Consent for Treatment & Authorization Form
Evergreen staff looks forward to helping you reach your goals. This form requests information to better serve you. All information between provider and patient is held strictly confidential unless you authorize release of confidential information; you present physical danger to yourself or other(s); or child/elder abuse or neglect is suspected. I am required by law to inform potential victims and legal authorities so that protective measures can be taken.
I. Receipt of Required Notices: I hereby acknowledge that I have received a copy of Evergreen Youth & Family Services’ (EYS) Notice of Privacy Practices and a copy of your Additional Rights (Equal Access, Quality Treatment and Privacy, etc.).
II. Consent for treatment and use of personal health information (PHI): I acknowledge that I have consented to receive mental health and related services from the staff of EYS which will be described in full in the treatment planning process. I understand that I must consent to receive services or I will not be served. I further acknowledge that I consent that my PHI, including information regarding chemical dependency, may be used for treatment, payment, or service referrals, subject to the uses and limitations set forth in state and federal law. Any additional uses of my PHI beyond those which are provided for in state and federal law shall require my authorization.
In some instances, counseling services may be covered by grant sources but if you do have insurance, we are required to use that source first and request that you please present that information. If applicable, upon verification of health plan/insurance coverage and policy limits, your insurance carrier will be billed for you and EYS will be paid directly by the carrier. Please note that Evergreen has a policy that we will cover costs not paid by insurance companies for mental health services.
