HIPAA Policy

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION – Assignment of Benefits

My signature below shall serve as authorization to assign any dental benefits paid by any third-party or insurer to my provider (Bellingham Family Dental - Erin McManus Walsh, D.M.D. PLLC). If I have insurance, I agree to make a payment of my estimated co-payment at the time services are rendered. I understand that estimated co-payments are estimates only, subject to policy maximums, limitations, and coordination of benefit rules.

This office will help prepare insurance forms and assist in making collection from insurance companies: however, payment is ultimately the patient’s sole and exclusive responsibility should the insurer or third-party payer fail, refuse or otherwise neglect to make payment. All collections from third-parties or insurers will be credited to the patient’s account. If I do not have insurance, all fees for services rendered are due on the date of service unless prior arrangements have been made in writing.
