Terms and policies Authorizing Release of Information: I authorize UOA, LLC to release any necessary medical records to the appropriate parties (insurance, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) in relation to determining responsibility for medical benefits and obtaining reimbursement for professional services. Professional Fees: I understand that I am financially responsible for any and all charges for professional services, whether or not paid by an insurance carrier or health plan. Exceptions are when patient financial responsibility is limited by statutory regulation (such as authorized Workers' Compensation, Medicare and Motor Vehicle fee schedules) or by managed care (HMO, PPO, etc.) contract. In cases of claims being submitted to my insurance carrier, it is my responsibility to financially cover any deductibles, co-payments and non-covered services as stipulated by my specific insurance plan. I may request that payment of my authorized benefits be made on my behalf and assigned to UOA, LLC. Any payment/explanation of benefits issued directly to me for care received at UOA, LLC must be forwarded to UOA, LLC in a timely fashion for posting of payment and/or appropriate adjustment.
