Health insurance coverage is not a guarantee of payment. The ABN states that in the event your insurance carrier declines to pay for the medical services provided, you agree to be responsible for payment. We must have a waiver from you guaranteeing payment in order to provide you with medical services. You have the right to decline the services and need not sign the waiver. However, in order to receive certain medical services, you are required to sign this waiver to satisfy regulatory requirements.
