What to Expect From Us
After your initial appoint and if testing is being pursued
- Your proposal for testing will be submitted to your insurance for
approval.
o Proposals will only be sent to insurance if we are providers for your insurance
company. Insurance may take up to 14 days to respond to a preauthorization for
testing hours. Depending on your benefits and number of hours requested, your
insurance may choose only to cover a smaller part of the requested hours for
testing. The remaining hours will need to be dropped or covered out-of-pocket.
- Testing will be scheduled and completed.
o You will be given the results of your insurance authorization. Testing can take
anywhere between 1 – 2 days depending on the size of the battery and the
speed of the test taker. If your testing is to be done off medication, please make
sure to be off the medications for the amount of time specified by the doctor.
- A feedback appointment will be scheduled.
o The purpose of this appointment is to have the test results explained to the client.
A list of recommended therapies will also be provided.
- When do I receive my written copy of the report?
o A written, final copy of the report will be sent to the client between 3 – 5 weeks
after the feedback appointment. You may still pursue the recommended
therapies before receiving the written report.
o We provide both personal and school versions of the reports directly to you so
that you can pass them along to any party you need. Relying on us to pass
reports to other parties becomes difficult due to HIPPA regulations.
- Therapies can be scheduled with reception after the feedback
appointment.
- For questions regarding where you stand in the process, ask for
a front office manager at 678-749-7600.

you may be assessed a $50.00 fee, and deposit may be required to schedule future appointments.
As a courtesy to you, we will complete and file an insurance form, if we are providers for your company. If not,

clauses on his or her policy for services as per insurance requirements and verify network status of rendering
services.
I hereby assign all medical benefits to which I am entitled to Mind and Motion, LLC (M&M). This

Cancellation & No Show Policy
Dear Patient:
We strive to render excellent psychological care to you and the rest of our patients. In order to do so, we
have had to implement an appointment cancellation and no show policy. The policy enables us to better
utilize available appointments for our patients in need of psychological care. Patients who are not able to
keep their appointments are required to provide timely notice of cancellation prior to their appointment
time. Providing the required notice gives us the opportunity to schedule patients who may need to be
seen urgently or from a wait list so they may be seen sooner.
Due to the nature of our practice, 24-hour notice is required to change your
Appointments. Please call (678) 749-7600 to do so.
Patients who DO NOT provide the required notification for cancellation are subject to a $50.00 fee
that is NOT COVERED by insurance.
Patients who fail to pay the above fee will not be allowed to schedule future appointments until the fee is
paid.
Multiple Cancellations or No Shows will result in dismissal from our practice.
Thank you for cooperation.
*I have read and understand the rules and regulations of this policy and the penalties incurred for failing
to abide by it.
Signature:___________________________________________ Date:____________________________
*In the event that I fail to provide adequate notice of a cancellation, I assume full responsibility for the
cancellation / no show fee and allow the following credit card to be charged to render payment for this
fee.

Authorization/Responsibility Agreement
Although MIND AND MOTION, LLC (M&M), as such may accept assignment of benefits, I am ultimately responsible for all
charges should my insurance company not reimburse for claims submitted.
Professional Fees and responsibility for M&M:
A. The initial intake interview is a separate fee. The report feedback session is a separate fee.
B. All fees thusly, include, a comprehensive evaluation, (where applicable) the preparation of necessary reports (where
applicable), consultation with primary care physicians (where applicable) referral to appropriate agencies and/or additional
professionals, and a conference (where applicable).
C. An additional fee is required for school consultations, plus mileage (round trip) at the predetermined IRS reimbursement rate
for travel.
D. Please note: Our office seeks reimbursement for certain costs incurred, such as computer search, telephone calls exceeding
conference allowed time, copying additional copies of reports, if lost or misplaced, or other services exceeding stated
proposals.
Insurance Coverage Responsibility/Terms:
I understand that whether I am an “out” or an “in-patient”, professional services may or may not be covered by my medical
insurance policy. And although M&M agrees to assist in completing my insurance form, it is a convenience and a courtesy to
me. However, my insurance coverage will pay according to the company terms for the services so long as I have met my
deducible for the year; but, I agree that I am ultimately responsible for the payment of the established fees regardless of
insurance coverage, in full, prior to testing or at the time of testing unless other arrangements have been made with a
representative of the billing office of M&M. If any tests are not conducted or we are unable to complete any test, the client will
be refunded toward that test with the exception of a $40.00 non-refundable fee, for electro-physiological procedures which
may include but is not limited to QEEG, EEG and rEEG.
I understand that I am responsible for monitoring the continuity of coverage and will not hold M&M responsible for inaccurate
information provided by my insurance company, or for decisions or changes made by my insurance company.
I have read the terms of this contract, have had an opportunity to ask questions about the terms of the contract, and I am of
the opinion that I fully understand the terms of this contract.
Delinquent Accounts and Collections:
I understand that a delinquent account (all claims 60 days in arrears after billing which is completed following testing) is any
account, which is not being complied with in accordance with this written agreement. I understand that the failure to pay the
fees for services may result in collection purposes (after 60 days) and should my account be turned over for collection, fees for
these services will be included. If we refer collection of your account to a lawyer, who is not our employee, you will be liable for
any reasonable attorney fees we incur to the extent permitted by law.
_________________________________________
Signature (Person or persons responsible for charges)

