If your insurance is an HMO, POS, or MC plan, and University Health and Urgent Care/Advanced Perioperative Medicine is not listed as your primary care provider, I the undersigned understand and agree that I am fully responsible for any out-of-network and deductible payments that are not covered by your insurance.
The undersigned hereby authorizes the release of any information relating to all claims for benefits submitted on behalf of myself and/or my dependents. I further expressly agree and acknowledge that my signature on this document authorizes my physician to submit claims for benefits, for services rendered, or for services to be rendered without obtaining my signature on each claim to be submitted for myself and/or my dependents and that I will be bound by this signature as though the undersigned had personally signed the particular claim.
I understand and agree that should the insurance card I present today be invalid, expired, incorrect in any way, or not the appropriate card for my current insurance, I will be personally and financially responsible for any charges incurred as a result of such error. I also agree that it is my responsibility to present the correct insurance card at the time of each visit. I further agree to accept responsibility for any bills incurred that are denied by my current insurance company for any reason including timely filing as a result of my failing to present an appropriate insurance card or presenting inaccurate personal information, including old or invalid insurance cards, licenses, or other identifying information.
I also understand and agree that it is within the rights of University Health and Urgent Care/Advanced Perioperative Medicine to collect any outstanding charges by billing me personally through any collection method including phone, mail, or collection agency. Should such delinquent accounts remain unpaid after 60 days, University Health and Urgent Care/Advanced Perioperative Medicine or its agents may forward such accounts to a collection agency, and such accounts may be reported to a national collection bureau. I hold University Health and Urgent Care/Advanced Perioperative Medicine, its agents, or assignees harmless for all damages resulting from such action.
I understand and agree that if I do not have insurance, I will be responsible for all charges incurred today due in full at the end of my visit unless other arrangements were made before my visit.
I hereby authorize my insurance carrier to pay, and hereby assign directly to University Health and Urgent Care Advanced Perioperative Medicine, all benefits, if any otherwise payable to me for the facility's services as described on the attached forms. I understand I am financially responsible for all charges incurred. I further acknowledge that any insurance benefits, when received by and paid to University Health and Urgent Care, will be credited to my account by the above-said assignment.
Your signature below acknowledges that you read and agree to the above and that you have received the Notice of Privacy Practices and the Release of Information.
