In the event the insurance carrier responsible for making medical payments in this matter does not accept my assignment, or my assignment is challenged or deemed invalid, I execute this limited/special power of attorney and appoint and authorize your collection attorney as my agent and attorney to collect payment for your medical services directly against the carrier in this case, in my name, including filing an arbitration demand or lawsuit. I specifically authorize that attorney to file directly against that carrier in my name or in your name as a medical provider rendering services to me and designate your collection attorney as my attorney-in-fact. I further grant limited power of attorney to you as my medical provider to receive and collect directly from the insurance carrier money due you for services rendered to me in this matter, and hereby instruct the insurance carrier to pay you directly any monies due you for medical services you rendered to me. I authorize you and or your attorney to receive from my insurer, immediately upon verbal request, all information regarding last payment made by said insurer on my claim, including date of payment and balance ofbenefits remaining.
I authorize you and or your attorney to obtain medical information regarding my physical condition from any other health care provider, including hospitals, diagnostic centers, etc., and I specifically authorize such health care provider(s) to release all such information to you about me, including medical reports, X-ray reports, narrative reports, and any other report or information regarding my physical condition.
If you, my medical provider, initiates a collection proceeding against me, whether through litigation, arbitration or otherwise, in connection with any and all claims unreimbursed and/or under-reimbursed by my insurance carrier, I agree to pay any and all of my medical provider’s attorneys’ fees and court fees in connection with that proceeding.
