They may request a bill to submit to their own insurance, health savings account or flex spending plan if applicable for possible reimbursement. Auto Accident/Personal Injury Payment: Patients involved in an automobile accident/personal injury can have claims submitted to the designated claims department. The patient will sign all liens necessary to protect our office.

The patient will be promptly reimbursed should any overpayment occur. Regardless of payment arrangements, the patient is personally responsible for the entire balance within 90 days of completion of treatment. Missed/Cancelled appointments: Patients will be charged a $25.00 fee for missed appointments or cancelling with less than 24 hours notice.

Patient/Legal Guardian Signature:____________________________________________Date:_______________ 4|Patient Name: AUTHORIZATION FOR USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION We are very concerned with protecting your privacy. While the law requires that you give us this disclosure, please understand that we have, and always will, respect the privacy of your health information. There are several circumstances in which we may have to use or disclose your health information. We may have to disclose your health information to another health care provider or a hospital if it is necessary to refer you to them for the diagnosis, assessment, or treatment of your health condition. We may have to disclose your health information and billing records to another party if they are potentially responsible for the payment of your services. We may need to use your health information within our practice for quality control or other operational purposes. We have a more complete notice that provides a detailed description of how your health information may be used or disclosed. You have the right to review that notice before you sign this consent form (§ 164.520). We reserve the right to change our privacy practices as described in that notice. Please feel free to call us at any time for a copy for our privacy notices. I agree to the HIPPA policy in place by this office. I am aware that a copy of this policy is available for me to review at any time. Patient/Legal Guardian Signature:____________________________________________Date:_______________ 5|Patient Name: CONSENT TO TREATMENT I hereby consent to chiropractic treatments, acupuncture, natural medicine, laboratory services and/or related holistic treatments and evaluations rendered to me (or my child if a minor) by all Tranquility Wellness practitioners and staff. I have not been guaranteed any success concerning the uses and effects of chiropractic, acupuncture and/or natural medicine. I understand that I am free to discontinue treatment at any time. Chiropractic Treatment is conservative non invasive treatment to the joints and soft tissues. I understand that the procedures may consist of manipulation/adjustments involving movement of the joints and soft tissues. Although spinal manipulation/adjustment is considered to be one of the safest, most effective forms of therapy for musculoskeletal problems, I am aware that there are possible risks and complications associated with these procedures as follows: Soreness: I am aware that, like exercise, it is common to experience muscle soreness in the first few treatments. Dizziness: Temporary symptoms like dizziness and nausea can occur but are relatively rare. Fractures/Joint Injury: I further understand that in isolated cases underlying physical defects, deformities or pathologies like weak bones from osteoporosis may render the patient susceptible to injury. When osteoporosis, degenerative disk, or other abnormality is detected, this office will proceed with extra caution. Stroke: Although strokes happen with some frequency in our world, strokes from chiropractic adjustments are exceedingly rare. I am aware that nerve or brain damage including stroke is reported to occur once in one million to once in ten million treatments. Once in a million is about the same chance as getting hit by lightening. Once in ten million is about the same chance as a normal dose of aspirin or Tylenol causing death. Acupuncture Treatments is a healing therapy involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points along meridians on the body. In addition to the use of needles, the scope of acupuncture includes the use of electrical, mechanical or magnetic devices to stimulate acupuncture points, moxibustion, acupressure, cupping, Gua Sha, Tui-Na (Chinese massage), Chinese herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling. Acupuncture side effects may include some pain following treatment in the insertion area, temporary aggravation of symptoms existing prior to treatment, minor bruising, slight bleeding, dizziness, infection or needle sickness (fainting). Acupuncture treatment is a complement to and not a substitute for Western medical care. Certain conditions may best be addressed in partnership with other health care providers. I understand that my acupuncture practitioner follows universally prescribed precautions to guard against the spread of infection by using only sterilized, prepackaged, disposable needles. These needles will only be used on me and are inserted according to clean procedures based on nationally prescribed standards. Natural Medicine is the use of dietary modifications, supplementation, and/or laboratory study recommendations as part of a wellness plan. I understand that disease claims made for supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or Cancer. Supplementation therapy are suggestions, therefore it is my responsibility to read all labels and warning information. Laboratory studies, such as drawing of blood samples, urine, stool, or saliva samples are for the purpose of diagnostic testing, determining cause of illness and/or monitoring of treatment progress. With blood draws, I understand that I may experience some bruising at the site where the needle entered my body and/or irritation may occur from the bandage adhesive. If I am pregnant or shall become pregnant, experience symptoms, obtain a diagnosis from another medical provider, or begin or have alterations in prescription medications per my Medical Doctor while receiving treatment at Tranquility Wellness, I will inform my Tranquility Wellness provider. I have read or have had read to me the above information. Any questions I have had regarding these procedures and policies have been answered to my satisfaction PRIOR TO MY SIGNING THE CONSENT FORM. I have made my decision voluntarily and freely.
