Hoyman M. Hong, MD Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Pain Management and Electrodiagnostics A Consent Form for Treatment The purpose of this consent for treatment is to protect your access and our ability to prescribe you controlled (scheduled) medications in the care of your medical condition. The long-term use of such substances as narcotic pain medications (opiate analgesics), benzodiazepine tranquilizers, and sedatives is controversial because of uncertainty regarding the extent to which they provide long-term benefit. There is the risk of an addictive disorder developing or of relapse occurring in a person with a prior addiction. The extent of this risk is not certain but is generally considered to be no more than the incidence in the general population. As these medications have potential for abuse or diversion, strict accountability is necessary especially when utilization is prolonged. For this reason the following policies must be agreed to by you, the patient, as consideration for, and a condition of, the willingness of the physician to consider the initial and/ or continued prescription writing of controlled substances to treat your medical illness. Initial _____ 1. I agree to treatment with: Hoyman Hong, M.D. _____ 2.

I will be prepared to bring in the original prescription bottles to each office visit. 11.

I authorize the provider to cooperate fully with any local municipal, city, state or federal law enforcement agency in the investigation of any possible misuse, sale, or other diversion of my pain medication. I further agree to waive any applicable privilege or right of privacy or confidentiality with respect to our cooperation in a formal investigation. _____ 15. I understand that in chronic conditions prescription pain medication management is one form of treatment and its continued use is contingent on evidence of benefit. _____ 16. I understand that failure to adhere to these policies may result in cessation of therapy with the controlled substance prescribed by this office and physician. _____ 17.
