Disclosure Required

50-4-108. Disclosure required. A direct patient care agreement must prominently display a written disclaimer that is either printed on or accompanies all application and guideline materials distributed by or on behalf of the agreement. The disclaimer must read substantially as follows:

Notice: The organization facilitating the direct patient care agreement is not an insurance company, and the direct patient care company guidelines and agreement operation are not an insurance policy. The agreement does not meet any individual health insurance mandate that may be required by federal law. Participation in the direct patient care agreement or a subscription to any of its documents should not be considered to be a health insurance policy. Regardless of whether you receive treatment for medical issues through the direct patient care agreement, you are always personally responsible for the payment of any additional medical expenses that you may incur.
