VETERANS AND
ACTIVE SERVICE
PACKET – MNPIP
6/1-12/31 2017
WELCOME You have identified yourself as a Veteran or
Active Military seeking enrollment into our
Traumatic Brain Injury program. This short packet contains the most important documents
needed to start your evaluation. In the future, you may be asked to complete additional
documents. Once you have completed this packet please email it back to [email protected]
Mark Gordon, M.D. Millennium Health Centers TBI Program
Instructions for the Military New Patient Information Packet
The NPIP consist of those documents that we need initially to establish a knowledge base of your medical history which will also be used in the interpretation of your laboratory results and for providing a customized treatment protocol and a report. These documents can be filled out on screen and then saved to your computer before attaching to an email or faxing to our office. In the future, we may provide you with additional documents.
The first page following these instructions is an Out of State Disclosure form. This lets you know that we need to have a physician in your state to write any of the prescription medications we recommend. We are presently training physicians in other states to provide assessment for TBI. Please make sure that you put your name on each space that asks for it and fill out the NPIP to the best of your ability.
Another page is the credit card authorization form which needs to be completed for us to enroll you in the program and to arrange for your blood draw. We are a cash only facility and do not have an insurance department nor do we, at this time, accept cases on contingency.
The remaining documents are import medical history questionnaires. These will act as a record of your baseline which will be assessed repetitively throughout your treatment protocol. You will also fill out a” History of Injury” report. If there have been multiple traumas or injuries in the past please indicate them in the “Summation of Injuries”, and only fully report on the case(s) under litigation. Please be as concise as possible.
Finally, please use the www.TBIMedlegal.com website to obtain answers and information on the most commonly asked questions or requested information. If you cannot find the answers, please email the office in lieu of calling. Once you have submitted your completed New Patient Information Packet (NPIP2017), someone in the office will call you at which time you can clarify any issues. Please be advised that there is a waiting list and backlog of patients requesting services. We are trying to minimize waiting time so if your NPIPL is complete and we can accept you into the program you will be notified within 3 business days.
Email and Fax to use: [email protected] or fax (818-990-2841) to us as indicated on subsequent pages.
I look forward to reviewing your results with you soon.
All the best

Medical Services Agreement (MediCare)
__________________________________(PATIENT) and The Millennium Health Group (PHYSICIAN) hereby enter into this
agreement for provision of medical services specified herein ("Services"). Wherefore, in exchange for consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the, PATIENT and PHYSICIAN agree as follows:
1. The PATIENT acknowledges and agrees that this agreement has been entered into before the PHYSICIAN has provided the
services specified herein to the PATIENT.
2. The Millennium Health Group and its PHYSICIANS are only responsible for the evaluation and prescription of hormone
replacement therapy when indicated by appropriate laboratory testing. All laboratory tests can be billed separately by the
laboratory performing those services or else the patient May request to pay a discounted fee.
3. The PATIENT acknowledges and agrees that this agreement has not been entered into at a time when the PATIENT is facing
an emergency or an urgent health care situation.
4. The services to be provided to the PATIENT consist of performing diagnostic tests and providing assessment of their chemical
and hormonal status. All laboratory tests have an interpretation fee and report fee added to their cost.
5. [ ]* The PATIENT agrees not to request that a health insurance claim form be submitted in their behalf under the
Social Security Act (MEDICARE) for the services, even if such services are otherwise covered under health insurance
or MEDICARE.
6. The PATIENT agrees to be responsible for the SERVICES. Although hormone replacement therapy is medically beneficial,
insurance companies have not yet accepted this position. At this point in time, neither insurance companies nor MEDICARE
will reimburse for preventive care or anti-aging/hormone-balancing replacement therapy. As a result of this, medical records
will not be provided to any insurance company or MEDICARE. The United States Department of Health and Human Services,
Office of Inspector General take the position that a PHYSICIAN who orders "medically unnecessary" tests may be subject to
civil penalties. Because of this, it is the policy of this office not to fill out any insurance benefit claim forms or provide a letter
of medical necessity. The Health Insurance and Reform Act of 1997 allows the Federal Government to investigate what they
may determine is "health insurance fraud" or any medical treatment not deemed "medically necessary" by the Federal
Government. Even though the use of human growth hormone in adults has been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration, it has not been recognized by the Federal Government as "medically necessary" and therefore, could, be
interpreted as fraudulent.
7. The PATIENT acknowledges that health insurance companies or "Medigap plans" (42 U.S.C., section 1882) will not provided
reimbursement, for the SERVICES and that no fee limits (including those specified in 42 U.S.C., Section 1395a-1848g) will
apply to the amounts PHYSICIANS charge for their SERVICES.
8. The PATIENT acknowledges that PATIENT has the right to have services provided by other PHYSICIANS for whom payment
may be made under health insurance plans or MEDICARE.
9. [ ]* By signing this agreement, the PATIENT understands that they are foregoing their rights to receive
insurance/MEDICARE benefits for the SERVICES, but that PATIENT is not forfeiting all health insurance benefits
for other services from other health insurance/MEDICARE providers.
