Provider: Surgery Consultants of Florida

I, the undersigned patient, hereby instruct my attorney to acknowledge receipt of this Irrevocable Payment Agreement herein referred to as “Agreement”, in favor of Provider to insure that Provider is paid in full for any and all treatment and services provided by it to me, or on my behalf, as a result of the accident that took place on or about the date of loss described above, regardless of the outcome of a trial or what a jury may award me for the injuries that I have suffered. I understand that recovery is often uncertain, owing to the strategies, tactics and opinions offered at trial by defense lawyers who are working for insurance companies with significant resources to combat the reasonable claims brought by me, the injured patient. Provider is acting in reliance on the terms of this agreement for the provision of treatment and services.

Unfortunately, until the at-fault driver, or his/her insurance carrier, (the at-fault insurance company), on the at-fault driver’s behalf, accepts responsibility for the negligent conduct, I have no way to compensate said Provider for the care and treatment that it will provide me under this agreement. Despite the fact that the at-fault driver is insured under a policy of insurance that provides for bodily injury coverage, the at-fault insurance carrier has not fully accepted responsibility for the negligent conduct of their insured. Because of the delay on the part of the at-fault insurance carrier, I hereby request that my attorney protect and pay my outstanding charges, after attorney’s fees and costs, from any settlement or funds received by me, or in my beneficial interest, from any source (BI and/or UM insurance coverage), as compensation for any damages I may have sustained as a result of the events that occurred on or about the date of loss described above. I further authorize my attorney to enter into a different agreement acceptable to my attorney and Provider, but if no agreement is made, then I instruct that this agreement shall be the one in force and instruct my attorney to comply with its terms and conditions. I further instruct that my instructions to attorney herein are irrevocable and shall and are transferable to any future attorney of mine in the event that I change my legal representation in regard to the damages contemplated herein.

The terms of this assignment are as follows:

• This agreement shall not be sold, assigned or transferred except to any future attorney in the event I change legal representation.
• Upon request and periodically, Provider will forward updated bills and medical records to the patient or to the patient’s attorney and not to the Patient, unless requested otherwise in writing.
• Provider shall refrain from any and all collection efforts during litigation.
• If my attorney or representative requests a reduction of any costs or fees payable to Provider, I authorize my attorney or representative to provide said Provider with a copy of the partial closing statement or final closing statement and/or the terms of any negotiation or potential recovery to be obtained in my favor.
• Should Provider or Patient not agree to payment to Provider, and/or Provider and Patient’s attorney, (acting solely on behalf of Patient) cannot effect a compromise, then Patient’s attorney shall deposit funds, in an amount no less than the disputed charges, in the registry of the court for appropriate judicial determination of distribution by a motion for equitable distribution or independent interpleader action.
• It is agreed upon by Provider and Patient that should the foregoing become necessary, Patient’s attorney shall be entitled to recoup any costs incurred, exclusive of attorney’s fees.
• The terms contained herein are accepted as adequate consideration for this agreement by the signatories below.

Florida Statue 456.052 requires that a healthcare provider must advise the patient:

• a) Of their right to choose the medical provider or supplier of any referral services,
• b) Provide its patients with a written disclosure form informing of any investment interest the referring physician may have in the facility that the patient is being referred to;
• c) Provide the patient with the name and address of all applicable entities that the referring physician is an investor in; and
• d) Provide the names and addresses of at least two alternative facilities that can provide the requested referral services.

As of the date of this disclosure, no treating doctors at this facility have any financial interest in any other healthcare facilities that you may be referred to. The part owner of this medical facility, Dr. Gary Kompothecras, does have an investment interest in other medical facilities. Dr. Kompothecras, who is a Chiropractic Physician, does not treat patients at this facility, or make decisions regarding the referral services for its patients. Because Dr. Kompothecras is not engaged in treating patients, this disclosure requirement does not apply to them. Nonetheless, we have provided a list with this disclosure of all medical facilities that he currently has an investment interest in. If your treating doctor ultimately determines that you are in need of referral services and you wish to consider receiving treatment at a facility that he has an investment interest in, we will also provide, with this disclosure, the names and addresses of at least two other alternative facilities that can also provide the requested referral services, in addition to the names of any other facilities that you may obtain on your own.

Patient Acknowledgment: I hereby acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Physician Referral Patient Disclosure and Alternative Treatment Options

By my signature below, I hereby acknowledge that I have received a written disclosure identifying all entities that my health care provider (treating doctor) has an ownership interest in. I also acknowledge receiving a written disclosure by the owner of the facility where I am receiving treatment identifying all entities that he has ownership interest in as well. In addition to receiving a copy of the Related Facility Disclosure of Financial Interest and a Listing of Facilities with Common Ownership, I have also received a Listing of Alternative Facilities with No Common Ownership that can provide the same referral services. After review of the same, and consultation with my treating physician, I have decided to receive referral treatment at the following medical provider:

456.052 Disclosure of financial interest by production.

• (1) A health care provider shall not refer a patient to an entity in which such provider is an investor unless, prior to the referral, the provider furnishes the patient with a written disclosure form, informing the patient of:
  • (a) The existence of the investment interest.
  • (b) The name and address of each applicable entity in which the referring health care provider is an investor.
  • (c) The patient’s right to obtain the items or services for which the patient has been referred at the location or from the provider or supplier of the patient’s choice, including the entity in which the referring provider is an investor.
  • (d) The names and addresses of at least two alternative sources of such items or services available to the patient.
• (2) The physician or health care provider shall post a copy of the disclosure forms in a conspicuous public place in his or her office.
• (3) A violation of this section shall constitute a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. In addition to any other penalties or remedies provided, a violation of this section shall be grounds for disciplinary action by the respective board.

Surgery Consultants does not accept any health insurance, managed care, or Medicare or Medicaid for any medical care, services, supplies or procedures performed in the office, hospital, or an outpatient surgical center.

Prior to signing this document, I have had the opportunity to consider this decision and its effect on my medical bill, as well as my underlying personal injury claim.

However, I choose to have my surgeon, employed by Surgery Consultants, perform the recommended care, treatment, inpatient or outpatient surgery.
