At Breslin Occupational Therapy Services, we want to help you reach your physical and occupational therapy goals. To do this, it is extremely important that you attend your appointments. We recommend you arrive at least five minutes early for your appointments. FEE FOR MISSED APPOINTMENTS We charge a $25 fee for missed appointments, including for: • Appointments you miss without giving us at least 24-hours’ notice; and • Appointments to which you are more than 15 minutes late. This fee is not billable to your insurance. You will be fully responsible for any missed appointment fees. 24-HOURS’ NOTICE FOR CANCELLATION Please contact us at least 24-hours in advance if you will not be able to attend your appointment and need to reschedule. Our schedule is very full – giving us advance notice of your cancellation helps us ensure that another patient can get the care they need. If you do not provide at least 24-hours’ notice, you will be charged a $25 for the missed appointment. If you cannot reach us on the phone, please leave us a voicemail to avoid a cancellation fee. RUNNING LATE Please call us immediately if you are running late so that we can talk to your clinician and prepare for your late arrival. If you are late for an appointment, it is taking time away from your care and recovery. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide you with your full treatment when you are late, as we have reserved the appointment time following yours for another patient. If you are 15 or more minutes late for your appointment, your appointment will be cancelled and rescheduled, and we will charge you the $25 missed appointment fee. MULTIPLE MISSED APPOINTMENTS If you have multiple same-day cancellations or missed appointments, you may be removed from the schedule. We may also notify your physician, or in the case of worker’s comp cases, claims adjuster, of your non-compliance.

I understand I have the right to informed participation in decisions involving my/my dependent’s health care. Occupational therapy services can have benefits and risks. Informed consent means being aware of both possibilities. Informed consent shall be based on clear, concise explanations of my/my dependent’s condition and all proposed treatment procedures. Benefits of occupational therapy include gaining increased independence, increased motor functioning, increased sensory regulation, and overall greater sense of well-being and health. However, since the physical response to a specific treatment can vary widely from person to person, it is not always possible to accurately predict a person’s response to a certain therapy or procedure. There is always a risk that occupational therapy assessment or treatment may cause pain or injury or may aggravate previously existing conditions. You (or your parent/guardian) have the right to ask questions about what type of treatment will be received and discuss with the clinician the potential risks and benefits of each specific recommendation. You also have the right to decline any portion of treatment at any time during the treatment sessions. I authorize my clinician at Breslin Occupational Therapy Services to examine and treat my/my dependent’s condition as they deem appropriate using occupational therapy measures and for such procedures to be performed. All possible risks and/or side effects as well as the probability of success with such procedures shall be disclosed to me by my attending clinician. I will not hold Breslin Occupational Therapy Services nor my clinician responsible for any pre-existing medically diagnosed conditions nor for any medical diagnosis. I have the right to know who is responsible for authorizing and performing and any and all treatment procedures.
