I understand that Pafford will file my ambulance insurance claim for me and will collect payment for itself using all of my health insurance policies, plans or programs up to the amount of Pafford’s charges to the covered person. Any insurance payment I receive related to Pafford’s services will be immediately delivered to Pafford. I request that payment of Authorized Medicare benefits be made on my behalf to Pafford for any ambulance services provided to me by Pafford.
