Patient Intake Form

I have checked with my insurance company and verified that the provider I'm seeing is a participating provider on my insurance plan. If a referral from another provider is required before seeing the providers of James S. Linder, M.D., I agree that it is my responsibility to obtain such a referral. It is also my responsibility to advise the office in advance if precertifications are needed. If my insurance company requires the use of a specific lab, I have listed it above. If any charges remain unpaid because I have not provided the proper information itemized above or because services are not covered by my plan, I agree to be personally liable for those charges.

I authorize the physicians, and other appropriate licensed providers of James S. Linder, M.D., P.C. and their healthcare team to submit my prescriptions to my pharmacy using secure e-prescribing software. I further authorize access to my medical history, prescription history and current medications from any and all health care providers.

In consideration of the treatment(s) rendered and to be rendered I hereby authorize the medical provider James S. Linder, M.D., P.C., "Dr. Linder", or any other medical providers authorized by it, to provide such medical services, either regular or emergency, as may be determined by the medical provider to be in my best interests (or the best interests of my dependent if I am signing as a parent/guardian).

Linder, M.D., P.C. personnel may be accompanied and/or assisted by students in various fields of study related to healthcare, such as nursing, physician assistant, medical students, interns, residents, and other allied health fields, and at various stages in their education. I consent to the presence and/or participation in my treatment by these persons while under the direction or supervision of my physician or other healthcare provider.
