Accept Financial Responsibility
I understand and agree that, regardless of the insurance status, I am ultimately responsible for the balance of my
account
for any professional services rendered, including but not limited to collection agency fees and court costs. I
authorize
Northwest Radiology Network and agents to call my cell phone by auto dialer in order to collect any amount due. If
I have provided my personal email address, I authorize Northwest Radiology Network and agents to contact me via
that
email address. If after Northwest Radiology Network makes reasonable attempt to collect my balance due, I have not
responded by paying my account in full or by arranging for a payment plan, it will be turned over to a collection
agency.
The additional costs incurred by Northwest Radiology Network for this action will also be passed along to me.
Text Message Account Alerts
Text Message Account Alerts I authorize Northwest Radiology Network and agents to send text message appointment
reminders
or other communication to me on my provided cell phone number. I understand that text message charges from my cell
phone provider may apply.
I, as the parent or lawful guardian of this patient, authorize Northwest Radiology Network to render the ordered
exams as
well as any unforeseen treatment the staff deems necessary.
