FOR LANDMARK HEALTHPLAN ENROLLEES ONLY:
Terms and conditions of enrollment are described in your Landmark Health Plan of California, Inc. (the “Plan”) Combined Evidence of Coverage and Disclosure Form, and the Group Agreement between the Plan and your Employer Group.
In the event that this application for coverage is accepted, I authorize my health care practitioner, as permitted by law, to provide the Plan with information concerning the health condition or treatment of any enrollee named above, as required for the Plan to authorize o r pay for covered services provided by such practitioner.
I further authorize the Plan and any other health care plan through which I and/or my dependents have coverage to release any information to one another that would be necessary to coordinate benefits between o r among the plans.
With regard to the authorizations above, I agree that a copy of this form shall be valid as the original.
I agree and understand that any and all disputes, including claims relating to the delivery of services under the plan and claims of medical malpractice (that is as to whethe r any medical services rendered under the health plan were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered), except for claims subject to ERISA, between myself and my dependents enrolled in the plan (including any heirs or assigns) and Landmark Health Plan of California, Inc., or any of its parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates shall be determined by submission to binding arbitration. Any such dispute will not be resolved by a lawsuit or resort to court process, except as the federal arbitration act provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. All parties to this agreement are giving up their constitutional right to any such dispute decided in a court of law before a jury, and instead are accepting the use of binding arbitration.
