  • Indigency Policy & Agreement

  • Our indigency discount is no different than all PPO discounts from BCBS or all other commercial insurers in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws with respect to indigency assistance without any routine waiver of cost sharing, advertising, or solicitation, for underinsured or uninsured patients. Once indigency is determined, collection is no longer undertaken with regard to the patient for the forgiven amount without waiving any patient financial and legal obligation or responsibility to the provider’s actual total charges AND patient’s right and eligibility, assigned to the provider, to claim for reimbursement, under the health plan coverage, based on the provider’s actual total and reasonable charges in accordance with Provider’s Corporate Indigency Policy, as the Indigency determination itself is a good effort to collect, and hospitals or doctors are NOT required under any federal or state laws, Medicare, ERISA & PPACA, to take low-income, medically indigent, uninsured or underinsured patients to court, garnish their wages, or seize their homes, or send claims out to a collection agency when those patients don’t or can’t pay their hospital or doctor bills.

     

    In consideration of my particular medical needs and care expenses to be incurred solely based on such medical needs, and my financial ability to pay for such recommended medical services without or even with applicable insurance coverage, and with understanding and agreement that I am personally financially and legally obligated to and responsible for any and all professional actual total charges regardless of any applicable insurance coverage, I hereby declare that I have financial difficulty to pay for part or all expenses because of the following:


    Please check the applicable circle below:

    e         


    More importantly, I declare that without following indigent assistance, seeking for and continuing with medically appropriate and important health care would be impossible for me or would make indigent if I were forced to pay full charges for my medically necessary care expenses. I also declare that I personally requested for such indigent assistance only after I was fully informed of my important medical treatment options and necessity solely based on my particular medical needs and availability of this provider Indigency Policy:

     

    “Nothing in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) regulations, Provider reimbursement Manual, or Program Instructions prohibit a healthcare provider from waiving collection of charges to any patients, Medicare or non-Medicare, including low-income, uninsured or medically indigent individuals, if it is done as part of the healthcare provider indigency policy.”

     

    “By “indigency policy,” we mean a policy developed and utilized by a healthcare provider to determine patients’ financial ability to pay for services. By “medically indigent,” we mean patients whose health insurance coverage, if any, does not provide full coverage for all of their medical expenses and that their medical expenses, in relationship to their income, would make them indigent if they were forced to pay full charges for their medical expenses.”


    I specifically request under this provider indigency policy for the following indigent discount assistance for the specific time periods from   Pick a Date  to   Pick a Date   


    Please check the applicable boxes below:

    CONSENT TO REPRESENTATION IN APPEALS OF UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT DETERMINATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION FOR RELEASE OF MEDICAL RECORDS IN UM APPEALS AND INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS
  • APPEALS OF UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT DETERMINATIONS


    You have the right to ask your insurer, HMO or other company providing your health benefits (carrier) to change its utilization management (UM) decision if the carrier determines that a service or treatment covered under your health benefits plan is or was not medically necessary.[1] This is called a UM appeal. You also have the right to allow a doctor, hospital or other health care provider to make a UM appeal for you.  

    There are three appeal stages if you are covered under a health benefits plan issued in New Jersey. Stage 1: the carrier reviews your case using a different health care professional from the one who first reviewed your case. Stage 2: the carrier reviews your case using a panel that includes medical professionals trained in cases like yours. Stage 3: your case will be reviewed through the Independent Health Care Appeals Program of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) using an Independent Utilization Review Organization (IURO) that contracts with medical professionals whose practices include cases like yours. The health care provider is required to attempt to send you a letter telling you it intends to file an appeal before filing at each stage. 

    At Stage 3, the health care provider will share your personal and medical information with DOBI, the IURO, and the IURO’s contracted medical professionals. Everyone is required by law to keep your information confidential. DOBI must report data about IURO decisions, but no personal information is ever included in these reports.

    You have the right to cancel (revoke) your consent at any time. Your financial obligation, IF ANY, does not change because you choose to give consent to representation, or later revoke your consent. Your consent to representation and release of information for appeal of a UM determination will end 24 months after the date you sign the consent.


    INDEPENDENT ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS


    Your health care provider has the right to take certain claims to an independent claims arbitration process through the DOBI. To arbitrate the claim(s), the health care provider may share some of your personal and medical information with the DOBI, the arbitration organization, and the arbitration professional(s). Everyone is required to keep your information confidential. The DOBI reports data about the arbitration outcomes, but no personal information will be in the reports. Your consent to the release of information for the arbitration process will end 24 months after the date you sign the consent.


    CONSENT TO REPRESENTATION IN UM APPEALS AND AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE OF INFORMATION IN UM APPEALS AND ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS

     

    I,        ,by marking  (√)   (or  x  ) and signing below, agree to:
