ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE BENEFITS AND MEDICAL LIEN
I, the undersigned patient (or guardian), hereby irrevocably assign and transfer to
Mansfield Spinal Care & Rehabilitation ("Practice"), all rights, privileges,
and benefits payable under any automobile insurance policy, personal injury protection (PIP) coverage,
MedPay, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, health insurance, or any other insurance or
third-party benefit plan applicable to the treatment provided for injuries arising out of the
motor vehicle accident described in this form.
Medical Lien (Texas Property Code ยง 55.001 et seq.): I grant the Practice a
lien upon any recovery, settlement, judgment, or verdict I may obtain from any at-fault party,
their insurance carrier, or any other source as a result of this accident, in an amount equal
to the reasonable and customary charges for all medical services rendered by the Practice.
This lien shall attach to any proceeds of any settlement, judgment, or verdict in my favor.
Authorization to Bill and Release Records: I authorize the Practice to submit
claims on my behalf to any applicable insurance carrier and to release any medical records,
reports, narratives, or billing statements necessary to support those claims or to comply with
a subpoena, court order, or written request from my attorney.
Financial Responsibility: I understand that I am personally responsible for
all charges incurred for my care at the Practice, regardless of whether my insurance carrier
pays, whether my attorney obtains a recovery, or whether any claim is disputed or denied.
This assignment does not release me from my personal obligation to pay for services rendered.
Letter of Protection (if applicable): If I am represented by an attorney who
has agreed to guarantee payment from any settlement or judgment proceeds, I authorize my
attorney to honor this lien and direct payment accordingly. I further authorize the Practice
to communicate directly with my attorney regarding outstanding balances.
This assignment shall remain in effect until all charges are paid in full. A photocopy or
electronic copy of this assignment shall be considered as valid as the original. By signing
below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and voluntarily agree to the terms above.
