The Children’s Medical Group Form and Copying Policy

8/05/13mmp

Health forms are completed based on information abstracted by staff from
your child’s EMR (Electronic Medical Record). All forms are reviewed by a
physician for completeness and accuracy. In some cases, forms mandate that
only the physician may complete them. Insurance companies do not reimburse
for form completion. Forms are completed on the basis of examinations
conducted by physicians of The Children’s Medical Group (CMG)

It is the policy of CMG that our patient has a physical examination within
the past 12 months in order to complete a form. If a physical examination
has not occurred within the past 12 months, an appointment for a physical
examination may be scheduled, at which time the form will be completed. We do not charge a fee for forms attached to well baby checkups (under 36
months of age). It is necessary to charge for Non-CMG forms, which include
but are not limited to college, camps and sports. At each yearly physical
exam (3 years of age and above) you will receive a Physical/Immunization
form from our office. This form may be accepted by schools, and other
organizations. Please make a copy of this form for future use.

Turnaround time for form completion is 24 to 48 hours. Please be sure
to fill out the patient’s name and date of birth to expedite this process.
Remember that each of these forms has to be carefully reviewed by a
physician before it is released.

• There will be a $10.00 charge for the following forms:

1. Any non-CMG school or camp form that includes exam history (height,
weight, blood pressure, BMI, etc)—not completed at the time of the visit.
