Informed Consent, Financial Responsibility, and Assignment of Benefits

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WITH THE INFORMATION BELOW, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS WITH THE DOCTOR.

As with all medical or chiropractic treatments, I acknowledge and understand that there are inherent risks to receiving care including but not limited to sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, muscle pain, bruising, and stroke. Statistically, these risks are extremely rare and uncommon (1 in 1 – 5 million in the case of strokes), especially when compared to those risks related with alternative treatment options for my condition including the use of over the counter analgesics, prescription drugs, and surgery. Due to that fact, I will not hold the physician or staff responsible for those risks listed above. In addition, I understand that the risk and danger of allowing my condition to go untreated may lead to further deterioration of my condition with possible serious and/or permanent consequences to my health. I acknowledge and understand that the use of certain prescription medications (i.e. birth control pills, hormone replacement, aspirin, Coumadin), illicit drug or alcohol use, and cigarette smoking may increase these risks and inhibit proper healing. I also understand that if I am accepted as a patient, and if I receive care, that I am the ultimate responsible party on my account regardless of the actions of any 3rd party carrier (insurance company). I agree that should my account become delinquent, I will be responsible for all collection costs, including but not limited to the outstanding balance, attorney fees, court costs, collection agency fees, and interest at the rate of 18% per annum(1.5% per month). By signing below, I also agree to allow the doctor to share any and all medial reports and findings with my primary care physician, and I allow the doctor to use my name and case history in monthly newsletters and/or patient testimonial booklets. Lastly I understand that any physician at DeLand Chiropractic & Spinal Decompression cannot evaluate, examine, x-ray, diagnose, or treat me for my presenting condition without my signature below. By signing below I acknowledge that I have weighed the risks versus benefits of treatment, and I give the doctor consent to treat me for my condition.
