Does anyone know if it's required to get a signed consent by the patient, for steroid injections performed in an orthopaedic practice? Our office does a lot of Visco and cortisone injections and the doctors feel as though this is part of normal ortho care and if they get a verbal consent and indicate that in their note, they feel is enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated
 
Our pediatric office has everyone sign an informed consent for all injections: Vaccine, steroid or antibiotic. In today's litigious society, we feel it necessary.
