MODEL LANGUAGE
Proof of Representation
The language below should be used when you, the Medicare beneficiary, want to inform the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) that you have given another individual the authority to represent you and act on your behalf
with respect to your claim for liability insurance, no-fault insurance, or workers’ compensation, including releasing
identifiable health information or resolving any potential recovery claim that Medicare may have if there is a settlement,
judgment, award, or other payment. You are not required to use this model language, but proof of representation must
include the information provided in this model language. Your representative must also sign that he/she has agreed to
represent you. This model language also makes provisions for the information your representative must provide.
Note: If you have an attorney, your attorney may be able to use his/her retainer agreement instead of this language. (If the
beneficiary is incapacitated, his/her guardian, conservator, power of attorney etc. will need to submit documentation other
than this model language.) Please visit https://go.cms.gov/cobro
for further instructions.
