I understand that I am directly and fully responsible to this office for all fees associated with chiropractic care my child receives.

The risks associated with exposure to ionization, and spinal adjustments have been explained to me to my complete satisfaction, and I have conveyed my understanding of these risks to the doctor. After careful consideration I do hereby request, and authorize imaging studies, and chiropractic adjustments, for the benefit of my minor child, for whom I have the legal right to select, and authorize health care services on behalf of.

Under the terms and conditions of my divorce, separation or other legal authorization, the consent of a spouse /former spouse or other guardian is not required. If my authority to so select and authorize this care should change in any way, I will immediately notify this office.

PATIENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY This office will provide insurance billing services for you, if you so desire, as a courtesy. Remember that you are ultimately responsible for any charges incurred in this office. It is your legal responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance, and or any other balances not paid by your insurance carrier. Your signature on this document indicates that you agree to pay for any outstanding charges incurred in this office. Patients who do not have health insurance: since we will not need to pay staff to bill and follow up with insurance companies, we pass the savings on to you. We offer EVERYONE our Time of Service rates when their accounts are paid in full on each visit. Unclaimed credits will be forfeit after 2 years. Patients with a deductible have two options:1. You can pay our regular fee schedule and we will bill insurance for you. This notifies the insurance company that your deductible should be reduced by what you pay on each visit. If and when the deductible is met, your plan will most likely switch to a co-pay status.2. You can pay our Time of Service fees, which are significantly less than our regular fees. However, you will then be responsible for submitting all services you have paid for to your insurance for reimbursement. We will not be billing on your behalf. Please pay any deductible or copay amounts at the time of service. We will strive to work out feasible payment options for anyone who is in need of care. Unless other prior written agreements have been made, any outstanding balance more than 60 days old is considered delinquent. A re-billing fee of 2 % (based on the outstanding balance, per month) will also be added to all accounts that fit this criterion. Office policy dictates that delinquent accounts may be referred to Cornerstone Credit Services for collection which may include possible blemishes on your credit record. If this happens, an administrative collection fee of 30% may be added to your account to cover our costs and you specifically authorize us to run your credit report. If your insurance denies payment for any reason, we will offer you our time of service discount (our lowest fee schedule) for any outstanding charges that are paid in full within 15 days of notice. I authorize payment of insurance benefits directly to Jones Chiropractic P.C. I also authorize the doctor to release all information necessary to communicate with personal physicians, other healthcare providers, collection agencies, and payers to secure the payment of benefits or inform them of concurrent treatment.

Informed Consent to Chiropractic Care Chiropractic Adjustment: The doctor will use his/her hands or a mechanical device in order to adjust your spinal joints. This procedure is called a spinal adjustment and is intended to reduce spinal subluxation (slight dislocation of the spinal joints). You may feel a 'click' or a 'pop' as well as a movement of the joint. Various ancillary procedures such as, support pillows, cold laser, traction or hot/cold packs may also be used. Risks: As with any health care procedure, complications are possible following a chiropractic adjustment. Fracture of bone, muscular strain, ligament strain, dislocation of joints, injury to intervertebral discs, nerves or spinal cord are all rare occurrences and generally result from some underlying weakness of the bone or surrounding tissues. Usually, there is an underlying, pre-existing vascular condition like atherosclerosis that contributes in a stroke resulting after a neck adjustment. A minority of patients may notice stiffness or soreness after the first few days of treatment. We will not accept individuals for treatment unless we feel confident that we can safely help them. Probability of Risks: The risks and complications of chiropractic care, acupuncture and massage have all been described as 'rare'. The risk of cerebrovascular injury or stroke has been estimated at one in one million to one in twenty million, and can be even further reduced by our screening procedures. The probability of adverse reaction due to ancillary procedures is also considered to be 'rare'. Risks of remaining untreated: Delay of treatment allows formation of adhesions, scar tissue and other degenerative changes. These changes can further reduce skeletal mobility and induce chronic pain cycles. It is quite probable that delay of treatment will complicate the condition and make future rehabilitation more difficult. I have had the following risks of my case explained to me. If you/and/or the individual listed below understand the above information, please sign below. This signature authorizes treatment, acknowledges Notice of Privacy Practices and also authorization to submit to insurances (if applicable). Patient or guardian understands that he/she is responsible for payment of all services. Patient Authorization: I have read or have had read to me, the explanation of care offered at this facility. I have had the opportunity to have any questions answered. I have fully evaluated the risks and benefits of undergoing treatment and hereby give my full consent to the items mentioned above. Massage clients that would like medical massage billed to your insurance please read and complete the following: You must have a valid doctor's prescription for medical massage therapy. Dr. Jones can write prescriptions for her patients whose care she feels would be augmented by medical massage. Massage prescriptions do not supersede insurance benefits and/or coverage and policy limits. You are responsible for knowing your insurance policy coverage and limits for medical massage. We would be happy to verify benefits for you if you aren't sure but this must be done and confirmed prior to scheduling your appointment. Jones Chiropractic Center will bill the charges to your insurance (primary and secondary if applicable) but you are ultimately responsible for any and all deductibles, copayments, services scheduled outside of your prescription and/or benefits and those services that are denied for any reason. All copays, deductibles and coinsurance are due at the time of service. Please be prepared for this. All appointments not given 24 hour cancellation notice will be subject to a $75 no show fee. I have read and understand the above and authorize these services and care. Please provide a card number to hold your appointment. If you are unable to make this appointment you must give 24 hours' notice or you will be charged a cancellation fee of $75
