Assignment of Benefits and Payment

Assignment of Benefits

I hereby irrevocably assign and transfer to Mira Mace any monies or benefits to which I may be entitled, including benefits/monies from governmental payers such as Medicare, my insurance company, HMO, or other third parties who are financially responsible for my medical care (each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”).

I authorize and direct Mira Mace and its physicians, employees, and agents, having treated me, to release to such payers or other third parties who are financially responsible for my medical care, all information needed (including but not limited to medical records, copies of claims and itemized bills) to substantiate payment for my medical care and to permit representatives thereof to examine and make copies of all records relating to such care and treatment.

I also appoint Mira Mace as my authorized representative to pursue all rights of payment, to ascertain the benefits available, to collect benefits directly from my insurance company and to appeal denials and proceed against my insurance company in any action, including legal suit, on my behalf if for any reason my insurance company refuses to pay my claim. The appointment shall include all rights to recover attorney’s fees and costs for such action brought by Mira Mace as my assignee.

I further agree to provide information as necessary and to cooperate with Mira Mace to process and obtain payments. I understand that this document is a direct assignment of my rights and benefits under my Plans.

I request that payment of authorized benefits related to my care be assigned to Mira Mace.
