All information submitted is confidential and secured via HIPAA compliant encryption. Please answer all questions completely and truthfully. We wish to allocate and plan for resources most suitable for your needs and avoid downstream delays or disruption in your care. Please reference your prior records, medications, and our practice website for more information. Before we establish care, we ask that you complete a Pre-Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ)/Prospective Patient Questionnaire that will guide our administrative team to determine your level of care and start planning your care. All your information will remain private and will be used solely for timely onboarding. The form should take between 10-20 minutes to fill out and autosaves your progress.

FAQs

What is a PAQ (Pre-Assessment Questionnaire)?

It is an introductory form to gather demographic information, basic history, and personal identification to initiate enrollment.

How long does the PAQ (Pre-Assessment Questionnaire) take?

The total time for all questions takes approximately 10-15 minutes, and your progress is auto saved. Of course, you can spend more time-sharing details or having a complex case. Our average completion time for complex cases is around 15-20 minutes.

Why would I do this before scheduling an appointment?

A completed PAQ assists us in determining a suitable provider who can offer personalized care for your unique case and confirming your benefits. Our team aims to be prepared to provide you with accurate and valuable preliminary information before scheduling to help you make an informed decision and avoid any unpleasant surprises for both you and us.

What if I do not want to share certain aspects of my history?

We assure you that all your information is strictly confidential and will only be used to give you the best possible care. Don’t feel there are any “wrong” answers; don’t hesitate to include all relevant details.

Will I have to complete this information in the intake forms again before my first visit?

You will need to complete a detailed intake form before your scheduled appointment, which will cover a thorough history. This will save you time from answering these questions again during your initial consultation interview.

Will my personal information be used for any other reason?

All your information collected securely will remain private and be used solely for timely onboarding.
