2 Patient s Name: (First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name) Patient Account #: EAST JEFFERSON GENERAL HOSPITAL Financial Responsibility Notice (Non-Medicare/Medicaid Covered Patients) Thank you for choosing East Jefferson Physicians Group for your healthcare needs. Please review the following notice and sign below to indicate you have read, understand and accept responsibility to pay any charges not paid by your health plan. 1. Unless arrangements have been made in advance, co-payments, co-insurance, and any outstanding balances are expected at the time of service. 2. Any check returned from the bank will result in an additional $25.00 charge that will appear on your account. 3. Patient accounts not paid promptly are subject to third party collections and/or legal procedures. 4. If your insurance carrier has not responded to a claim within 45 days, we reserve the right to formally transfer all associated liability for the claim to you. Failure to promptly resolve this balance may result in third party collection and/or legal procedures to be taken. 5. Your health insurance contract is between you and your insurance company. Any complaints regarding your coverage should be directed to your carrier. If you have obtained health insurance, your insurer may pay some or all of those charges on your behalf, depending upon the coverage you purchased. Pre-authorization by your health plan is not necessarily a guarantee of payment. Plans review the claim to determine eligibility and benefits for the services before payment is made. 6. Each health plan establishes its own rules and definitions of what is medically necessary or reimbursement by the plan and what is excluded from coverage. This may not be consistent with your expectations or reimbursement from prior visits and may not have been communicated to us or to you before your services are rendered. Accordingly, your health plan may or may not pay for all services you receive. 7. We will submit a claim on your behalf and advise if your health plan determines some or all of your care or testing is not eligible for coverage. You are financially responsible for charges your health plan determines are not covered. 8. Your health plan may also determine that your plan requirements were not met or that an approved provider of service was not used. You are welcome to receive care or testing, however if your health plan reduces or denies benefits because the provider you see is not a participating provider with your health plan, you will be financially responsible. 9. You are responsible for notifying our office of any change in name, address, phone or insurance information. Patient/Guarantor Signature Clinic Representative Date

We are required by law to: make sure that medical information that identifies you is treated confidentially give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your medical information follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect. WHO WILL FOLLOW THIS NOTICE All (MPSI) employees and volunteers. Physicians with privileges at MPSI including contract physicians and other health care professional contract services including but not limited to emergency medicine, pathology, anesthesiology, radiation oncology, radiology, pulmonology and cardiology services. Health care professionals and others who are not employees of MPSI but who are authorized to enter information into the MPSI records system or authorized to use your health information already contained in the MPSI records system for treatment, payment or operations including Business Associates of MPSI. Health records may be created, used and disclosed by your personal doctor and other health care professionals who treat you at MPSI but who are not MPSI employees. These direct care providers have agreed to follow MPSI s privacy practices while you are a patient at MPSI. However they may have different policies regarding use and disclosure of your health information created, used or stored in their personal offices or clinics. HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU The following categories describe different ways we use and disclose medical information. For each category of uses or disclosures we explain what we mean and give some examples. The ways we use and disclose information will fall within one of the categories. For Treatment We will use health information about you to provide medical treatment or services. We will disclose medical information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, students in health care training programs, or other MPSI personnel who are involved in taking care of you. For example, a doctor treating you for flu may need to know if you have other health conditions that need to be considered in your treatment. Also, different departments of MPSI may share your health information in order to coordinate the different things you need, such as prescriptions and lab work. With your permission, we also may disclose your health information to new providers outside MPSI who may be involved in your health care after you leave MPSI, such as home care service or others you chose to provide services. We may also provide your physician or a subsequent healthcare provider with copies of various reports to assist in treating you once you have been discharged from MPSI. For Payment We may use and disclose health information about you so that the treatment and services you receive at MPSI may be billed and payment collected from you, an insurance company or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health insurance plan information about treatment you received at MPSI so your health insurance plan will pay us for the treatment. We also may tell your health plan about a treatment you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the proposed treatment. For Health Care Operations We may use and disclose your health information for MPSI operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run MPSI and to make sure all of our patients receive quality care. This may include an assessment of your satisfaction with our services. For example, we may use medical information to evaluate the performance of our staff in caring for you. We may also combine health information about many MPSI patients to decide what additional services we should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new treatments are effective. We also may disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, students in health care training programs and other MPSI personnel for review and learning purposes. We may remove the information that personally identifies you from this set of health information so others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without knowing anything about you.

MPSI will not condition treatment or payment on your choice with respect to the receipt of fundraising communications. Marketing Except if the communication is in the form of a fact-to-face communication made to you personally, or a promotional gif of nominal value provided by MPSI, your authorization is needed for use or disclosure of your health information for marketing purposes. It is not considered marketing to send you information related to your individual treatment, case management, care coordination or to direct or recommend alternative treatment, therapies, healthcare providers or settings of care. These may be sent without written permission, except your authorization is required if marketing is to result in financial payment or remuneration to MPSI by a third party.

This information may include your name and information related to visiting you and may be released to people who ask for you by name. Your religious affiliation may also be released to members of the clergy, such as a priest, minister or rabbi, who share your religious affiliation.

All research projects are subject to a special approval process. This process evaluates a proposed research project and its use of health information to ensure patient health information is only used and disclosed as necessary for the research project. Normally we use or disclose health information for research only after the project has been approved through the research approval process. However, we may disclose health information about you to researchers to help them identify patients with specific medical needs. In these pre-research actions, we will not allow researchers to copy or otherwise transmit your identifiable health information outside MPSI. In some instances, the law allows us to do some research using your health information without your approval. As Required By Law.
