Pain Management Patient Care Agreement
Effective pain management requires that the patient and provider work together. This
agreement is designed to make sure that you understand your obligations and the
conditions of your care. Your care involves more than just taking pills.
To be Successful, we have found that patients must also take responsibility to be active
in their own care. We will ask you to set realistic goals and then we will work towards
those goals together.

Appointment Cancellations and “No Show” Policy
We expect that our patients will keep their appointments, which are setup with mutual
agreement. There are always several patients, who would like to be treated sooner, but
have to wait for their turn, as this clinic is very busy.
When a patient does not show up for his/her appointment or does not give adequate
cancellation notice, that time slot is wasted, which could have been utilized to take care
of other patients, especially for those who would like to get in sooner.
This clinic reserves a right to bill the patients a fee for not showing up or not giving
adequate notice for a scheduled appointment.
The “No Show” fee is $ 50 for a procedure appointment or initial consultation.
Please note that your insurance company will NOT pay this amount and you will be
personally responsible for this fee. We may NOT reschedule your appointment until this
fee is paid. Certainly, we will use discretion while implementing this policy as we realize
that true emergencies do occur.
If you are being treated under Worker’s Compensation insurance, we are also required
to notify your Work Comp Adjuster and it may affect your benefits.
I have read the above “Appointment Cancellations and “No Shows” Policy”. I
agree that FFHC Pain Clinic reserves a right to bill me for not showing up at a
scheduled appointment, or for not giving adequate notice of cancellation. I further
agree that I may not be rescheduled if I do not pay the “No-Show” charge billed to
me.
