Copyright 2000-2012 Theodore Benderev, M.D. Version 7.5 A MESSAGE TO OUR PATIENTS ABOUT ARBITRATION
You will be asked to sign an arbitration agreement when you come to our office. By signing this agreement, we are agreeing that any dispute arising out of the medical services you receive is to be resolved in binding arbitration rather than a suit in court. Lawsuits are something that no one anticipates and everyone hopes to avoid. We believe the method of resolving disputes by arbitration is one of the fairest systems for both patients and physicians. Arbitration agreements between health care providers and their patients have long been recognized and approved by California courts. By signing this agreement you are changing the place where your claim will be presented. You still can call witnesses and present evidence. Each party selects an arbitrator (party arbitrators), who then select a third, neutral arbitrator. These three arbitrators hear the case. This agreement generally helps to limit the legal costs for both patients and physicians. This is because the time it takes to conduct an arbitration hearing is far less than a jury trial. Further, both parties are spared some of the rigors of trial and the publicity, which may accompany judicial proceedings. Our goal, of course, is to provide medical care in such a way as to avoid any such dispute. We know that most problems begin with communication. Therefore, if you have any questions about your care, please ask. Copyright 2000-2012 Theodore Benderev, M.D. Version 7.5 THEODORE V. BENDEREV, M.D.
FINANCIAL POLICIES

We welcome you to our office. We are able to concentrate on the practice of medicine and
provide quality care by having our financial policies understood by our patients and by avoiding
confusion or misunderstandings.
Filing insurance claims is a courtesy extended to our patients and is not a guarantee of
payment. We will bill insurance claims with a maximum of two insurance carriers per
patient. It is important to emphasize that your insurance is a contract between you and the
insurance carrier. Insurance plans and contracts change constantly. It is your
responsibility to contact your insurance company and verify your benefits and verify that
your doctor is a contracted provider in your network PRIOR to your visit. You will be
financially responsible for the services rendered if we have not been paid by your insurance
carrier within 45 business days. _________ (patient’s initials)
Drs. Benderev is a participating physician with Medicare and accepts assignment for all covered Medicare
services. Medicare pays 80% of approved charges and the patient is responsible for the other 20%, after
the annual deductible is met. Our office staff will bill secondary insurance if the responsible party has
given permission to the insurance company to have the payment sent to us.
Dr. Benderev is not a participating physician with Medi-Cal and therefore, cannot accept Medi-Cal
insurance (including retro-active Medi-Cal coverage). For patients without insurance plans or for patients
that are unable to provide an insurance card verifying current coverage, we require payment at the time
services are rendered. If you do not have insurance or your insurance company does not pay for services
rendered it is the patient’s responsibility for payment in full. This also applies to patients requesting
services that have insurance plans with which we are not contracted, (e.g., out-of-network coverage).
______ (patient’s initials)

All services rendered by Dr. Benderev that is not a covered benefit of your insurance policy is your
responsibility to pay. Any patient that is seen or treated without proper authorization from their insurance
carrier is responsible for the full charge of the services rendered if no payment is authorized retrospectively.
All monies owed by the patient (e.g. co-payments, deductibles, required “out-of-pocket” amounts, non-
covered services and co-insurance amounts) are due at the time services are rendered. _________
(patient’s initials)
If your account is placed with a collection agency, due to non-payment, you will be responsible for any
additional charges this may incur, including a monthly interest and penalty fee, collection agency fees,
attorney fees, court fees, and any other fees associated in collecting the balance due. _________
(patient’s initials)
While we understand there may be times when our patients need to cancel their appointments, we have
found it necessary to implement a “Cancellation and No-Show Policy”. Any patient who fails to arrive for
a scheduled appointment without canceling the appointment at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time is
considered a “no-show.” A no-show patient scheduled for an office visit may be charged $40.00. A no-
show patient scheduled for a procedure or diagnostic test may be charged $100.00. No-show charges are
not billable to your insurance company and are your responsibility to pay. _________ (patient’s initials)
We are willing to work with any patient requesting a financial payment plan. There will be a $45 charge
for each check that is returned for insufficient funds.
We hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to ask our office staff if you require any
further assistance.

Copyright 2000-2012 Theodore Benderev, M.D. Version 7.5 PRECAUTIONS FOR SURGERY


All patients anticipating surgical procedures must stop taking aspirin and aspirin products as well
as ibuprophen for 10-14 days prior to procedure. These drugs and other nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs are anticoagulants (blood thinners) which can cause bleeding problems
during and following the procedure.
THE FOLLOWING COMPOUNDS ARE TO BE AVOIDED: FOR 10 TO 14
DAYS PRIOR TO SURGERY.
(Contact your general physician if there is any question whether you need the medicine.) ALSO AVOID “HERBAL” COMPOUNDS PRIOR TO SURGERY.
A number of herbal remedies have side effects that could complicate surgical procedures by inhibiting blood clotting, affecting blood pressure, or interfering with anesthetics. Ginkgo biloba, feverfew, garlic, ginger, and ginseng have all been shown to interfere with the function of platelets - necessary for clotting. The use of herbal preparations in the United States has risen dramatically over the past decade. Although we do not have the exact rate of complications form herbs, the potential for them to cause a problem is real. Copyright 2000-2012 Theodore Benderev, M.D. Version 7.5 SHAVING / CLIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE DAY OF VASECTOMY
On the day of the procedure you should (shave or) preferably
clip the hair
at the bottom 2 inches of the penis and
the top/front of the scrotum.
PLEASE CLIP OR SHAVE ON THE DAY OF THE PROCEDURE,
NOT THE NIGHT BEFORE.
ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR AN ATHLETIC
SUPPORTER OR TIGHT BRIEFS
WHEN YOU COME FOR YOUR PROCEDURE.
