Statement of Financial Responsibility
Most insurance companies require an authorization for mental health coverage. The insured is generally responsible for obtaining
that authorization. FMC files insurance claims as a courtesy to clients, and will accept the assignment of insurance benefits in lieu
of payment if the insurance has been verified/authorized prior to service. Payment in full is due at the time of service if insurance
has not been verified or approved. Co-payments and payments against unsatisfied deductibles are due at this time of service unless
other arrangements have been made in advance with the provider. An EOB showing that your deductible has been met or other
statement from your insurance company should be brought to your first visit to ensure correct billing. If there is an outstanding
balance on your account, you will be notified by a statement. Statements are sent out on the first of each month and payable by the
10th of the month. A late fee of 10% will be assessed for statement balances beyond the 15th of the month. We accept payment in
the form of cash or check and effective January 1, 2008 by Visa or Mastercard. A fee of $35 will be assessed for returned checks.
Appointments are made to reserve the providers time especially for you. Cancellations require 24 hours notice. Appointments
cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or “no show” appointments will be billed at the full fee for the time reserved. Clients may
be asked to leave a credit card on file to authorize changes for late cancellations or “no shows” if necessary. Excessive cancellations
or no shows may result in termination of service by the provider with 30 days notice to the client.

Notice of Policies and Practices to Protect the Privacy of Your Health Information
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED
AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information and provide you with a description of our privacy
ractices. This notice will also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your
ealth information.
PLEASE REVIEW THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY
our health information is personal. We are committed to protecting your health information. We create a record of the care and
ervices you receive at this office. We need this record to provide you with quality care and comply with certain legal
equirements. This Notice applies to all of the records of your care generated by this office whether made by your therapist or
ne of the office's employees.
Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations
he following describes the different ways that your protected health information (PHI) may be used or disclosed by this office.
PHI" refers to information in your health record that could identify you. For clarification, we have included some examples. Not
very possible use of disclosure is specifically mentioned. However, all of the ways we are committed to use and disclose your
PHI" will fit within one of these general categories:
For Treatment. "Treatment" is when we provide, coordinate, or manage your health care and other services
related to your health care. An example of treatment would be when we consult with another health care
provider, such as your family physician or another mental health provider.
For Payment. "Payment" is when we obtain reimbursement for your healthcare. Examples of payment are
when we disclose your PHI to your health insurer to obtain reimbursement for your health care or to
determine eligibility or coverage. We may also tell your health plan insurer about a treatment you are going
to receive in order to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover or continue to cover
your treatment.
For Healthcare Operations. "Healthcare Operations" are activities that related to the performance and
operation of our practice. Examples of healthcare operations are quality assessment and improvement
activities, business-related matters such as audits and administrative services, and case management and
care coordination. We may use and disclose health information to provide you with appointment
information. This may be done with voice mail, messages, post cards, and other mailings.
Use. "Use" applies only to activities within our office such as sharing, employing, applying, utilizing,
examining, and analyzing information that identifies you.
Disclosure. “Disclosure” applies to activities outside of our office such as releasing, transferring, or
providing access to information about you to other parties.
I. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Authorization
We may use or disclose PHI for purposes outside of treatment, payment, or health care operations when your appropriate
uthorization is obtained. An “authorization” is written permission above and beyond the general consent that permits only
pecific disclosures. In those instances when we are asked for information for purposes outside of treatment, payment or health
are operations, we will obtain an authorization from you before releasing this information. We will also need to obtain an
uthorization before releasing your Psychotherapy Notes. “Psychotherapy Notes” are notes we have made about our
Family Matters Of Coastal Georgia, Inc. 912-882-6448 Fax: 912-882-6804
Family Matters of Coastal Georgia, Inc.
onversation during a private, group, joint, or family counseling session, which we have kept separate from the rest of your
medical record. These notes are given a greater degree of protection than PHI.
ou may revoke all such authorizations (of PHI or Psychotherapy Notes) at any time, provided each revocation is in writing.
ou may not revoke an authorization to the extent that (1) we have relied on that authorization; or (2) if the authorization was
btained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage, law provides the insurer the right to contest the claim under the policy.
II. Uses and Disclosures with Neither Consent nor Authorization
We may use or disclose PHI without your consent or authorization in the following circumstances:
Child Abuse. If we have reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or neglect, we must report this suspicion to
the appropriate authorities as required by law.
Adult and Domestic Abuse. If we have reasonable cause to suspect you have been criminally abused, we
must report this suspicion to the appropriate authorities as required by law.
Health Oversight Activities. If we receive a subpoena or other lawful request from the Department of Health
or the Georgia Composite Board for Professional Counseling, we must disclose the relevant PHI pursuant to
that subpoena or lawful request.
Judicial and Administrative Proceedings. If you are involved in a court proceeding and a request is made for
information about your diagnosis and treatment or the records thereof, such information is privileged under
state law, and we will not release information without your written authorization or a court order. The
privilege does not apply when you are being evaluated by a third party or where the evaluation is court
ordered. You will be informed in advance if this is the case.
Lawsuits and Disputes: If you are involved in a lawsuit or a dispute, we may use your PHI to defend the
office or to respond to a court order.
Law Enforcement. We may release PHI about you if required by law when asked to do so by a law
enforcement official.
Serious Threat to Health or Safety. If you communicate to us a threat of physical violence against a
reasonably identifiable third person and you have the apparent intent and ability to carry out that threat in
the foreseeable future, we may disclose relevant PHI and take the reasonable steps permitted by law to
prevent the threatened harm from occurring. If we believe that there is an imminent risk that you will inflict
serious physical harm on yourself, we may disclose information in order to protect you.
Worker’s Compensation. We may disclose protected health information regarding you as authorized by and
to the extent necessary to comply with laws relating to worker’s compensation or other similar programs,
