• I herby authorize the designated staff to take x-rays, study models, photographs and other diagnostic aids
deemed appropriate by doctor to make a thorough diagnosis.
• Upon such diagnosis, I authorize the doctor to perform all recommended treatment mutually agreed upon by
me and to employ such assistance as required to provide proper care.
• I agree to the use of anesthetics, sedatives, and other medication as necessary. I fully understand that using
anesthetic agents embodies a certain risk. I understand that I can ask for a complete recital on any possible complication.
• I agree to be responsible for payment of all services on my behalf or my dependants. I understand that
payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made.
• I hereby give Dr. Cannilla and Dr. McNally the absolute right and permission to use my photographs/slides for

As a condition of your treatment by this office, financial arrangements must be made in advance. The practice depends upon reimbursement from the patients for the costs incurred in their care and financial responsibility on the part of each patient must be determined before treatment. All emergency dental services, or dental services without previous financial arrangements, must be paid for in cash, check or credit card at the time services are performed. Patients who carry dental insurance understand that all dental services furnished are charged directly to the patient and that he or she is personally responsible for payment of dental services. This office will help prepare that patient’s insurance forms or assist in making collections from insurance companies and will credit any such collections to the patients account. However, this dental office cannot render services on the assumption that our charges will be paid by an insurance company. A late fee of $35 may be charged to your account for unpaid balances exceeding 30 days. A service charge of 1 ½% per month (18% per annum) on the unpaid balance will be charged on all accounts exceeding 60 days, unless previously written financial arrangements are satisfied. I understand that the office may charge me a cancellation fee for any last minute cancellations and broken appointments. I understand that the fee estimate listed for this dental care can only be extended for a period of six months from the date of the patient examination. In consideration for the profession services rendered to me, or at my request, by the Doctor, I agree to pay therefore the reasonable value of said services to said Doctor, or his assignee, at the time said services are rendered or within ten (10) days of billing if credit shall be extended. I further agree that the reasonable value of said services shall be as billed unless objected to, by me, in writing, within the time for payment thereof. I further agree that a waiver of any breach of any time or conditions hereafter shall not constitute a waiver of any further term or condition and I further agree to pay all costs and reasonable attorney and collection fees if suit be instituted. I grant my permission to you or your assignee, to telephone me at home or at my work to discuss matters related to this form. I have read the above conditions of treatment and payment and agree to their content. ___________________________________________________ Date ________________ Signature of patient, parent or legal guardian Anthony Cannilla, D.M.D 170 Changebridge Road, Suite A4-1 Montville, New Jersey 07045 (973) 227-3313 www.cannilla.com (973) 882-1516 NOTICE OF PRIVAC Y PRACTICES
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY
BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS
The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPPA”) is a federal program that requires that all medical records and other individually identifiable health information used to disclose by us in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally, are kept properly confidential. This act gives you, the patient, significant new rights to understand and control how your health information is used. “HIPPA” provides penalties for covered entities that misuse personal information. As required by “HIPPA”, we have prepared this explanation of how we are required to maintain the privacy of your health information and how we may use and disclose your health information. We may use and disclose your medical records only for each of the following purposes: treatment, payment, and health care operations. • Treatment means providing, coordinating or managing health care and related services by one or more health care providers. An example of this would include teeth cleaning services. • Payment means such activities as obtaining reimbursement for services, confirming coverage, billing or collection activities, and utilization review. An example of this would be sending a bill for your visit to your insurance company for payment. • Health care operations include the business aspect of running our practice, such as conducting quality assessment and improvement activities, cost-management analysis, and customer service. An example would be an annual quality assessment review. We may also create and distribute de-identified health information by removing all references to individually identifiable information. We may contact you to provide appointment reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health- related benefits and services that may be of interest to you. Any other uses and disclosures will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke such authorization in writing and we are required to honor and abide by that written request, except to the extent that we have already taken action relying on your authorization. You have the following rights with respect to your protected health information, which you can exercise by presenting a written request to the Privacy Officer: • The right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of protected health information, including those related to disclosures to family members, other relatives, close personal friends, or any other person identified by you. We are, however, not required to agree to a request restriction. If we do agree to a restriction, we must abide by it unless you agree in writing to remove it. • The right to reasonable requests to receive confidential communications of protected health information from us by alternative means or at alternative locations. • The right to inspect and copy your protected health information. • The right to amend your protected health information. • The right to receive an accounting of disclosures of protected health information. • The right to obtain a paper copy of this notice from us upon request. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information and to provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to protected health information. This notice is effective as of April 1, 2003 and we are required to abide by the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices currently in effect. We reserve the right to change the terms of our Notice of Privacy Practices and to make the new notice provisions effective for all protected health information that we maintain. We will post and you may request a written copy of a revised Notice of Privacy Practices from this office.
