Authorization to bill insurance: I authorize the provider to bill the above insurance and to release necessary information for payment and coordination of care.

Medical & Behavioral History

ABA Services: Description & Authorization

I authorize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to be provided to the patient named above. Services may include functional behavior assessment, development of behavior intervention plans, direct therapy (including discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, and social skills training), caregiver training, data collection, team meetings, and progress reporting.

Risks, Benefits, and Alternatives

Benefits: ABA therapy is intended to increase skill acquisition, reduce interfering behaviors, and support functional independence. Results cannot be guaranteed and vary by individual.

Risks: Potential risks may include frustration, temporary increases in problem behavior when interventions alter reinforcement contingencies, or emotional discomfort during learning. Techniques used will be the least restrictive necessary and consistent with professional standards.

Alternatives: Alternatives to ABA services include behavioral consultative services, other therapeutic modalities, or no intervention. Choice of alternatives will not affect access to other services, subject to payer rules.

I acknowledge that the risks, benefits, and alternatives described above were explained to me and that I have had the opportunity to ask questions.

Recording, Observation & Communication

Audio/Video Recording: Recordings may be used for clinical documentation, supervision, training, and treatment planning. Recordings will be stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel.

I authorize audio and video recording for clinical, training, and supervisory purposes.

Exchange of Information: I authorize exchange of relevant health and education records between the provider, treating physicians, school personnel, and payers when necessary to coordinate care and process claims.

Billing, Assignment of Benefits & Financial Responsibility

Assignment of Benefits: By signing this form I authorize payment of insurance benefits to the provider and assign benefits directly to the provider for covered services. I understand I am financially responsible for co-payments, deductibles, non-covered services, and charges denied by my insurer.

I authorize assignment of insurance benefits to the provider.

Emergency Treatment & Safety

In the event of a medical emergency during services, I authorize the provider to obtain emergency medical treatment for the patient, including transport to an appropriate medical facility, and to notify the emergency contact listed above. I agree to be responsible for any medical expenses incurred as a result of emergency treatment.

I consent to emergency medical treatment as described above.

Cancellation & Termination

Cancellation Policy: The provider's cancellation and no-show policies apply. Repeated cancellations or failure to attend scheduled sessions may result in modification or termination of services after reasonable notice.

Revocation of Consent: I may revoke this consent at any time in writing, except to the extent that actions have already been taken in reliance on this consent. Revocation does not affect prior disclosures made in reliance on the authorization.

Voluntary Consent: I understand that participation in ABA services is voluntary. By signing below, I authorize the provision of ABA services as described above, agree to the terms of billing and release of information, and confirm that I am the patient or authorized legal guardian to sign for the patient.
