CONSENT AND PRACTICE POLICIES:
To the best of my knowledge, the questions on this form have been accurately answered. I understand that providing incorrect information can be dangerous to my (or patient’s) health. It is my responsibility to inform Custom Health Centers of any changes in medical status.
Agreement to Use Electronic Signatures and Electronic Documents
I agree that the electronic signatures included in this notice are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures.
Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including (without limitation) typing a name or clicking a checkbox.
I agree to use electronic documents, notices and contacts "electronic documents", for all future transactions and communications. Electronic documents contain the same information as paper documents, notices and contracts. Paper documents, notices and contracts are available at my request. If I give my consent to use electronic documents, I can later change your mind and request a paper agreement instead.
Cancellation Policy
I agree to keep all scheduled appointments and be on time. If I cannot attend a scheduled session, I will contact Custom Health Centers to cancel and/or reschedule. There will be no fee if the appointment is canceled before 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time. I understand if I miss or cancel with less than 24 hours of notice, then I will be charged for the full price of the appointment.
Informed Consent for Telehealth Consultations
I understand that telehealth is the use of electronic information and communication technologies by a healthcare provider for the delivery of services to an individual when he/she is located at a different site than the provider. I hereby consent to Custom Health Centers providing healthcare services to me via telehealth.
I understand that the laws that protect the privacy and the confidentiality of health information also apply to telehealth. Custom Health Centers's telehealth services are provided by Kalix, Inc., GoHighLevel, Zoom, and Jotform, all HIPAA compliant platforms.
These platforms uses a secure browser-to-browser technology without the need to download or install any software. All data, video, audio, and files are encrypted in both transit and rest. Telehealth appointments are not recorded in any way, but I understand that I have the right to access any information resulting from the service, as required by law.
To join a telehealth appointment, Custom Health Centers will send me a secure link and code as part of my appointment confirmation and appointment reminder messages, which are sent through email or text message.
I understand that telehealth services are not the same as direct in-person appointment delivery because I will not be in the same room as the healthcare provider. The inability to have direct, physical contact with my healthcare provider is a primary difference between telehealth and direct in-person service delivery.
I understand there are potential risks to this technology, including interruptions and technical difficulties. I understand that Custom Health Centers or I can discontinue the telehealth appointment if it is felt that the telehealth connections are not adequate for the situation. Good internet download and upload speed is required for quality telehealth services. The recommended minimum upload and download speeds required is 2Mbps. I can conduct an internet speed test by clicking here. I understand that the quality of my video connection may affect the quality of services provided by Custom Health Centers.
I have had the alternatives to telehealth services explained to me, and I understand that my use of this technology is voluntary. I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to use telehealth in the course of my care at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment. I may revoke my consent orally or in writing at any time by contacting Custom Health Centers. As long as this consent is in force (has not been revoked), Custom Health Centers may provide healthcare services to me via telehealth without the need for me to sign another consent form.
Financial Policy
Custom Health Centers financial policy requires our company to collect payment for your care at the time services are rendered. We accept debit card, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. We ask you to remember that the ultimate responsibility for full payment for our services rests with the adult patient or guarantor. If your account becomes delinquent and it becomes necessary for the account to be referred to an attorney or collection agency or suit, the patient or guarantor will be responsible for paying all patient charges, reasonable attorney fees, collection expenses, and court costs. Custom Health Centers, Inc is affiliated with multiple insurance companies and will attempt to bill out for services. In the case that your insurance provider covers the services you will only be responsible for the remaining balance.
It may become necessary to release your protected health information to financial parties, credit card entities, banks, and financing companies, when requested, to facilitate your payment. Services that are performed that are paid with a credit card, debit card, or financing third party are not eligible for payment challenges after services are provided. By signing this form, I am irrevocably consenting to allow Custom Health Centers, INC. to use and disclose my protected health information to any Credit Card Entity, Bank, or Financing company when they request such information to process an account and assist with payment.
I will not challenge such credit, debit, or financing card payments once the services are provided. The practice encourages complete post-op care and follow-up interaction to address any issues that might arise, which are further addressed in the Revision Policy. I agree that this noncredit card challenge agreement is irrevocable.
