Re: Consent form for self pay traction

[Guest guest]

not sure why one would need a seaprate consent form fo this.  The initial

patient intake form that the patient signs should suffice.

Subject: Consent form for self pay traction

Hello Group,

Does anyone provide patients who have max'd insurance benefits, without

insurance, or those who want to continue with traction as a preventative

modality the opportunity to continue with traction (lumbar or cervical). We are

looking into having our tech set up these patients and are wondering if anyone

out there has a consent form they have made up for this.

You can call me or contact me off list @ christopherlindberg@....

Thanks

" traction as a preventative modality " ??? A modality to prevent what? Any

evidence to this claim?

But I guess that is for another discussion. If you are looking to avoid

liability for having your " tech " set them up I don't know that you are going to

find it, as long as you are working under PT license.

,

Maybe palliative would be a better term than preventative. We have patients

that get good relief of neck, UE, back, or LE symptoms that have max'd benefits,

huge co-pays, cash pay, etc. If they have max'd true therapy gains and are

independent with a HEP, what do you do, tell them they are done, send them to

the chiropractor who would continue traction without second thoughts, give them

an over the door traction unit???
