Patient Treatment Contract1. I understand that my provider and I will work together to find the most appropriate treatment for my chronic pain. I

understand the goals of treatment are not to eliminate pain, but to partially relieve my pain in order to improve myability to function. Chronic opioid therapy is only ONE part of my overall pain management plan.

2. I understand that my provider and I will continually evaluate the effect of opiates on achieving the treatment goalsand make changes as needed. I agree to take the medication at the dose and frequency prescribed by my provider.I agree not to increase the dose of opiate on my own and understand that doing so may lead to the treatment withopiates being stopped.

3. I understand that the common adverse effects of opioid therapy include constipation, nausea, sweating, anditchiness of the skin. Drowsiness may occur when starting opioid therapy or when increasing the dosage. I agree torefrain from driving a motor vehicle or operating dangerous machinery until such drowsiness disappears.

4. I will not seek opioid medications from another physician for the treatment of my chronic pain. Regular follow-upcare is required. Only my provider will prescribe opioid medications for my chronic pain and only at scheduledappointments.

5. I will attend all appointments, treatments, and consultations as requested by my providers. I will engage in othersupplemental treatments and follow any additional pain management recommendations.

6. I will not give or sell my medication(s)/ prescription(s) to anyone, including family members. I will not acceptany opioid medication(s) from anyone. I agree to be responsible for the secure storage of my medication(s)/prescription(s) at all times. If the medication(s)/ prescription(s) are stolen, I will report this to police and my providerand will produce a police report of this event if requested to do so.

7. I must disclose past medical history, past pain treatment, and any alcohol or drug addiction or dependency history.8. I hereby agree that my provider has the authority to discuss my pain management with other health care

professionals and my family members when it is deemed medically necessary in the provider’s judgment. If analternate provider becomes involved in my care due to an emergency situation or hospitalization, I will notify mydoctor ASAP so my care is properly coordinated and my condition adequately managed. Furthermore, I will furnishthe Treatment Facility visit note or Discharge Summary during my next visit.

9. I understand that if my prescription runs out early for any reason (for example, if I lose the medication or takemore than prescribed), my provider may not prescribe extra medication for me. I may have to wait until the nextprescription is due.*Note accepting a partial fill from your pharmacy means you are forfeiting the rest of yourmedication and it will not be replaced.

10. Opioid medication will only be available in written prescriptions during normal office hours.11. I understand that the use of other medications can cause adverse effects or interfere with opioid therapy. Therefore,

I agree to notify my provider of me using of any substances, including but not limited to sedatives, musclerelaxants, marijuana, alcohol, other medications not prescribed for me and all illicit drugs.

12. I agree to periodic unscheduled drug screens. In the event I am called for a Random Drug Screen I must report tothe office no later than in 72 hours and failure to do so could lead to my dismissal from the Practice.

13. I understand that I may become physically dependent on opioid medications, which in a small number of patientsmay lead to addiction. I agree that if necessary, I will permit referral to addiction specialists as a condition of mytreatment plan.

14. Any unused or unwanted opioid medications or Belbuca prescribed to me must be surrendered to the Blossomoffice for a proper disposal.

15. Any case of suspected or confirmed diversion of my medication will lead to immediate termination of treatment byBlossom Pain Management without appeal or recourse.

16. I understand that my failure to meet these requirements may result in my provider choosing to stop writing opioidprescriptions for me.

I acknowledge, understand and agree to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement
