COVID‐19 PANDEMIC ‐ PATIENT HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. As with the transmission of any communicable disease like a cold or the flu, you may be exposed to COVID-19, also known as “Coronavirus,” at any time or in any place. Be assured that we have always followed state and federal regulations and recommended universal personal protection and disinfection protocols to limit transmission of all diseases in our office and continue to do so.
Despite our careful attention to sterilization, disinfection, and use of personal barriers, there is still a chance that you could be exposed to an illness in our office, just as you might be at your gym, grocery store, or favorite restaurant. “Social Distancing” nationwide has reduced the transmission of the Coronavirus. Although we have taken measures to provide social distancing in our practice, due to the nature of the procedures we provide, it is not possible to maintain social distancing between the patient, orthodontist, orthodontic staff and sometimes other patients at all times.

Although exposure is unlikely, do you accept the risk and consent to treatment?

Do you have a fever or above normal temperature?

Have you experienced shortness of breath or had trouble breathing?

Do you have a dry cough?

Do you have a runny nose?

Have you recently lost or had a reduction in your sense of smell?

Do you have a sore throat?

Have you been in contact with someone who has tested positive for
COVID‐19?

Have you tested positive for COVID‐19?

Have you traveled outside the United States by air or cruise ship in
the past 14 days?

I fully understand and acknowledge the above information, risks and cautions regarding a compromised immune system and have disclosed to my provider any conditions in my health history which may result in a compromised immune system.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that the answers I have provided above are true and accurate.
