Consent for Care & Treatment
To the Patient — Consent for Care and Treatment: You have the right, as a patient, to be informed about your condition and the recommended medical or diagnostic procedure to be used so that you may decide whether or not to undergo any suggested treatment or procedure. This consent form is an effort to obtain your permission to perform the evaluation necessary to identify the appropriate treatment and/or procedure for any identified condition(s).
This consent gives us your permission to perform reasonable and necessary medical examinations, testing, and treatment. By signing below, you indicate that (1) this consent is continuing in nature even after a specific diagnosis has been made and treatment recommended; and (2) you consent to treatment at this office or any other satellite office under common ownership. This consent remains fully effective until revoked in writing. You have the right at any time to discontinue services, and to discuss the purpose, potential risks, and benefits of any test ordered for you. If you have concerns about any test or treatment recommended, we encourage you to ask questions.
I voluntarily request a physician and/or mid-level provider (Nurse Practitioner), and other health care providers or designees as deemed necessary, to perform a reasonable and necessary medical examination, testing, and treatment for the condition which has brought me to seek care at this practice. I understand that if additional testing or invasive/interventional procedures are recommended, I will be asked to read and sign additional consent forms prior to the test(s) or procedure(s).
I certify that I have read and fully understand the above statements and consent fully and voluntarily to their contents.
