• RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT: I understand that I am personally financially responsible to CMI and MSN Healthcare Solutions for charges I have incurred that are not covered by the assignment of benefits. Notwithstanding that this bill may be submitted for insurance, patient and his/her legal/authorized representative(s) acknowledge responsibility for the balance shown on the patient statement for services rendered.
• LEGAL: Patient agrees that, in the event proceedings are instituted to collect monies due for services, that the patient waives all jurisdiction and venue requirements, and that venue and jurisdiction hall lie in Oneida County, in either Utica City Court or Supreme Court, or in Herkimer County in the Little Falls County Court or Supreme Court, and if the patient is found liable, also agree to be responsible for reasonable legal fees and costs related to such proceedings.
• PAYMENT @ TIME OF SERVICE (self-pay): I understand that I am required to pay 100% of my charges at time of service, unless I have a medical insurance carrier in which CMI and MSN participates with and can show proof (current valid insurance card) of such coverage or have made other arrangements with CMI and MSN Healthcare Solutions.
• NO FAULT/WORKER’S COMPENSATION: I understand that CMI and MSN Healthcare Solutions will bill NYS No Fault Insurance on my behalf. I understand that CMI and MSN will bill Workers Compensation Insurance on my behalf. If I fail to prosecute this claim or it is denied or disallowed I agree to assume full financial responsibility.
