To our patients: Although oral surgeons primarily treat the area in and around your mouth, your mouth is part of your entire body. Health problems that you may have, or medications that you may be taking, could have an important interrelationship with the care that you will be receiving. Thank you for answering the following questions. Your answers are for our records only and will be considered confidential.
I certify that I have read and I understand the questions above. I acknowledge that my questions, if any, about the inquiries set forth above have been answered to my satisfaction. I will not hold my doctor, or any other member of his / her staff, responsible for any errors or omissions that I have made in the completion of this form.
The day of your appointment, if you are having surgery, there may be driving and / or eating restrictions. The office will review this information with you prior to your procedure. I acknowledge that I have read and I understand the policy above.
We make every effort to keep down the cost of your care. You can help by paying upon completion of each visit. Other arrangements can be made with our office manager depending upon special circumstances. An estimate of the charge for any procedure or surgery you may require will be given to you upon request. If you have any dental and/or medical insurance we will be glad to fill out the proper forms, but please complete the identifying information on this form.
Please remember that insurance is considered a method of reimbursing the patient for fees paid to the doctor and is not a substitute for payment. Some insurance pay fixed allowances for certain procedures and others pay a percentage of the charge. It is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance or any other balance not paid by your insurance company. You will be responsible for all collection costs, attorneys fees, and court costs.
This signature on file is my authorization for the release of information necessary to process my claim. I hereby authorize payment to this doctor named of the benefits otherwise payable to me.
I authorize my surgeon and his / her designated staff, to perform an Oral and Maxillofacial examination, for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment planning. Furthermore, I authorize the taking of all x-rays required as a necessary part of this examination. In addition, if medically necessary, I authorize the release of any information acquired in the course of my examination and treatment to my other doctors and/or insurance carriers. I permit messages to be left on my phone and / or mobile phone concerning my appointment.
