Participant’s SSN, CFAO ID or UBC#
I apply for health plan membership for the persons listed and agree that we shall abide by the provisions of the health maintenance organization
(HMO) service agreement or Indemnity Plan regulations whichever applies. I understand that all claims, including medical malpractice claims, which
arise because I or someone with a relationship to me, believe that some conduct in, or arising from my relationship with the HMO, HMO hospitals,
or the HMO’s medical group as a member or a patient, has caused any harm, must be submitted to binding arbitration instead of a court trial.
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Arbitration Agreement:
I understand that (except for Small Claims Court cases, claims subject to a Medicare appeals procedure or the ERISA
claims procedure regulation, and any other claims that cannot be subject to binding arbitration under governing law) any
dispute between myself, my heirs, relatives, or other associated parties on the one hand and Kaiser Foundation Health
Plan, Inc. (KFHP), 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 KFHP, including any claim for medical or hospital
malpractice (a claim that medical services were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompe-
tently rendered), for premises liability, or relating to the coverage for, or delivery of, services or items, 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 contained in the Evidence of Coverage.
I hereby certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California, that the information given in this form is true, correct, and complete
to the best of my knowledge.
