2 CONSENT TO TREATMENT I consent to the examination of my eyes by the physicians of North Dallas Eye Associates. I realize and understand that my eyes may be dilated for the examination. I realize and understand the potential risk to myself and others if I try to drive a vehicle or operate heavy machinery while the dilating drops are affecting my eyes. I realize and understand that the dilating may last from several hours to two days. I realize and understand that I may not be able to read while the dilating drops are affecting my eyes. I realize and understand that the dilating drops may affect my depth perception / ability to judge distances, and that even walking may cause some risk to me as far as judging the distance of things, (i.e. tripping over items or running into things). PAYMENT POLICY AND CONSENT FOR PAYMENT The practice of North Dallas Eye Associates strives to provide comprehensive, ethical and cost-effective eye care for our patients. In order for us to continue this mission, we have instituted the following policy. If you do not understand these policies, please ask our staff to explain before you are seen. 1. We will file insurance only with plans the doctors are contracted with. All insurance co-payment and/or deductible amounts are due at the time of the service. Any disallowed amounts are due from the patient. 2. We will not file insurance for our indemnity patients. Payment is due at time of services. 3. Your insurance policy is a contract between you and your insurance company. It is important that you understand what physician services are and are not covered, before seeing your doctor. There is no guarantee of payment of your claims, by your insurance company. Reduction or rejection of your claim by your insurance company does not relieve the financial obligation you have incurred. If any portion of your claim or any service is not covered by your insurance, you will be responsible. For example, routine eye exams, goniosopy, therapeutic contact lens, fundus photos, or HRT. 4. Referral Authorization for HMO and other managed care plans must be obtained prior to your visit. If a referral is not received at the time of the visit, the patient is responsible for payment when services are rendered. I understand that I am responsible for all charges not paid by my insurance company(ies). I consent to pay for these charges in a timely manner in accordance with office policy. I am also responsible for all charges incurred by the office in collecting on my account if my bill goes unpaid, including but not limited to collection agency fees, attorney fees, and court costs. I authorize the release to my insurance company(ies) any information acquired in the course of my examinations, treatments, or surgeries. I authorize direct payment by my insurance company(ies) to Dr. Ku, Dr. Elieff, Dr. Snook, Dr. Gupta, WSK Eye Associates, P.A., or the North Dallas Eye Associates. I authorize that a copy of the below signature for insurance purposes is a valid as the original. NOTICE REGARDING NONCOVERAGE OF EYE REFRACTION Most insurance companies and Medicare, under section 1862 (a) (1) of the Medicare Law, will not pay for eye refractions (the procedure used to determine eyeglass prescriptions) because it is considered to be a routine service. If you choose to have a refraction performed, we will collect this amount at the time of your visit. I have been notified by the North Dallas Eye Associates that most insurance companies and Medicare will not pay for eye refraction services and agree to be personally responsible for this charge. CERTIFICATION OF INFORMATION Any person knowingly and with intent to defraud or deceive with incomplete or misleading information is guilty of a crime. I hereby certify that the information furnished by me in support of the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

3 NORTH DALLAS EYE ASSOCIATES W. Stephen Ku, M.D. Steven L. Elieff, M.D. Russell W. Snook, M.D. R. Raj Gupta, M.D. Eye Physicians and Surgeons NOTICE REGARDING EYE REFRACTION REFRACTION POLICY REFRACTION is a diagnostic test to determine your best corrected vision. This test can also be used for an EYEGLASS / CONTACT LENS PRESCRIPTION. It is an essential part of an eye examination, but usually NOT a covered service by Medicare or most insurance companies. This test is required by your insurance company as necessary documentation to evaluate for possible CATARACT SURGERY. Our office fee for refraction is $40.00 and this fee is collected in addition to your co-pay at the time of service. We will not file the eye refraction with your insurance company. You may file directly with your insurance company with your check-out receipt. ACKNOWLEDGMENT I have read the above information and understand that the refraction is a non-covered service. I accept full financial responsibility for the cost of this service. The co-pay is separate from, and not included in, the refraction fee.

4 NORTH DALLAS EYE ASSOCIATES W. Stephen Ku, M.D. Steven L. Elieff, M.D. Russell W. Snook, M.D. R. Raj Gupta, M.D. Eye Physicians and Surgeons INSURANCE POLICY We have contracted with many insurance carriers or managed care networks to be providers on their plan. Contractually, both the provider and the patient have certain obligations under these plans. 1. All insurance co-payment and/or deductible amounts are due at the time of the service. We will not bill you for your co-payment. A co-payment will be collected on every visit, even for follow-up visits. 2. We will ask for a copy of your current insurance card at each visit. Insurance companies often have various addresses and phone numbers, and they often change. Giving us a copy of your card at each visit helps us to confirm that all of the important details are correct. If we do not have proof of a valid insurance, we will hold the patient responsible for the full amount of the services. The insurance discounted fees will not be applicable in these circumstances. 3. We charge the insurance carriers our normal fees. We are paid their allowable amounts, and write off the difference between those two amounts as the provider discount. We DO NOT write off amounts that have gone to the deductible, noncovered services, or co-payments. 4. After your insurance company has paid their portion, if there is any amount not covered due to your deductible, non-covered services such as routine care, etc., we will send you a bill for the amount due. We ask that you remit that owed amount upon receipt of the bill. 5. Many insurance plans DO NOT cover ROUTINE or WELLNESS CARE. You need to be aware of your plan s limitations and restrictions. It is not possible for our practice to be aware of all the different benefit plans and restrictions, and we do not have access to the actual policies. In addition, the insurance companies also tell us that verification of benefits does not guarantee payment. 6. There is quite a bit of bureaucracy involved with insurance health plans. There may be certain circumstances where we will ask you to get involved with your insurance carrier by phone to assist us in providing you with the necessary care, or in getting your claim paid. We feel that you, as the policyholder, should have a direct part in this. I have read and understand the above policies, and agree to cooperate and adhere to them.