Consent to Treatment
I have read through all the above information and have been clearly advised of my rights and responsibilities as a client of Custom Health Centers, including the HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Weight Loss Contract
1. Acknowledgements By You
I acknowledge the following statements to be true by placing my initials in the box below that all of the following acknowledgments will apply:
I acknowledge that I have had a consultation privately about my current health status, weight concerns, the details of the food plan, the details of the program, benefits, and requirements of the Plan conducted by Custom Health Centers and KetalityRX before signing this Agreement.
I acknowledge that I have received a consultation about my weight and about the Medical Weight Loss Plan before signing this agreement.
I acknowledge that, as with all research and development activities, it is not possible to guarantee that the performance of the Services will be successful within a specified time frame or at all.
I acknowledge that the Company incurs costs with each client in order to provide the Plan and the Company’s services. Because of this, there are NO REFUNDS given for our weight loss program. Even if a medication or supplement does not work for you or you can not stay on the medication or supplement due to side effects, we will make suggestions for alternatives, up to ordering you the alternative, but there are NO REFUNDS.
I acknowledge products are subject to change. The Program Products, including the supplements or prescribed medications therein, are subject to change without notice. CHC and KetalityRX reserve the right to make improvements, updates, and/or changes to its Program Products at any time during the term of this Agreement.
I affirm that I have stated all my known medical conditions, and answered all questions honestly. I agree to keep the health coaches updated as to any changes in my medical profile during the session and understand that there shall be no liability on the health coaches, nurses, doctors, or employees of Custom Health Centers.
2. Life Transformation Process
Client hereby acknowledges that the Medical Weight Loss Plan is a lifestyle transformation and a transformation that takes time, effort, and focus from the client participating. Our weight loss program and coaches aim to make weight loss a fast, fun, and easy process. That being said, the client will be asked to make lifestyle changes to accomplish their goals. Failure to follow the recommended lifestyle changes will decrease your desired results.
As with any diet, exercise program, fat loss program, and food management plan, there are tremendous rewards; however, Client must schedule follow-up appointments with Client’s medical doctor for evaluation. Individuals who lose fat often need their medications adjusted. Client is responsible for coordinating with his/her medical doctor as to the same. All materials and recommendations contemplated by this Agreement are intended merely to assist Client in his/her personal weight loss efforts. Company, including, but not limited to, Dr. Thomas Nabity, MD, Dr. Jason Olafsson, DC, or Dr. Bradley Krawczyk, DC will NOT give Client medical advice, medical treatment, or medical diagnosis above and beyond the medical weight loss plan advised for the client. Thus, the information generated by the Company should not be interpreted as a substitute for a client's primary care physician consultation, evaluation, or treatment. Client is vehemently urged and advised by the Company to seek the advice of their own medical physician before beginning any weight loss effort or regimen.
If you are currently taking medication, please continue to follow your medical doctor’s instructions and stay on your medication(s). However, during or after the completion of your plan, you may want to schedule a follow-up with your medical doctor to be re-evaluated. We find it to be very common that individuals who lose fat and decrease weight will often need their medications adjusted.
You are urged and advised to seek the advice of a physician before beginning any weight loss effort or regimen. This information is not meant to replace the advice of any physician. Do not rely upon any information received from anyone or any materials in our program to replace consultations or advice received by qualified health professionals regarding your own specific situation. Any information provided by Dr. Thomas Nabity, MD, Dr. Jason Olafsson, Dr. Bradley Krawczyk, Custom Health Centers, Inc., our doctors, nurses, or staff should NEVER be construed as medical advice above and beyond the advised Medical Weight Loss Plan or semaglutide plan. You agree to not hold Dr. Thomas Nabity, MD, Dr. Jason Olafsson, DC, Dr. Bradley Krawczyk, DC, or KetalityRX or Custom Health Centers, Inc. responsible for any health-related issues as a result of participating in this protocol.
If you have any questions in your mind regarding any health concern, you should seek medical assistance. If you are not satisfied with the advice of your current physician, you always have the right to obtain another medical opinion.
Additionally, if you are on medications, such as for high blood pressure, cancer and/or diabetes, or any other health condition, you agree to be monitored regularly by your physician because some medications may require adjustment during the protocol as a natural side effect resulting from weight loss with this program.
