Potential Risks of Medical Treatments/Services: I am aware that all existing methods of diagnosis and treatment, including medical treatments/services, pose some level of risk. Within the general healthcare setting, the possible outcomes of these practices by a doctor range from minor to fatal.

I am aware that unforeseeable complications could occur, and that while Dr. Shlifer and his medical team will make every reasonable effort to screen for contraindications in my care, I do not expect Dr. Shlifer and his medical team to be able to anticipate and explain all potential risks and complications, and I wish to rely on Dr. Shlifer to exercise judgment in recommending the medical treatments/services that he feels at the time, based on the facts then known, are in my best interest.
I understand that in order to treat my medical condition, Dr. Shlifer’s office must be contacted promptly if an adverse reaction or condition occurs while under his care.
In any event, if an emergency medical condition arises for any reason due to a medical treatment/service from Dr. Shlifer or for any other reason, I agree to seek treatment immediately from an emergency center or to call 911.
I understand the above overview of Dr. Shlifer’s medical treatments/services and the potential risks of such treatment.
Complete Medical History: I understand that in order for Dr. Shlifer to accurately assess and treat my medical condition, I will have to disclose any pre-existing health conditions, medications, and supplements as well as keep Dr. Shlifer updated as to any changes.
I have truthfully and accurately disclosed to Dr. Shlifer all personal medical history information including but not limited to: all of my medical conditions, my use of all medications, drugs, vitamins, and other supplements of any kind, and all known allergies to drugs or other substances or any past reactions.
I understand that failure to do so may negatively affect my treatment outcome and the safety of any treatments/services I may receive. I agree to keep Dr. Shlifer updated as to any changes or alterations in my medical profile and understand that there shall be no liability on Dr. Shlifer’s part should I fail to do so.

Billing Health Insurance: If billing through health insurance, I allow Evolve Healthcare to file for insurance benefits to compensate for the care I receive.

I also understand that I must pay for the cost of these services if my insurance rejects the claim or I do not have insurance.
