I understand that my records are confidential and will not be released to outside individuals of agencies without written consent. However certain information may be released without my authorization under the following circumstances:
- In the event of a medical emergency.
- If there is evidence of child abuse, dependent or elder abuse.
- When a hazard to the public requires disclosure.
- When there is an indication that I will likely harm myself.
TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS:
I understand that telephone consultations are not covered by Medicare and other health plans. Therefore, I understand
that telephone contacts beyond appointment scheduling may result in a charge equivalent of $120.00 per hour for the duration of call.
CANCELLATIONS:
Appointments are regarded as a contract for the exclusive use of the doctor’s time. I understand that regular charges may be applied to missed appointments without 48 hour advance cancellation notice. I understand that my insurance carrier will not pay for my absence and I may be responsible for these charges.
