Assignment of Benefits

I request that payment of authorized insurance benefits, including Medicare if I am a Medicare Beneficiary, be made either to me or on my behalf to the organization listed below for any equipment or services provided to me by that organization. I hereby assign and convey directly to the below-named health care provider ("Provider"), as my designated authorized representative, all medical benefits and/or insurance reimbursement, if any, otherwise payable to me for services, treatments, therapies, and/or medications rendered or provided by the Provider, regardless of its managed care network participation status.

I understand that I am financially responsible to the Provider for any charges regardless of health care benefits. It is my responsibility to notify the Provider of any changes in my health care coverage. In some cases exact insurance benefits cannot be determined until the insurance company receives the claim. I am responsible for the entire bill or balance of the bill as determined by the Provider and/or my health care insurer if the submitted claims or any part of them are denied for payment.

I hereby authorize the Provider to release all medical information necessary to process my claims. Further, I hereby authorize my plan administrator fiduciary, insurer, and/or attorney to release to the Provider any and all plan documents, summary benefit description, insurance policy, and/or settlement information upon written request from the Provider or its attorneys in order to claim such medical benefits.

In addition, I also assign and/or convey to the Provider any legal or administrative claim or choose an action arising under any group health plan, employee benefits plan, health insurance or tort feasor insurance concerning medical expenses incurred as a result of the medical services, treatments, therapies, and/or medications I receive from the Provider (including any right to pursue those legal or administrative claims or choose an action). This constitutes an express and knowing assignment of ERISA breach or fiduciary duty claims and other legal and/or administrative claims. I intend by this assignment and designation of authorized representative to convey to the Provider all of my rights to claim (or place a lien on) the medical benefits related to the services, treatments, therapies, and/or mediations provided by the Provider, including rights to any settlement, insurance or applicable legal or administrative remedies (including damages arising from ERISA breach of fiduciary duty claims). The assignee and/or designated representative (Provider) is given the right by me to (1) obtain information regarding the claim to the same extent as me; (2) submit evidence; (3) make statements about facts or law; (4) make any request including providing or receiving notice of appeal proceedings; (5) participate in any administrative and judicial actions and pursue claims or choose in action or right against any liable party, insurance company, employee benefit plan, health care benefit plan, or plan administrator. The Provider as my assignee and my designated authorized representative may bring suit against any such health care benefit plan, employee benefit plan, plan administrator or insurance company in my name with derivative standing at Provider's expense.

Unless revoked, this assignment is valid for all administrative and judicial reviews under PPACA (health care reform legislation), ERISA, Medicare and applicable federal and state laws. A photocopy of this assignment is to be considered valid, the same as if it was the original.

I HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT.

AFFIDAVIT FOR INTOLERANCE TO CPAP

I have attempted to use the nasal CPAP to manage my sleep related breathing disorder (apnea) and find it intolerable to use on a regular basis for the following reasons:

Mask Leaks
An inability to get the mask to fit properly
Discomfort or interrupted sleep caused by the presence of the device
Noise from the device disturbing sleep or bed partner’s sleep
CPAP restricted movements during sleep
CPAP does not seem to be effective
Pressure on the upper lip causes tooth related problems
Latex allergy
Claustrophobic associations
An unconscious need to remove the CPAP apparatus at night

Because of my intolerance/inability to use the CPAP, I wish to have an alternative method of treatment. That form of therapy is oral appliance therapy (OAT).
