PATIENT AND CENTER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2
Approved by CPIC 6/8/16, reviewed and approved by CPIC 5/10/17, updated and approved
2/13/19
A. Human Rights
You have a right to be treated with respect regardless of race, color, marital status, religion, sex, gender,
gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental handicap or disability,
age or other grounds as applicable to federal, state and local laws or regulations.
B. Payment For Services
1. You are responsible for giving staff accurate information about your present financial status
and any changes in your financial status. The staffs need this information to decide how
much to charge you and/or so they can bill private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or other
benefits for which you may be eligible. If your income is less than the federal poverty
guidelines, we will help determine your eligibility to receive a discounted fee schedule.
2. You have a right to receive explanations of the center’s bill. You must pay, or arrange to pay,
all agreed fees for medical services, with the exception of dental services, which are
provided on a prepaid basis. For any unpaid balance you may have, please contact our
billing department for a payment plan.
3. Federal law prohibits the center from denying you primary health care services which are
medically necessary solely because you cannot pay for these services. The Family Health
Center may require a Co-Pay or a Nominal Fee from our patients. If you cannot afford this
required payment, we would be happy to assist you to determine potential eligibility for
programs that may reduce your required fee.
C. Privacy
You have a right to have your interviews, examinations and treatment in privacy. Your medical records
are also private. Only legally authorized persons may see your medical records unless you request in
writing for us to show them to, or copy them for, someone else. In certain instances, the center may be
required to report to the Texas Department of State Health Services regarding your health condition or
illness status. The Privacy and Confidentiality in Delivery of Services Policy sets forth the ways in which
your medical records may be used or disclosed by the center and the rights granted to you under the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). This document is available to you upon
request.
D. Health Care
1. You are responsible for providing the center with complete and current information about
your health or illness, so that we can give you proper health care. You have a right, and are
encouraged, to participate in decisions about your treatment.

risks and hazards (and the consequences of refusing treatment); the reasonable
alternatives, if any (and their risks and benefits); and the expected outcome, if known. This
information is called obtaining your informed consent.

instructions, making and keeping scheduled appointments, and requesting a “walk in”
appointment only when you are ill. Center professionals may not be able to see you unless
you have an appointment. If you are unable to follow instructions from the staff, please tell
them so they can help you.

permitted by applicable laws and regulations. In this regard, you have the right to be
informed of the risks, hazards, and consequences of your refusing such treatment or
procedures. Your receipt of this information is necessary so that your refusal will be
“informed.” You are responsible for the consequences and outcome of refusing
recommended treatment or procedures. If you refuse treatment or procedures that your
healthcare providers believe is in your best interest, you may be asked to sign a Refusal to
Permit Medical Treatment or Services / Against Medical Advice Release Form.
6. You have a right to health care and treatment that is reasonable for your condition and
within our capability, however, the center is not an emergency care facility. You have a right
to be transferred or referred to another facility for services that the center cannot provide.
The center does not pay for services that you receive from another healthcare provider or
any required transportation service.
E. Family Health Center Medical Home Responsibilities
1. The practice is responsible for coordinating your care across different settings.

notice that explains the reason for the decision, and you will be given thirty (30) days to find other
health care services. However, the center can decide to stop treating you immediately if you have

due by the patient after insurance paid, or 2) when the patient elects not to use
their insurance benefits and is considered as self-pay (full pay) for the specified
services.
When electing the prompt pay option, the patient is expected to pay the
remaining balance owed after the discount is applied either prior to the services
being rendered, or within 30 days of the request. NO personal checks are

charge will be required to be paid by a different payment source (no personal
check) within 10 business days of the returned check notice from the bank.
Patients will need to come to the Billing Department to make their payment. If
the payment due is not made within the 10 business days, the check will be
