It is your responsibility to inform our office if you are receiving Home Health services so that we can
make the appropriate financial arrangements for your treatment. Failure to do so could result in
you being responsible for all treatment costs. As a Medicare beneficiary, you are subject to possible
payment liability if you obtain services from anyone other than your primary HHA.
_____________ (initial)
Most private insurance carriers will only pay for one physical therapy provider per day. If you are
in treatment with other physical therapy providers, it is your responsibility to schedule on non-
concurrent days. _____________(initial)
Have you received any other therapy services in the current calendar year? Yes No
Financial Policy:
Thank you for choosing us as your physical therapy provider. We are committed to your treatment being
successful. Please understand that payment on your bill is considered a part of your treatment. The
following is a statement of our Financial Policy, which we require you to read and sign prior to any
treatment.
Insurance Patients: Your health insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company; we are
not a party to this contract. Patients are responsible for understanding their health insurance coverage and
benefits. If you have provided all necessary insurance information to our office, then we will bill your
insurance company as a courtesy. However, you are financially responsible for any charges not covered by
your insurance plan. Actual patient responsibility can only be determined once your insurance company
has processed a claim. If you have further financial obligation than what we collected in the office, you
will receive a statement from our billing company. We require your co-payment to be paid at the time of
service. We accept cash, debit/credit cards, and personal checks.
Self-Pay Patients: You are required to sign a self-pay agreement letter. You are responsible for
payment of services at each visit. Please speak with the office manager for available payment options.
I have read the Financial Policy. I understand and agree to the Financial Policy

I agree to pay to ALTP any allowable balance (for example, copays, deductibles, coinsurance)
accrued for professional services over and above the insurance payment.
ALTP agrees to assist the patient in obtaining maximum benefits from his/her insurance
company. However, ALTP is not obligated to withhold statements or to wait for insurance
payment on a patient account before receiving payment for our services.
ALTP reserves the right to utilize a collection agency in collecting on delinquent accounts. If a
collection service is utilized, I understand that I am responsible for any and all costs incurrent in
the collecting of my balance. This includes, but may not be limited to, attorney fees and a
collection fee of 30%. Any check that is returned for insufficient funds will result in a charge of
$25.00 for each occurrence.
I have been provided with an opportunity to review this documentation, and this is shown
through my signing of this consent/authorization.

At Arkansas Lymphedema and Therapy Providers we strive to give every client an exceptional
and individualized experience. Our clients are seen one-on-one by a Lymphedema therapist. We
make every effort to stay on time and see you at your appointed times. We also make every
effort, as cancellations arise, to schedule clients who may be having serious complications due to
their edema. In order for us to provide optimal care to those who are currently being treated and
those who are awaiting treatment, we ask three things of you:
1) Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. This will allow for
the preparation time needed prior to your treatment. If work or other scheduling
conflicts make this difficult, please notify your therapist.
3) If you become ill the day of your scheduled appointment, please call to cancel before
your appointment time. If you do not call and do not show for an accumulative of
three scheduled appointment, action will have to be taken.
a. Verbal counsel with your therapist will be performed discussing the need
for compliance.
b. If a fourth No Call/No Show occurs you will be removed from the
schedule, your physician will be contacted, and a new referral will be
required to return for continued therapy.
We understand that no one can predict what is dealt to us from day to day, but we ask that you
help us to make this experience a positive one for you, other patients, and our staff. We are very
excited to have you here and look forward to helping you in every way possible.
