2. Client Intake

After verifying the clients physician status via medical identification card, you should send the PWP Informed Consent to Treat Form to the client after setting up an appointment. It is a signable Adobe Acrobat file, although members may choose to print it and fill it out manually. The consent to treat is designed to create discussion and understanding between you and the client during your first session.
