INFORMED CONSENT FORM

Patient Name: ______________________________________ Date: _______ / _______ / 20_______

TO THE PATIENT: Please read this entire document prior to signing it. It is important that you fully understand the information contained in this document. If anything is unclear, please as our office staff before you sign it.

The Nature of the Chiropractic Adjustment:The primary treatment I use as a Doctor of Chiropractic is spinal manipulative therapy. I will use that procedure to treat you. I may use my hands or a mechanical instrument upon your body in such a way as to move your joints. That may cause an audible “pop” or “click,” much as you have experienced when you “crack” your knuckles. You may feel a sense of movement.

Analysis / Examination / Treatment:As a part of the analysis, examination, and treatment, you are consenting to the following procedures:

X spinal manipulative therapy X palpation X vital signsX range of motion testing X orthopedic testing X basic neurological testX muscle strength testing X postural analysis X Electrical StimX radiographic studies X mechanical tractionX Other (* see below)

*Manual Therapy & Therapeutic Stretching

The Material Risk Inherent in a Chiropractic Adjustment: As with any healthcare procedure, there are certain complications which may arise during chiropractic manipulation and therapy. These complications include but are not limited to: fractures, disc injuries, dislocations, muscle strain, cervical myelopathy, costovertebral strains and separations, and burns. Some types of manipulation of the neck have been associated with injuries to the arteries in the neck leading to or contributing to serious complications including stroke. Some patients will feel some stiffness and soreness following the first few days of treatment. I will make every reasonable effort during the examination to screen for contraindications to care; however, if you have a condition that would otherwise not come to my attention, it is your responsibility to inform me.

The Probability of Those Risks Occurring: Fractures are rare occurrences and generally result from some underlying weakness of the bone which I check for during the taking of your history and during examination and X-ray. Stroke has been the subject of tremendous disagreement. The incidences of stroke are exceedingly rare and are estimated to occur between one in one million and one in five million cervical adjustments. The other complications are also generally described as rare.

INFORMED CONSENT FORM

The Availability and Nature of Other Treatment Options: Other treatment options for your condition may include:

• Self-administered, over-the-counter analgesics and rest

• Medical care / prescription drugs such as anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxants and pain-killers

• Hospitalization

• Surgery

If you chose to use one of the above noted “other treatment” options, you should be aware that there are risks and benefits of such options and you may wish to discuss these with your primary medical physician.

The Risks and Dangers Attendant to Remaining Untreated: Remaining untreated may allow the formation of adhesions and reduce mobility which may set up a pain reaction further reducing mobility. Over time this process may complicate treatment making it more difficult and less effective the longer it is postponed.

DO NOT SIGN UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE. PLEASE CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BLOCK AND SIGN BELOW

I have read [ ] or have had read to me [ ] the above explanation of the chiropractic adjustment and related treatment. I have discussed it with ( Dr. Denman or Staff ) and have had my questions answered to my satisfaction. By signing below I state that I have weighed the risks involved in undergoing treatment and have decided that it is in my best interest to undergo the treatment recommended. Having been informed of the risks, I hereby give my consent to that treatment.

MED-PAY BENEFITS FORM

Many patients we encounter have MED-PAY benefits included in their auto-insurance policies, and don’t even realize it. If you have Med-Pay, our office highly recommends that you use your coverage, regardless of who is at fault in the automobile accident.

Here are six [ 6 ] reasons why we recommend filing your Med-Pay:

1. Increase Your Settlement- You are more likely to obtain a much higher settlement with Med-Pay coverage.

2. Reduces Out-of-Pocket Expenses- Even if you are at fault, Med-Pay Benefits cover reasonable and necessary medical expenses, up to your limit coverage.

3. Med-Pay is Similar to Health Insurance- Using your Med-Pay does NOT cause your rates to increase.

4. Filing Your Med-Pay Doesn’t Relieve the Other Party from Having to Pay in full for Your Loss- On the contrary, by filing your Med-Pay, when you collect from the other driver’s Liability Insurance, a greater amount of the settlement will go directly to you because your bill at Lincoln Chiropractic may be paid in full.

5. Med-Pay Provides Protection- If the other driver’s Liability Insurance refuses to make payment to you for whatever reason, filing your Med-Pay will help insure that you are not stuck with all the medical bills.

6. Med-Pay is a Benefit- Filing your Med-Pay is common sense. It is a benefit option you are already paying for.

The important fact to remember is that you are not guaranteed of receiving full payment from the other driver’s Liability Insurance Company. Filing your Med-Pay will help you insure that you are not left paying the medical bills. If Lincoln Chiropractic receives an OVER-PAYMENT on your account, we will be prompt in refunding you the difference.
