I authorize payment of medical benefits to the provider for services rendered or to be rendered in the future, without obtaining my signature on each claim submitted, and the signature will bind me as though I personally signed the claim. I also authorize the release of any medical information necessary . I UNDERSTAND AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES. If this account should be referred to a collection agency, I will be responsible for any collection and/or legal fees. I have read and understand the office policy and procedure.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES

I acknowledge that I have received a copy of CATALINA DERMATOLOGY'S "Notice of Privacy Practices." This Notice describes how CATALINA DERMATOLOGY may use and disclose my protected health information, certain restrictions on the use and disclosure of my healthcare information and rights I may have regarding my protected health information.

PATIENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT

Thank you for choosing Catalina Dermatology as your healthcare provider!

The medical services you seek here imply an obligation on your part to ensure payment in full is made for services you receive. This Patient Financial Responsibility Agreement will assist you in understanding that financial responsibility.

Consent: I consent to treatment and services ordered by my Physician or Physician Assistant at Catalina Dermatology. I understand my healthcare provider may perform medically necessary services, as well as “elective” services, according to current standard of care guidelines. I do have the right to consider or decline services prior to them being performed. My consent to undergo treatment and/or services will be considered a non-verbal agreement to pay for the services provided to me.

Responsibility: I understand that I am ultimately responsible for all payment obligations arising out of my treatment and care and I guarantee payment for these services. I am responsible for deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance, or any other patient responsibility amounts indicated by my insurance carrier, pursuant to my particular plan. I am also responsible for any services not covered by my insurance.

Insurance Policy: It is my responsibility to know and understand my insurance policy, both the coverage benefits and the policy limitations. I understand that I am personally responsible for payment when: (i) my health plan requires prior authorization/referral by a primary care physician (PCP) before receiving services, and I have not obtained such an authorization or referral; (ii) I receive services in excess of the authorization/referral; (iii) my health plan determines the services I received are not medically necessary and/or not covered by my insurance plan; (iv) my coverage has lapsed/expired at the time services are rendered; (v) I have chosen to utilized my out-of-network benefits; or (vi) I have chosen not to use my health plan coverage for services I receive.

Payment Arrangements: Whether I have insurance or I am self-pay, payment of my account balance is due within ten (10) days of receipt of my billing statement. I understand if I need to make special payment arrangements, I may contact the billing staff to arrange a mutually agreeable payment plan. I agree to make payments on this plan pursuant to the plan agreement until my account is paid in full. If my account is over sixty (60) days past due, my account will be in default and may be referred to a collection agency or attorney.

Payments Accepted: I understand that I can make payments by check, cash, money order, debit card or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover).

Payment by Check: If my check payment is returned or declined for any reason, my account will be charged a surcharge of $35.00 in addition to any costs assessed or charged by the bank. After two (2) returned checks have been received by Catalina Dermatology, my personal checks will no longer be accepted and I will be responsible for using another method of payment.

Non-Payment on Account: Should collection proceedings or other legal action become necessary to collect my overdue or delinquent account, I understand Catalina Dermatology has the right to disclose to an outside collection agency or attorney all relevant personal and account information necessary to collect payment for services rendered. I am responsible for all costs of collection, including, but not limited to: (i) late fees and charges and interest due as a result of such delinquency; (ii) interest of 18% per year accrued on the principal balance owing; and (iii) all attorney/court costs and fees incurred in the collection process. I acknowledge that if my account is referred to a collection agency or attorney, or when the past due status is reported to a credit reporting agency, it may have an adverse impact on my credit history. Once my account is placed with a collection agency or attorney, I am responsible for communicating with their offices for payment. I may lose my ability to be seen at Catalina Dermatology as a result of my account being sent to a collection agency or attorney.

Minor Patients: The parent/guardian presenting with a minor for care is the responsible party for the payment of the minor’s account balance regardless of any court order or arrangement to which the parents may have agreed. Catalina Dermatology will not act as administrator to resolve financial agreements.

Authorization to Contact: I authorize Catalina Dermatology, or any collection agency or attorney hired by Catalina Dermatology, to communicate with me by mail, answering machine message, text message or email. I may be contacted for purposed related to my account, including debt collection, using any information I have provided, including contact information, email addresses, cell phone numbers, and landline numbers. I authorize Catalina Dermatology to use this information in any manner consistent with the information I have provided, including mail, telephone calls, e-mails, or text messages. I expressly understand that this contact may result in charges to me and may include the use of text message, automated dialing machines or other telephone technology, including the use of live, pre-recorded or artificial voice messages.

Acknowledgement: I understand I am ultimately responsible for payment of services I receive at Catalina Dermatology, regardless of my health insurance coverage. I understand that Catalina Dermatology will not act as administrator to resolve my personal financial agreements in regard to my medical care. I have had the opportunity to read this Patient Financial Responsibility Agreement in its entirety and have had the opportunity to ask questions regarding the details of this Agreement. Any questions have been answered to my satisfaction.

I consent and agree to the aforementioned policies of Catalina Dermatology and understand they may be altered without notice.

CANCELLATION AND NO SHOW POLICY
