I understand that the insurance company may mistakenly send me the reimbursement for service rendered instead of sending to the provider. In this case I give the company permission to charge my card on file for the amount the insurance company paid to me for the completed services. If I prefer to use a different form of payment I will provide it to the company within three days of receiving funds from the insurance company.
