care. If you have more than one insurance policy, please makes sure to give our staff ALL effective insurance cards. If you have a Medicaid and a primary insurance, please make sure we receive both cards to have your claims processed properly by both insurance companies.

Timely Payment and Fee Agreement. Fees are payable at the time examination, X-rays, or any other treatments are received, unless other arrangements are made in advance. I understand the above information and guarantee this form was completed correctly to the best of my knowledge and understand it is my responsibility to inform the office of any changes to the information provided.

Consent for Treatment. As with all health services, there may be risks involved with receiving treatment in this or any other office. Please rest assured that all precautionary and indicated measures, diagnostic

tests, and relevant orthopedic testing will be performed, with your permission, to minimize this risk. By signing below you authorize treatment and acknowledge that you understand these inherent risks, with the understanding of the information offered above, and consent to allow necessary services and treatment according to the doctor's recommendations.

The nature of the manipulative therapy or adjustment. A treatment that may be used by a Doctor of Chiropractic or Physical Therapist is spinal and extremity manipulative therapy. The Doctor will use that procedure to treat you. The Doctor may use their hands or a mechanical instrument upon your body in such a way as to move your joints. That may cause an audible "pop" or "click," and you may feel a sense of movement. As a part of the analysis, examination, and treatment, you are consenting to spinal and extremity manipulative therapy, palpation, range of motion testing, orthopedic testing, basic neurological testing, muscle strength testing, postural analysis, and physiotherapy procedures.

The material risks inherent in chiropractic adjustment.
As with any healthcare procedure, there are certain complications which may arise during chiropractic manipulation and therapy. These complications include but are not limited to: fractures, disc injuries, dislocations, muscle strain, cervical myelopathy, rib strains and separations, and burns. Some types of manipulation of the neck have been associated with injuries to the arteries in the neck leading to or contributing to serious complications including stroke. Some patients will feel some stiffness and soreness following the first few days of treatment. The Doctor will make every reasonable effort during the examination to screen for contraindications to care; however, if you have a condition that would otherwise not come to the Doctor's attention, it is your responsibility to inform the Doctor.

The probability of those risks occurring. Fractures are rare occurrences and generally result from some underlying weakness of the bone which we check for during the taking of your history and during examination. Stroke and/or vertebral artery dissection caused by chiropractic manipulation of the neck has been the subject of ongoing medical research and debate. The most current research on the topic is inconclusive as to a specific incident of this complication occurring. If there is a causal relationship at all it is extremely rare and remote. Unfortunately, there is no recognized screening procedure to identify patients with neck pain who are at risk of a vertebral artery stroke. Other complications are also generally described as rare.


The availability and nature of other treatment options. Other treatment options for your condition may include: Self-administered over-the-counter analgesics and rest; Medical care and prescription drugs such as antiinflammatories, muscle relaxants and pain-killers; Physical Therapy; Hospitalization; Surgery. If you chose to use any of these other treatment options, you should be aware that there are risks and benefits of such options and you may wish to discuss these with your primary medical physician.

The risks and dangers attendant to remaining untreated. Potential risks of refusing or neglecting care may include increased pain, scar/adhesion formation, restricted motion, possible nerve damage, increased inflammation, and worsening pathology. This may complicate treatment making future recovery and rehabilitation more difficult and lengthy.


I have read or have had read to me the above explanation of the chiropractic adjustment and related treatment. I have discussed it with my treatment provider and have had my questions answered to my satisfaction. By signing below I state that I have weighed the risks involved in undergoing treatment and have decided that it is in my best interest to undergo the treatment recommended. Having been informed of the risks, I hereby give my consent to that treatment. I intend this consent form to cover the entire course of treatment for my present condition and for any future conditions for which I seek treatment.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this form.
