PATIENT REGISTRATION AND CONSENT FOR TREATMENT
1. CONSENT FOR TREATMENT. I voluntarily consent to inpatient and/or outpatient care and treatment performed by
my physician and all other health care providers at University of Colorado School of Medicine health care delivery sites. I also
consent to routine services, diagnostic procedures, medical treatment, other health care services deemed necessary by the health
care providers treating me. I understand that the practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science and that diagnosis and
treatment may cause injury or even death. I understand that I have a right to consent or to refuse to consent to any proposed surgery,
procedure or treatment, and to discuss it with my health care provider. I also understand that in the course of my medical
treatment I may have one or more photographs of my skin or wound(s) taken, to use in monitoring my treatment and guiding
healthcare provider interventions. I understand that individuals who want to learn about the roles of healthcare providers may observe the
treatment I receive and I consent to this but I have the right at any time to object to letting such an individual observe and my objection
will be honored. If this Patient Registration and Consent for Treatment is signed as part of an Emergency Department or
other outpatient visit, it will continue for any related inpatient admission. I understand that if I am participating in a
research protocol and have signed the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) consent form, all provisions of this
Patient Registration and Consent for Treatment shall apply to those tests and services not included within the research
protocol.
2. AUTHORIZATION, FOR RELEASE OF INFORMATION. I authorize University of Colorado School of Medicine
and its health care delivery sites to utilize confidential medical/Surgical or other information contained in my medical record as
necessary for claims payment, medical management, or quality of care review purposes. I further authorize the release and
discharge of such confidential, information to my insurance company or other health coverage plan, including government

a positive Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody test result, alcohol and/or drug abuse information, genetic testing,
congenital disorders, and mental health information. I understand this authorization for release of information can be revoked by
me in writing at any time, but only with respect to the proposed treatment and not with respect to care and treatment that
has already been rendered to me. I understand that if I am a participant in a human subject research protocol, my medical
information may be further released to agencies and individuals identified in the COMIRB Subject Consent Form.

Student Mental Health Guidelines
1. Initial Appointment: Please check in with our clinical coordinator for your initial
appointment. Her office is located in building 500 on the 2nd floor in the east hallway,
Reception E2301. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment to
complete paperwork. Please bring your insurance card to the first appointment.
2. Insurance: If you have the student sponsored plan, your plan covers an unlimited
number of visits with $0 copay. If you have outside insurance, please check with your
plan to verify coverage and benefits. If Student Mental Health (billed through CU
Medicine formally University Physicians Inc.) is not in‐network, we will help you find an
in‐network provider and facilitate your referral. You will be responsible for any co‐
payments at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Checks
should be made out to CU Medicine.
3. Missed Appointments: Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellation or
rescheduling of follow‐up appointments. There will be a $40 No Show Fee charged for
missed appointments. You will be responsible for the missed appointment fees – these
are not covered by insurance. You can pay directly to the SMH Clinic Coordinator in the
Reception Area. Exceptions will be at the discretion of the individual clinician.
4. Rescheduling/Cancellations: If you need to reschedule your initial intake appointment,
please call 303‐724‐4716 at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled time. If you don’t
attend your intake appointment, you may reschedule, but this will not be done on an
urgent basis. If you miss two intake appointments, the Student Mental Health team will
review your situation prior to rescheduling.
5. Altered Mental Status: If a student presents under the influence of alcohol or drugs at
the time of their appointment or during walk‐in hours, they will be asked to reschedule
for another appointment time. In some instances this may result in a transport to the
emergency department for further assessment based on clinician discretion and reason
for altered mental status.
6. Resuming Care with SMH: If you have been seen previously by a Student Mental Health
provider, please indicate this when you call to resume care with Student Mental Health.
7. Changing Providers: If you wish to change your assigned Student Mental Health
provider, please first work with your current provider to attempt to resolve and address
any treatment issues. If you still have concerns, please notify our clinical coordinator at
303‐724‐4716. The Student Mental Health team will review your case.
8. Visit Frequency: In order to remain a patient with Student Mental Health, you must be
seen by your clinician at least once every three months. Otherwise, your file will be
closed.
9. Prescription Refill Requests: Please plan for a 72 hour window when requesting
prescription refills. You may ask your pharmacy to contact us or you may contact your
provider directly. If you choose to contact us directly, please provide the following
information:
spell your last name
pharmacy phone number
date of birth
name of medication
dose of medication
Please keep in mind that Schedule II medications (e.g. stimulants) require a paper script
and cannot be called in.
10. CPDMP: If you are prescribed a controlled substance, your prescription information will
be loaded into the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and may be queried by
authorized individuals.
11. Confidentiality: Information shared during appointments is confidential and will not be
discussed or exchanged with anyone without your explicit written permission.
However, there are several situations in which your clinician is legally bound to report to
the appropriate authorities. This includes indications of child abuse. Imminent danger
to yourself or others may require the clinician to breach confidentiality in order to
ensure safety. Please see University of Colorado School of Medicine & CU Medicine
(University Physicians, Inc.) Notice of Privacy practices for more details.
12. Email Communication: Email communication is at the discretion of the student. Email
accessed through My Health Connection is confidential. Email communication sent
through other services cannot be guaranteed as confidential and is subject to less
stringent privacy laws. If you are comfortable using email as a form of communication,
please sign and date below.
13. Off‐Hours Coverage: During regular business hours (Monday – Friday 8:30am – 5pm),
you may contact the Student Mental Health Clinic Coordinator at 303‐724‐4716. She
will forward your call to the appropriate clinician, and your call will be returned by the
end of the next business day. For after‐hours, holiday, and weekend coverage, call 303‐
370‐9127 and ask to speak to Attending. Identify yourself as an AMC student. Your call

