Which block would you check to indicate acceptance of assignment of benefits?

• A. Block 25
• B. Block 26
• C. Block 28
• D. Block 27

Answer: (B)

Indicating acceptance of assignment of benefits is about who will receive the payment for the services. When a patient assigns benefits to the provider, the payer should pay directly to the provider rather than to the patient. In this form version, that indication is made in Block 26. By checking Block 26, you’re communicating to the insurer that the patient has authorized the assignment of benefits to the provider, which directs the payment accordingly. This helps ensure the claim is processed with direct payment to the provider and reduces delays or extra steps for the patient.
