Consent for Mental Health Services.  I voluntarily consent for care encompassing diagnostic procedures and treatment by my physician/nurse practitioner, therapist, his/her assistant, designees or consultants, as may be necessary in the judgement of my physician/nurse practitioner.  I also understand that I will be billed direct for those services provided.  I am aware that the practice of medicine is not an exact science and I acknowledge that no guarantees have been made as to the results of treatments or examinations in this clinic.  I understand that my medical record may be maintained on a computer-based system and is available to persons involved in my care.

Communication:  I hereby authorize Life Balance, LLC to communicate with me via voice mail in the event I cannot be reached directly.

Release from Responsibility.  If I should leave the clinic against medical advice or prior to treatment being completed, I hereby relieve said physicians/ nurse practitioner, therapists and the clinic of all liability for my action.    

Guarantee.  Life Balance, LLC is a fee-for-service mental health practice that strives to provide immediate care for patients needing its' services.  I understand that I must pay for these services on the date care is rendered.  I understand that Life Balance, LLC will file my insurance under out-of-network coverage benefits I may have.
