Provider-Patient Voluntary Arbitration Agreement
I. Agreement to Arbitrate
e parties to this Provider-Patient Voluntary Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement” )
are _________________________________________________ (insert name of physician)
and ________________________________________________ (insert name of medical group or entity providing
medical services), (collectively, the “Provider”) and the Patient named below. It is understood that any dispute as
to medical malpractice- that is as to whether any medical services rendered or that were failed to be rendered by
the Provider or by any of the Provider’s agents, employees, associates, sta members, partners, ocers, directors,
shareholders, proprietors or equity owners to the Patient were unnecessary or unauthorized, were improperly,
negligently, or incompletely rendered, or the failure to render such services were improper or otherwise negligent-
will be determined by submission to arbitration binding upon the parties and not by a lawsuit or other resort to
court or the judicial process except as state law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings.
e parties recognize that, in Missouri, there is a right to appeal an arbitration award; however, unless there is
evidence of fraud on the part of the arbitrator(s) or a serious procedural defect, an arbitration award pursuant to
this Arbitration Agreement would not be overturned and would be a nal award. e parties to this Arbitration
Agreement, by entering into it, are waiving their constitutional right to have any such dispute decided in a court of
law before a jury or before a judge and instead are accepting the use of arbitration as the appropriate and exclusive
forum to resolve any dispute or controversy between them.

equity owners, employees, representatives, members, duciaries, governing bodies, subsidiaries, parent companies,

corporations, partnerships or other entities with whom any of the former have been, are now or may be aliated
