I understand the above information is necessary to provide me with surgical/medical care in a safe and efficient manner. I have answered all questions to the best of my knowledge. Should further information be needed, you have my permission to ask the respective health care provider or agency, who may release such information to you. I will notify the doctor of any change in my health or medications.

I have received a copy of this privacy notice and I both understand and agree to the terms. (Policy can be found in our online forms section).
Dear Patient
There are many different kinds of health insurance, each of which has its own set of requirements for referrals. While we are happy to help you understand the details of your policy, it is ultimately a patient’s responsibility to know whether or not they need to have a referral. If you do not have a referral for your visit, your insurance company may not pay for the services billed, and the payment will become your responsibility. Please make sure that you have a proper and up to date referral if your insurance plan requires one.
Separately, in some cases, your provider may recommend that you undergo an endoscopy during your office visit as a means to better visualize the nose, sinus, and/or throat areas. Your provider will ask for your permission (consent) prior to performing an endoscopy, and will also ask for your permission to suction the nose if needed, and to take a culture if there is drainage that looks like infection. Endoscopy is a separate procedure, it is not included in the price of the office visit and is billed to your insurance company separately from your office visit. To learn more, please visit our website where endoscopy information and consents are available under the “Patient Resources” tab by clicking on “Forms”.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand the statement above. It is my responsibility to make sure that I have a referral for evaluation and treatment.
