It is our policy to notify you of test results ordered by this office and to call you to confirm appointments. This is to acknowledge that you authorize us to:
I give the physician and office staff of Generation Health permission to discuss my medical condition with the following individuals:
ePrescribing is a physician's ability to electronically send an accurate, error free, and understandable prescription directly to a pharmacy from the practice. ePrescribing greatly reduces medication errors and enhances patient safety. Understanding all of the above, I hereby authorize the physician and/or staff of Generation Health to enroll me in the ePrescribe Program.
I authorize the physician and/or staff of Generation Health to request and obtain my prescription medication history from other healthcare providers, the pharmacy benefit manager and/or any third party pharmacy payors for treatment purposes.
I authorize the physician and/or staff of Generation Health to release to the social security administration, Health Care Financing Administration or its intermediaries or carriers any information needed for this or any Medicare claim. I permit a copy of this Authorization to be used in place of the original and request payment of medical insurance benefits either to myself or to the party who may cause Medicare payment information to cross over automatically to my supplement insurer. I understand that I am financially responsible for any services deemed non-covered by Medicare.
I authorize the physician and/or staff of Generation Health to release to my insurance company or its representative any information including the diagnosis and records of any treatment or examination rendered to me during medical or surgical care. I authorize and request my above named insurance company to pay directly to Generation Health the amount due for medical or surgical services. I understand that I am financially responsible for any services deemed non-covered by my insurance company.
I understand that I am financially responsible for services in the office and that refunds from services charged on a credit card will be returned to the same credit card. Furthermore, I also understand that any account balance that is not paid may be sent to a collection agency. Should any delinquent account balance be referred to a collection agency, I understand that I will be financially responsible for any and all cost and fees relating to the collection of my debt. I also authorize my physician and Generation Health to photograph me for medically related documentation purposes.
If a patient requires an accommodation for their appointment, the individual or his/her representative must notify Generation Health of the needed accommodation one week prior to the first new patient appointment. Subsequent appointments also require one week’s notice. Under the American with Disabilities Act, “Providers are responsible for incurring all costs of providing reasonable aid and cannot pass that charge onto the patient or to his/her insurance company.” If a patient who has requested accommodations does not provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel the appointment or does not show to the scheduled appointment, all charges incurred by Generation Health is the patient’s responsibilities.
Notice to patients: We are required to provide you with a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices which states how we may use and/or disclose your health information. Please sign this form to acknowledge receipt of the notice. You may refuse to sign the acknowledgement, if you wish. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Generation Health Notice of Privacy Practices.
