Patient Name:
I voluntarily and knowingly request and consent to the services, treatments and/or procedures recommended by Dr. Edward Magida and to all diagnostic methods deemed appropriate by the dentist which may include, but not be limited to, X-rays, study models, imagery, and other aides. I authorize the dentist to perform all such services, treatments and/or procedures and to utilize all such diagnostic methods. Further, I acknowledge and understand that the dentist may engage the assistance of others in performing such services, treatments and /or procedures and in utilizing such diagnostic methods.
I understand that the practice of dentistry is not an exact science and I acknowledge that no guarantees have been made to me concerning the results of the series, treatments, procedures and/or diagnostic methods that have been recommended. I also understand that the use of anesthesia carries with it significant risks that have been explained to me.
I understand and acknowledge that I am fully and completely responsible for the payment of all costs associated with the services, treatments, procedures and/or diagnostic methods performed and utilized by the dentist and others. I acknowledge that an insurance coverage or managed care benefit that I may have is based on a contract between my insurance company or managed care company and me, my spouse and/or my employer. The dentist is not a party to the contract and the services, treatments, procedures and/or diagnostic methods are provided to me. Therefore, I acknowledge that I am fully responsible for the payment of all sums owed to the dentist for the services, treatments, procedures and/or diagnostic methods provided to me. As a courtesy to me, the dental office will bill my insurance company or managed care company and I acknowledge that I will remain liable for any and all amounts not paid by the insurance company or managed care company for any reason (including but not limited to the insurance company or managed care company declining coverage after initially approving it) or if the insurance company or managed care company fails for any reason to reimburse the dentist within 30 days after being billed by the dentist. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to provide the dentist with my current insurance or managed care information and any changes thereto.
All returned checks will be subject to a returned check fee based on bank charges. Any account balances that remain unpaid for 60 days from the date of service shall accrue interest at the current rate and may be referred to a collection company or attorney. In the event this occurs, I understand that I will be liable for collection costs. Further, in the event any unpaid account balance is referred to an attorney for collection, I agree also to be responsible for all costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection therewith.

I hereby assign to the dentist all of the insurance and managed care benefits due to me for the services, treatments, procedures and/or diagnostic methods provided to me, and I authorize my insurance company and/or managed care company to make payment directly to the dentist for the costs associated therewith.
I further consent to be contacted by the dentist, any agent of the dental office or any collection agency (or agent thereof) or attorney to whom an unpaid account balance has been assigned or referred by mail at any address that I provide to the dental office and/or by facsimile, email or phone number (whether a cell phone or landline) at any facsimile number, email address or phone number (whether a cell phone or landline) that I provide to the dental office or any agent of the dental office.

Dental Practice Offers Advanced Oral Cancer Screening
VELscope Device Helps Dental Practices Respond to Recent Growth in Incidence of Oral Cancer
Newtown Dental Care has incorporated the VELscope Oral Cancer Screening System into its dental practice.
Oral cancer strikes three times as many victims as cervical cancer. It is one of the few types of cancer that has not seen a significant reduction in incidence over the past thirty years, and recent research has shown a strong association with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which can be sexually transmitted. For this reason, many oral health care professionals now believe that all individuals over the age of 18 should have at least an annual comprehensive oral examination, and ideally at every dental hygiene visit.
The FDA and Health Canada recently cleared the VELscope System for assisting dentists and hygienists in discovering cancerous or precancerous growths that may not be apparent to the naked eye. A screening with the VELscope System adds only one or two minutes to a conventional examination, is completely free of any pain or discomfort, and is affordably priced. More and more insurance companies are covering the cost of the screening.
Oral cancer is typically discovered in late stages, when the five-year survival rate is only 22%. If detected in early stages, however, the five-year survival rate is 80% or higher. The VELscope System can also help discover abnormal growths before they become cancerous. According to Dr. Magida of Newtown Dental Care, "We have always conducted an annual comprehensive oral cancer screening for all of our patients, but now the VELscope System will help us see things we might have missed previously. By detecting potential problems earlier, we will be providing our patients with the best health care currently available".
For more information regarding the VELscope System, visit www.velscope.com, or call Newtown Dental Care at 215-968-7787 with any questions and to schedule an appointment.
Yes. I authorize the clinician to perform the Velscope exam along with the standard oral cancer examination. I accept financial responsibility for this enhanced examination.
