Assignment of Benefits

Definition:

The patient or guardian signs the Assignment of Benefits form so that the medical provider will receive the insurance payment directly.

Application:

This can be standard procedure for participating providers, however, if you paid for the service up front, do not sign the Assignment of Benefits form because you want the insurance payment mailed directly to you instead of the provider.
