Consent for Health Services/Treatment and Agreement of Financial Responsibility

Consent for Health Services/Treatment

By signing below, I consent for my child to receive the additional School-Based Health Services (the "Services") listed below when necessary to promote my child's health. I understand that these Services will be performed by a health provider in partnership with CMSD and that contact information for all partner health providers can be found on CMSD's website at https://www.clevelandmetroschools.org/Page/19754. I also understand that examination and treatment may be in-person or by telehealth. Treatment received using telehealth does not allow for direct contact with a patient and may be affected by transmission quality. If I no longer want my child to receive any of the Services, I may request that they be stopped, and that request will not affect my ability to obtain medical care for my child in the future.

Agreement of Financial Responsibility

Insurance or other health care coverage programs are billed whenever possible to help cover the cost of care. If applicable, I agree to provide complete, accurate, and timely information relating to any available health insurance in order for CMSD partner providers to seek payment in a timely manner. These Services are provided to students whether or not a student has insurance or the ability to pay. I give CMSD partner providers the right to submit claims for reimbursement under any private health insurance policy, Medicare, Medicaid or any other programs that I identify for which a benefit may be available to pay for Services provided to my child. I have read and understand the information about additional School-Based Health Services available through CMSD partner health providers. My signature provides consent for my child to receive the Services for as long as my child is a student in CMSD. I understand that I can revoke my consent at any time by providing a written request to CMSD.


I have reviewed and acknowledged and consent to the terms described above. I confirm that I am the patient named above (or if the patient is a minor child, the patient's parent or legal guardian named above) and I understand and agree that by checking the box below, I am electronically signing this Consent for Health Services/Treatment and Agreement of Financial Responsibility section and an electronic signature has the same effect as my written signature.

Authorization to Release Health Information and Notice of Privacy Practices Acknowledgement

Authorization to Release Health Information

I authorize CMSD partner health providers to provide my child's medical information, including diagnosis, treatment records, vaccinations, and lab results, to CMSD school officials, including SYC staff and third parties, engaged in the facilitation of CMSD's student health and wellness initiatives, for treatment, referral, and/or care coordination. I authorize CMSD and SYC to provide a copy of medical information or other relevant personal information within my child's school records to CMSD partner health providers. I agree to allow CMSD partner health providers to access my child's individual academic, attendance, and behavior records for the current and prior school years so they can provide better services to my child. I understand that my express consent (or in some cases, my child's express consent) may be required for the disclosure of certain diagnosis and treatment information relating to sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, HIV, mental illness, psychiatric treatment, and/or drug or alcohol use treatment. CMSD partner health providers may only disclose information relating to such diagnosis, testing, or treatment as directed in this authorization and as allowed under applicable law. I understand that I am not required to sign this authorization, that I do so of my own free will, and that if I refuse to sign this authorization to disclose my child’s information, it will not in any way prevent my child from receiving care or treatment from any of the providers listed. I understand that I may terminate this authorization in writing at any time, prior to the release of my child’s information, though such termination would not impact information released prior to the submission of a written termination notice. I am also aware there is potential for information disclosed under this consent to be redisclosed by the recipient and no longer be protected.

I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THIS AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE HEALTH INFORMATION AND CONSENT TO THE RELEASE OF MY CHILD'S INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.



 

Notice of Privacy Practices Acknowledgement

I have been notified that I can ask for a copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices forms for CMSD partner health providers. I know that I can also view them online at https://www.clevelandmetroschools.org/Page/19754. I understand that the terms of the Privacy Notice may change and I may get these changed notices by contacting CMSD partner health providers by phone or in writing. I understand I have the right to ask how my protected health information will be used or given out.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES AS EXPLAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. THIS AUTHORIZATION FORM WILL REMAIN VALID WHILE MY CHILD IS ENROLLED IN CMSD OR UNTIL I TERMINATE IT IN WRITING.
