COVERED CALIFORNIA BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
I understand that, if I select a Health Plan that uses mandatory binding arbitration to resolve disputes, I am agreeing to arbitrate claims that
relate to my or a dependent’s membership in the Health Plan (except for Small Claims Court cases and claims that cannot be subject to binding
arbitration under governing law). I understand that any dispute between myself, my heirs, relatives, or other associated parties on the one hand
and the Health Plan, any contracted health care providers, administrators, or other associated parties on the other hand for alleged violation
of any duty arising out of or related to membership in the Health Plan, including , for premises liability, relating to the coverage for, or delivery
of, services or items, or, if I select a Kaiser Permanente Health Plan, including any claim for medical or hospital malpractice (a claim that medical
services were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered), irrespective of legal theory, must be
decided by binding arbitration under California law and not by lawsuit or resort to court process, except as applicable law provides for judicial
review of arbitration proceedings. I agree to give up our right to a jury trial and accept the use of binding arbitration. I understand that the full
arbitration provision is in the Health Plan’s coverage document, which is available for my review.
I am signing this application under penalty of perjury, which means I’ve provided true answers to all of the questions to the best of my
knowledge. I know that I may be subject to penalties under federal law if I intentionally provide false or untrue information.
