We all need a special version of this document we can bring to health care provider visits, something to the effect that they agree to inform of and get consent for any products or services that are Not covered by insurance BEFORE they are provided, since of course they are experts in medical issues and billing.

I have crossed out terms in a standard health care release and given it back without anyone saying anything. So that’s one data point.

I’ve also repeatedly been asked to sign one of those electronic signature pads as the signature to a document that I am not actually seeing. Which is a ridiculous thing to even consider as a workflow. When that happens I just sign the words “not shown document” instead of my name and move on.

Which they will the decline to sign and require you instead to sign there standard, cleared-by-their-legal consent to treatment form before providing any services.

If you could afford the kind of providers that would be willing to even consider a nonstandard agreement, this probably wouldn't be a concern you would have in the first place.
