1. Medicare - I request that payment of authorized Medicare benefits be made on my behalf to ESI, for services furnished
me by ESI. I authorize any holder of medical information about me to release to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (formerly Health Care Financing Administration) and its agents any information needed to determine these
benefits or the benefits payable for related services. I understand my signature requests that payment be made and
authorizes release of medical information necessary to pay the claim. If other health insurance is indicated in Item 9 of the
HCFA 1500 form or elsewhere on other approved claim forms, my signature authorizes releasing the information to the
insurer or agency shown. ESI accepts the charge determination of the Medicare carrier as the full charge, and I am
responsible only for the deductible, coinsurance and non covered services Coinsurance and deductible are based upon
the charge determination of the Medicare Carrier.
2. Medigap - I understand that if a MediGap policy or other health insurance is indicated in Item 9 of the HCFA 1500 form
or elsewhere on other approved claim forms, my signature authorizes release of the information to the insurer or agency
shown. I request that payment of authorized secondary insurance benefits be made on my behalf to ESI, if possible or
otherwise to me.
3. Release of Information - ESI may disclose all or any part of my medical record and/or financial ledger, including
information regarding alcohol or drug abuse, psychiatric illness, communicable disease, or HIV, to any person or
corporation (1) which is or may be liable or under contract to ESI for reimbursement for services rendered and (2) any
health care provider for continued patient care. ESI may also disclose on an anonymous basis any information
concerning my case, which is necessary or appropriate for the advancement of medical science, medical education,
medical research, for the collection of statistical data or pursuant to State or Federal law, statute or regulation. A copy of
this authorization may be used in place of the original.
4. Other Insurance - I understand that ESI may contract with other insurance providers.. The undersigned agrees that I
am individually obligated to pay the full charges of all services rendered to me by ESI if I belong to a plan that ESI does
not contract with.
5. Non-Covered Services - I understand that ESI's contracts with health care service plans (i.e., HMOs, PPOs) relate only
to items and services which are "covered" by the health care service plans. Accordingly, the undersigned accepts full
financial responsibility for all items or services, which are determined by the health care service plans not to be covered.
Examples of non-covered services include, but are not limited to, services not specified as being covered in the patient's
contract with a health care service plan or in the benefit summary the health care service plan furnishes to the patient;
and treatment or tests not authorized by the health care service plan. The undersigned agrees to cooperate with ESI to
obtain necessary health care service plan authorizations.
6. Financial Agreement - I agree that in return for the services provided to the patient by ESI, I will pay my account at the
time service is rendered or will make financial arrangements satisfactory to ESI for payment. If an account is sent to an
attorney for collection, I agree to pay collection expenses and reasonable attorney's fees as established by the court and
not by a jury in any court action. I understand and agree that if my account is delinquent, I may be charged interest at the
legal rate. Any benefits of any type under any policy of insurance insuring the patient, or any other party liable to the
patient, is hereby assigned to ESI. If co-payments and/or deductibles are designated by my insurance company or health
plan, I agree to pay them to ESI. However, it is understood that the undersigned and/or the patient are primarily
responsible for the payment of my bill.