GEORGIA NOTICE FORM
Notice of Psychologist’s Policies and Practices to Protect the Privacy of Your Health Information
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW
IT CAREFULLY.
I. Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations
I may use or disclose your protected health information (PHI), for treatment, payment, and health care operations purposes with your consent. To help clarify these terms, here are some
definitions:
• “PHI” refers to information in your health record that could identify you.
• “Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations”
– Treatment is when I provide, coordinate or manage your health care and other services related to your health care. An example of treatment would be when I consult with
another health care provider, such as your family physician or another psychologist.
– Payment is when I obtain reimbursement for your healthcare. Examples of payment are when I disclose your PHI to your health insurer to obtain reimbursement for your
health care or to determine eligibility or coverage.
– Health Care Operationsare activities that relate to the performance and operation of my practice. Examples of health care operations are quality assessmentand improvement
activities, business-related matters such as audits and administrative services, and case management and care coordination.
• “Use” applies only to activities within my [office, clinic, practice group, etc.] such as sharing, employing, applying, utilizing, examining, and analyzing information that identifies you.
• “Disclosure” applies to activities outside of my [office, clinic, practice group, etc.], such as releasing, transferring, or providing access to information about you to other parties.
II. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Authorization
I may use or disclose PHI for purposes outside of treatment, payment, or health care operations when your appropriate authorization is obtained. An “authorization” is written permission
above and beyond the general consent that permits only specific disclosures. In those instances when I am asked for information for purposes outside of treatment, payment or health care
operations, I will obtain an authorization from you before releasing this information. I will also need to obtain an authorization before releasing your Psychotherapy Notes. “Psychotherapy
Notes” are notes I have made about our conversation during a private, group, joint, or family counseling session, which I have kept separate from the rest of your medical record. These notes
are given a greater degree of protection than PHI.
You may revoke all such authorizations (of PHI or Psychotherapy Notes) at any time, provided each revocation is in writing. You may not revoke an authorization to the extent that (1) I have
relied on that authorization; or (2) if the authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage, law provides the insurer the right to contest the claim under the policy.
III. Uses and Disclosures with Neither Consent nor Authorization
I may use or disclose PHI without your consent or authorization in the following circumstances:
• Child Abuse – If I have reasonable cause to believe that a child has been abused, I must report that belief to the appropriate authority.
• Adult and Domestic Abuse – If I have reasonable cause to believe that a disabled adult or elder person has had a physical injury or injuries inflicted upon such disabled adult or elder
person, other than by accidental means, or has been neglected or exploited, I must report that belief to the appropriate authority.
• Health Oversight Activities – If I am the subject of an inquiry by the Georgia Board of Psychological Examiners, I may be required to disclose protected health information regarding you
in proceedings before the Board.
• Judicial and Administrative Proceedings – If you are involved in a court proceeding and a request is made about the professional services I provided you or the records thereof, such
information is privileged under state law, and I will not release information without your written consent or a court order. The privilege does not apply when you are being evaluated
for a third party or where the evaluation is court ordered. You will be informed in advance if this is the case.
• Serious Threat to Health or Safety – If I determine, or pursuant to the standards of my profession should determine, that you present a serious danger of violence to yourself or another, I
may disclose information in order to provide protection against such danger for you or the intended victim.
• Worker’s Compensation – I may disclose protected health information regarding you as authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with laws relating to worker’s
compensation or other similar programs, established by law, that provide benefits for work-related injuries or illness without regard to fault.
IV. Patient’s Rights and Psychologist’s Duties
Patient’s Rights:
• Right to Request Restrictions – You have the right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of protected health information. However, I am not required to agree to a
restriction you request.
• Right to Receive Confidential Communications by Alternative Means and at Alternative Locations – You have the right to request and receive confidential communications of PHI by
alternative means and at alternative locations. (For example, you may not want a family member to know that you are seeing me. On your request, I will send your bills to another
address.)
• Right to Inspect and Copy – You have the right to inspect or obtain a copy (or both) of PHI in my mental health and billing records used to make decisions about you for as long as the PHI
is maintained in the record. I may deny your access to PHI under certain circumstances, but in some cases you may have this decision reviewed. On your request, I will discuss with you
the details of the request and denial process.
• Right to Amend – You have the right to request an amendment of PHI for as long as the PHI is maintained in the record. I may deny your request. On your request, I will discuss with
you the details of the amendment process.
• Right to an Accounting – You generally have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures of PHI. On your request, I will discuss with you the details of the accounting process.
• Right to a Paper Copy – You have the right to obtain a paper copy of the notice from meupon request, even if you have agreed to receive the notice electronically.
Psychologist’s Duties:
• I am required by law to maintain the privacy of PHI and to provide you with a notice of my legal duties and privacy practiceswith respect to PHI.
• I reserve the right to change the privacy policies and practices described in this notice. Unless I notify you of such changes, however, I am required to abide by the terms currently in
effect.
• If I revise my policies and procedures, I will provide you a copy at your next appointment, post the revisions, and have the revisions available at the front desk if you are not an active
patient.
V. Complaints
If you are concerned that I have violated your privacy rights, or you disagree with a decision I made about access to your records, you may contact, the office manager at 678-749-7600.
VI.Effective Date, Restrictions, and Changes to Privacy Policy
This notice will go into effect on 4-14-2003.
I will limit the uses or disclosures that I will make as follows:
I reserve the right to change the terms of this notice and to make the new notice provisions effective for all PHI that I maintain. I will provide you with a revised notice by posting the revised
notice in the office, giving you a copy at the next appointment, or having available copies for you to request if you are not an active patient.
