Program Participation & Consent

Program Name:

I authorize the above-named program and its licensed providers, employees, contractors and agents to provide health care services, treatment, counseling, and program interventions as described in the program materials and as required for my care. I understand services may include assessments, individualized planning, medication management, and group or individual therapy where applicable.

I acknowledge that the nature, purpose, anticipated benefits and material risks of the program have been explained to me. Risks may include but are not limited to emotional distress, adverse reactions to medication, or unforeseen complications. I have had the opportunity to ask questions and have received answers to my satisfaction.

I consent to the following specific program components (check all that apply):

Alternatives, Voluntary Participation & Withdrawal

I understand that participation is voluntary. I may withdraw consent for services at any time by notifying the program in writing. Withdrawal of consent will not affect my right to other services or my eligibility for care, except where continued treatment is required by law or for safety. I understand alternative treatment options have been discussed or offered where appropriate.

HIPAA Privacy Acknowledgment & Authorization

I acknowledge receipt of the program's privacy practices and understand that my protected health information (PHI) will be used for treatment, payment, and program operations. I hereby authorize disclosure of my PHI to program staff, consulting clinicians, and to other third parties as necessary for coordination of care, treatment planning, and payment. Disclosures shall be limited to the minimum necessary information to accomplish the intended purpose.

I further authorize the program to obtain or release medical, mental health, substance use treatment, and related records to the entities identified as necessary to coordinate care, including but not limited to primary care providers and insurers.

Financial Responsibility

I accept financial responsibility for charges not covered by my insurance, including co-payments, deductible amounts, and services denied by payers. I authorize release of information necessary to process claims and understand that I may be responsible for payment if benefits are not available or are denied.

I have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding my care, the scope of services, risks and benefits, confidentiality and limits to confidentiality (including mandatory reporting and safety exceptions).

If signing on behalf of the patient, I certify that I am the legal guardian, parent, or authorized representative and that I have the legal authority to sign for the patient. I will provide documentation of authority upon request.