Revised 3/2017
Rob Rosenthal, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
13001 E 17th Pl, Aurora, CO, 80045
Tel: 303-724-9637
THERAPIST
I, Dr. Rob Rosenthal, have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver (2009),
a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver (2007), and a B.A. in English from
Princeton University (1994). I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Colorado; my
license number is 3655. I am an independent practitioner, and, as such, am not legally or
professionally affiliated with any other mental health professional.
YOUR RIGHTS
As a client seeking mental health services, you have certain rights. These include your right to seek a
second opinion from another therapist or your right to terminate this therapy at any time. You are also
entitled to receive information regarding the methods of therapy, techniques used, the duration of
therapy, if known, and the fee structure. Please ask if I do not fully provide you with this information
or if you have any questions.
The practice of licensed or registered persons in the field of psychotherapy is regulated by the Mental
Health Licensing Section of the Division of Registrations. The Board of Psychologists Examiners can
be reached at 1560 Broadway, Suite 1350, Denver, Colorado 80202, (303) 894-7800. As to the
regulatory requirements applicable to mental health professionals: a Licensed Psychologist must hold
a doctorate degree in psychology and have one year of post-doctoral supervision. A Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Licensed Professional
Counselor must hold a masters degree in their profession and have two years of post-masters
supervision. A Licensed Social Worker must hold a masters degree in social work. A Psychologist
Candidate, a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate, and a Licensed Professional Counselor
Candidate must hold the necessary licensing degree and be in the process of completing the required
supervision for licensure. A Certified Addiction Counselor I (CAC I) must be a high school graduate,
and complete required training hours and 1,000 hours of supervised experience. A CAC II must
complete additional required training hours and 2,000 hours of supervised experience. A CAC III
must have a bachelor’s degree in behavioral health, and complete additional required training hours
and 2,000 hours of supervised experience. A Licensed Addiction Counselor must have a clinical
master’s degree and meet the CAC III requirements. A registered psychotherapist is a psychotherapist
listed in the State's database and is authorized by law to practice psychotherapy in Colorado but is not
licensed by the state and is not required to satisfy any standardized educational or testing
requirements to obtain a registration from the state.
THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP
Your relationship with me is a professional and therapeutic relationship. In order to preserve this
relationship, it is imperative that I not have any other type of relationship with you. Social and/or
business relationships undermine the effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship. Gifts, bartering,
and trading services are not appropriate and should not be shared between us. Additionally, in a
professional relationship, sexual intimacy is never appropriate and should be reported to the Board
that licenses, registers, or certifies the licensee, registrant or certificate holder.
PROFESSIONAL RECORDS
The laws and standards of my profession require that I keep treatment records. You are entitled to
receive a copy of your records, or I can prepare a summary for you instead. Because these are
professional records, they can be misinterpreted and/or upsetting to untrained readers. If you wish to
see your records, I recommend that you review them in my presence so that we can discuss the
contents.
Any person who alleges that a mental professional has violated the licensing laws related to the
maintenance of records of a client eighteen years of age or older must file a complaint or other notice
with the licensing board within seven years after the person discovered or reasonably should have
discovered this. Pursuant to law, this practice will maintain records for a period of seven years
commencing on the date of termination of services or on the date of last contact with the client,
whichever is later. Client records may not be maintained after seven years following the end of
treatment.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Generally speaking, the information provided by and to the client during therapy sessions is legally
confidential and cannot be released without the client’s consent. There are exceptions to this
confidentiality, some of which are listed in section 12-43-218 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as
well as other exceptions in Colorado and Federal law. The Mental Health Practice Act (CRS 12-43-
101, et seq.) is available at: http://www.dora.state.co.us/mentalhealth/Statute.pdf. For example, as a
mental health professional, I am required to report suspected child abuse to authorities. Also, if I
believe that a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another, I am required to take protective
actions. These actions may include notifying the potential victim, contacting the police, or seeking
hospitalization for the client. Furthermore, if a client threatens to harm himself/herself, I may be
obligated to seek hospitalization for him/her or to contact family members or others who can help
provide protection. In most legal proceedings, you have the right to prevent me from providing any
information about your treatment; yet, in some proceedings involving child custody and those in
which your emotional condition is an important issue, a judge may order my testimony if he/she
determines that the issues demand it. If you request that I share information with third parties, I
cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information that leaves this office. Additionally, under the
USA Patriot Act, I am required to report threats to national security. These situations have rarely
occurred in my practice. If a similar situation occurs, I will make every effort to fully discuss it with
you before taking any action. If a legal exception arises during therapy, if feasible, you will be
informed accordingly.
While this written summary of exceptions to confidentiality should prove helpful in informing you
about potential problems, it is important that we discuss any questions or concerns that you may have
at our next meeting.
AGREEMENT
Your signature below indicates you have read the preceding information, it has also been provided
verbally, and that you understand your rights as a client. Your signature below indicates that you
