Acceptance Agreement — Palmer Clinics
The Teaching Clinics:
The Palmer Clinics are the foremost chiropractic teaching clinics in the world. Student interns, in their last
year-and-a-half of clinical education, study under some of the finest professional doctors of chiropractic in order to
further develop and enhance their skills. As a patient in the Palmer Clinics, you will be assigned to a licensed and
experienced Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) who will directly oversee your care. Your D.C., also called a “faculty
clinician,” will assign a student intern to work with your case under his/her direct supervision.
In each of these clinic settings it is probable that your chiropractic care will be observed by students in
training. Information about your case may be shared with students learning about the care process and with licensed
chiropractors overseeing your care. In some situations, your care will occur in an open environment where others can
share in this learning experience. Conversations between your faculty clinician and you regarding your health care may
be overheard by others in the vicinity of the conversation.
Statement of Understanding:
I, _____________________________________, was informed about the setting in which my care is to be performed
and, as indicated by my signature below, acknowledge my understanding that:
The Palmer Chiropractic Clinics are teaching clinics.
My personal healthcare information may be overheard by others in the clinic setting and my health care
information may be shared with others as an educational tool for learning.
The chiropractic assessment and chiropractic care provided in the Palmer Clinics may occur in an open
environment where others may observe in this learning experience.
Patient Records:
Patient records, including X-rays, are the property of Palmer Clinics. These records are only released with your written
permission or as required legally. As a teaching institution, data is occasionally gathered for research purposes. Patient
confidentiality is always maintained.
Financial Matters:
Payment is due at the time services are provided unless prior arrangements have been made. All charges will be
explained to you prior to any service being performed.
Insurance: The Clinics accept assignment for most insurance coverage and will be happy to pre-verify your
insurance coverage. You will need to provide your insurance card for this process.
Medicare/Medicaid: Palmer Chiropractic Clinics will accept assignment for Medicare/Medicaid. Patients are
Responsible for their co-payment and payment for any services not covered by Medicare/Medicaid.
Personal Injury: In most cases, Palmer Chiropractic Clinics will accept assignment for payment. If Palmer
Chiropractic Clinics accepts assignment for payment the patient is still legally responsible for their account
balance. Patients will be required to sign a lien in the case of personal injuries. In this situation, you are asked
to authorize direct payment to the clinic through your attorney or the insurance company, and permit the
endorsement of co-issued checks.
Workers’ Compensation: Work-related injury cases are accepted on assignment with permission of the
employer and prior authorization from the employer’s compensation insurance carrier.
I have read the above statements and accept these conditions.
