Section 1: Policy/Certificate Holder Information
The policyholder gives name, policy or certificate numbers, date of birth, age, gender, the last four digits of the Social Security number, address, email and phone. If the claim is for someone other than the policyholder, check Yes, mark the relationship (spouse, domestic partner or civil union partner, child or stepchild) and enter the dependent's name, other names used, date of birth, last four Social Security digits and contact details.
Section 2: Accident Information
The claimant records the accident date, the date of the initial exam and the medical provider's name and address, then answers whether the same kind of injury happened before, whether it occurred at work, whether workers' compensation covers it and whether it was sport related. Hospital, ICU and rehabilitation hospital stays each need the facility name and admission and discharge dates, followed by any ground or air ambulance transport and a brief description of how the accident happened and the injury sustained.
Section 3: Attending Physician Statement, Describe the Condition
Enter the claimant's name, date of birth and claim or policy number if available, then the primary diagnosis and other conditions with ICD 9/10 codes. Mark whether the condition is a sickness or an injury and give the date symptoms first appeared, the accident date and the date the claimant first consulted you. Answer whether the patient had the same or a similar condition before and whether it arose from employment. Pregnancy fields cover due and delivery dates, delivery type, complications and NICU admission.
Treatment Required
Give the first, most recent and next consultation dates and the release date, plus the date a sickness was first diagnosed. For diagnostic testing, list the tests and dates and include supporting documentation of the results. Record any surgical or medical procedure with its date and procedure code, any hospitalization with admission and discharge dates and the hospital, and the current treatment plan. The continued page adds office or urgent care and emergency room visits, each with date, facility and nature of treatment.
Section 3 continued: job duties, restrictions and limitations
State whether the patient is unable to perform their job duties and, if so, the total disability dates from and through. Give the expected dates for resuming part-time or partial duties and full-time or full duties. Mark the restrictions and limitations as temporary, with how long, or permanent, and describe the current restrictions. These answers document any time the patient was unable to work because of the accident.
Attending Physician Verification
The physician certifies awareness that it is a crime to fill out the form with facts known to be false or to leave out relevant and important facts, and that the answers are true, complete and correctly recorded. Sign and date, then print your name and add specialty, phone, address, fax, license number and email. Combined cannot accept a claim unless every applicable signature box is signed and dated.
Section 4: Authorization to Obtain and Disclose Information
The claimant, or a parent or guardian, signs and dates this authorization, which lets Combined and its affiliate ACE Property & Casualty obtain information from prescription drug databases, all health care providers, the employer, other insurers and the MIB. Listed records include history of present illness, consultant and pathology reports, x-ray and lab results, daily doctor's notes and discharge summaries. It expires 24 months after signing and may be revoked in writing. A legal representative attaches documentation of legal status.
Sections 5 to 7: Electronic Consent, Fraud Warnings and Required Signature of Claimant
Section 5 is returned only if the policyholder wants electronic payment and documents, and both of its pages must be included; for a paper check it is left out. Section 6 lists the state fraud warnings. In Section 7 the claimant signs and dates a declaration that all answers are true and complete. Anyone signing as power of attorney, guardian or conservator attaches the document granting that authority.
