Services Provided — Scope and Limitations

The provider will render healthcare services consistent with the patient's presenting complaints and the provider's clinical judgment. Services may include assessment, diagnostic testing, treatment planning, medication management, procedures, and follow-up care. Reasonable efforts will be made to explain expected benefits and material risks, but not all risks can be exhaustively listed.

Scheduling, Cancellations, and No-Show Policy

Appointments are scheduled to maximize access and minimize wait times. Patients are expected to arrive on time. A late arrival may result in rescheduling. Cancellation with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a fee and repeated no-shows may result in discontinuation of services.

I acknowledge the scheduling and cancellation policy: I understand and accept the scheduling and cancellation policy

Financial Responsibility and Billing

You are responsible for all charges for services provided. The provider may bill your insurance as a courtesy if you provide accurate coverage information and assign benefits to the provider where required. You remain responsible for co-payments, co-insurance, deductibles, and costs not covered by insurance.

Information will be released to other providers, payers, or as required by law. You may request restrictions in writing; the provider is not required to agree to restrictions but will comply where required by law.
