Your intake forms and practice policies ensure that you have the information necessary to start providing services to a client and that the patient is fully aware of the conditions and expectations of receiving care.
When do clients see these policy documents?
These policy documents are provided to clients when they fill out their initial intake forms. The initial intake form appears when clients reach your appointment booking page via your scheduling link or the Grow Therapy marketplace.
What is included in the initial intake forms?
The appointment booking form has various sections for clients to fill out, including basic personal information, payment information, and various policy agreements.
Where are the practice policy consent options?
Clients provide consent by checking various boxes at the end of the booking form.
What documents do clients agree and consent to?
The policies that appear here include a Notice of Privacy Policy, Informed Consent, Practice Policies, Terms of Service, and Website Privacy Policy. Grow Therapy's current policy documents and the purpose of each are available here.
Why hasn't my client acknowledged informed consent?
Grow Therapy partners with specific payors to offer direct booking access. This platform enables the payors’ care managers to find and schedule an appointment with a Grow Therapy provider on the client’s behalf. However, the care manager is not authorized to acknowledge the informed consent documents on behalf of the client. Instead, the client is prompted to acknowledge Informed Consent through their confirmation email and a task in their Client Portal. The images below are previews of the client experience:
Grow Therapy also provides individual booking assistance via the New Client Bookings team. In this scenario, the Informed Consent form will not be acknowledged on the client's behalf. It's recommended that you ask the client to complete this form before beginning your first session.
The date the client acknowledged 'Informed Consent' is available on their chart.
Can I add additional policy documents?
You cannot upload or customize practice policy forms at this time. If you have additional policy documents you want your new clients to review, you can send them directly to the client before the session via email or the Messages feature. Please note these documents must not conflict with Grow's policies.
