Supplemental Informed Consent
Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. As with the transmission of any communicable disease like a cold or the flu, you may be exposed to COVID-19, also known as "Coronavirus," at any time or in any place. Be assured that we have always followed state and federal regulations and recommended universal personal protection and disinfection protocols to limit transmission of all diseases in our office and continue to do so.
Despite our careful attention to sterilization, disinfection, and use of personal barriers, there is still a chance that you could be exposed to an illness in our office, just as you might be at your gym, grocery store, or favorite restaurant. "Social Distancing" nationwide has reduced the transmission of the Coronavirus. Although we have taken measures to provide social distancing in our practice, due to the nature of the procedures we provide, it is not possible to maintain social distancing between the patient, orthodontist, orthodontic staff and sometimes other patients at all times.
Although exposure is unlikely, do you accept the risk and consent to treatment?

I authorize the dentist to release any information including the diagnosis and the records of any treatment or examinations rendered to my child during the period of such orthodontic care to third party payers and/ or health practitioners. I understand that my dental insurance carrier may pay less than the actual bill for services, and I am responsible for any benefit not paid by insurance or difference in cost due to lapse in coverage. I agree to be responsible for payment of all services rendered on my child's behalf. I understand that providing incorrect information can be dangerous to my child's health. I will not hold my orthodontist or any member of his staff responsible for any errors or omissions that I have made in the completion of this form. I will notify my orthodontist of any changes in my child's medical or dental health. I understand that the initial exam with Dr. Zuch is of no charge, and any succeeding services such as pretreatment diagnostics are rendered at additional cost. I have read/reviewed The Tooth Mover's complete HIPAA policy at http://www.mytoothmover.com.
