Consent to Treat

CONSENT TO TREATMENT
I hereby consent to receive and take part in the treatment provided by Dr. Michael Lewis. I understand that developing a treatment plan with this physician and regularly reviewing our work toward meeting the treatment goals is in my best interest. I agree to play an active role in this process.

I understand that no promises have been made to me as to the results of treatment or of any procedures provided by this physician. I understand that Dr. Lewis may prescribe or recommend treatments and/or therapies that are not considered standard of practice as recognized by state or federal medical guidelines and, subsequently, are likely not to be reimbursable by insurance plans. Treatment recommendations may be considered off label use of products.

I am aware that this consent is voluntary and I may stop my treatment with this physician at any time. The only thing I will still be responsible for is paying for the services I have already received.

I understand that payment for services is due, in full, at the time of service. I understand the fee structure, and accept responsibility for payment.
