ACTH test consent needed?

Question just started working at an endo clinic. I'm sure this question may be dependent on the state you work in. However, anyone her work at an ambulatory clinic and do these tests at least the IM injection? If so, 

*Do you require a patient to sign a consent for the IM injection? 

*Does a provider need to be in office? 

Thank you!

    We send ours to IV therapy for this test, however, I cannot do anything without a provider present. If my own provider is out, the clinic would need another provider to cover in case of an allergic reaction.

    I would require a consent even if the clinic didn't.

    Just curious, why would you require consent if the provider/clinic did not?

    We have to obtain a prior authorization for this test. I would worry that the patient would complain about payment later on.

    Thank you. For this one it’s an injection not via IV. But I agree a consent would be needed however according to my clinic providers - they state it’s not mandated for this injection. Go figure and I couldn’t find anything in my research seems to be a clinic preference.
