Consent for Behavioral Health Services

I, the undersigned, consent to assessment, psychotherapy, counseling, medication management, and other behavioral health services as determined by my treating clinician. I understand that treatment is voluntary, that I may withdraw consent at any time, and that withdrawal will not affect my access to other services when clinically appropriate.

I understand the nature of behavioral health treatment, common risks and benefits, alternatives (including no treatment), and the expected course of care. I acknowledge that no guarantee can be given regarding results. I authorize clinicians to consult with other clinical staff as necessary for treatment planning.

Confidentiality and Limits

Clinical information is protected by law and ordinarily will not be disclosed without my written authorization. Exceptions include: (1) duty to protect and warn if there is an imminent threat to harm self or others; (2) known or suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse or neglect; (3) court order or legal process; (4) claims involving professional liability or worker's compensation matters; and (5) information required for billing or administrative operations.

I authorize release of information necessary for billing my insurance carrier and for communication with other health care providers involved in my care unless otherwise restricted in writing. I understand that psychotherapy notes have special protections and will not be released without my explicit written authorization except as required by law.

Telehealth / Electronic Communication

I understand telehealth involves remote communication and that there are risks including technical failure, loss of confidentiality, and limitations in assessment. I consent to receive services via telehealth when offered. I consent to electronic communication (email, SMS) for appointment reminders and limited clinical correspondence, recognizing that such communications may not be fully secure.

Authorization to Release Information

I authorize the release of my protected health information to the persons or entities listed below for the purpose of coordination of care, payment, or other specified purposes. This authorization is voluntary and may be revoked in writing except to the extent that action has already been taken in reliance upon it.

Financial Agreement & Cancellation Policy

I agree to be responsible for charges for services not covered by insurance, including missed appointment or late cancellation fees as outlined by the provider. Insurance benefits are a contract between the patient and the insurer; I authorize my clinician to bill my insurance and assign benefits for services rendered. In the event of nonpayment, I agree to pay reasonable collection costs and legal fees.

Legal Notices & Patient Rights

Patients have the right to receive information about their care, to request restrictions on disclosures, to request amendment of records, and to file complaints regarding privacy practices. Requests for restriction or amendment must be submitted in writing and will be processed in accordance with applicable law and organizational policy.

I have read and understand the consents, notices, and policies contained in this form. I understand that I may request copies of any signed authorizations and that I may revoke authorizations in writing except to the extent that action has already been taken.
