TriWest / VA now requires "Assignment of Benefits / Signature on File"

The easiest way to do this is as a new "Consent Document."

Settings / Client Communication / Client Portal / Shared Documents and Files / +Consent Document.

Make sure it's Defaulted to "yes" if you want all new clients to get it. It's only required by TriWest, but is actually beneficial to receive from everyone in Medicare / VA / Active Duty.

Under all existing (TriWest or all) clients' profiles, click on the "Share" button in the upper right-hand corner.

This form captures the signature and date and puts it right into the chart under "Uploaded Files" in case you are audited by TriWest or required to provide it to anyone.

I authorize the release of any and all medical or other information necessary to determine these benefits or the benefits payable for related equipment or services to the organization, the Health Care Financing Administration, my insurance carrier and/or other medical entity. A copy of this authorization will be sent to the Health Care Financing Administration, my insurance company and/or other entity, if requested or required.

I understand that by signing this form, I am accepting financial responsibility as explained above for all payments for all products and services received.
