Frequently Asked Questions
What is Informed Financial Consent?
Informed financial consent is the process of making sure patients clearly understand the likely costs of their treatment before it takes place. This includes explaining out-of-pocket fees, what’s covered by private health insurance, and providing transparent cost information in advance.It often goes hand-in-hand with Informed Surgical Consent.
Why is an Informed Financial Consent form important?
An informed financial consent form ensures that patients have a written record of their expected expenses. It helps providers meet compliance requirements, reduce misunderstandings, and build patient trust by making fees and payment responsibilities clear.It also forms an essential part of Patient Preparation.
What’s the difference between a financial consent form and an informed financial consent form?
A financial consent form outlines the costs a patient agrees to pay. An informed financial consent form goes further by ensuring the patient has received a full explanation of fees, insurance coverage, and any possible out-of-pocket costs before giving consent.
Do patients need anaesthetic informed financial consent?
Yes. For procedures requiring anaesthesia, an anaesthetic informed financial consent should be provided. This ensures patients are aware of the anaesthetist’s fees, how much is covered by their insurance, and what costs they may need to pay directly.
How does digital informed financial consent benefit patients and providers?
Digital informed financial consent streamlines the process by replacing manual paperwork with secure online forms. Providers can send consent requests instantly, patients can review and sign their forms on any device, and hospitals or clinics can ensure compliance while reducing admin time.
