## 4. Service Limitations and Disclaimers
**No Guarantee of Approval:** While we work diligently to prepare strong cases, we cannot guarantee that insurance companies will approve pre-authorization requests or claims. Approval decisions are made solely by insurance companies based on policy terms, medical necessity, and their internal guidelines.
**Not Insurance Providers:** We are a service provider that assists with insurance processes. We do not issue insurance policies, assume financial liability for medical expenses, or provide medical advice.
**Document Accuracy:** While our AI-powered systems help verify documents, ultimate responsibility for accuracy lies with you. Ensure all uploaded information is correct and complete.
**Hospital Network:** Cashless treatment availability depends on your insurance company's network hospitals. We assist in coordination but cannot guarantee cashless approval at any specific facility.
**Processing Times:** Timelines for pre-authorization, claim processing, and settlement depend on insurance company procedures and case complexity. We provide estimates but cannot control insurer response times.
**Medical Decisions:** We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. All medical decisions should be made in consultation with qualified healthcare professionals.
## 5. Service Fees and Payments
Service fees vary based on:
- Type of assistance required (pre-authorization, claim submission, full case management) - Complexity of the case - Claim amount and processing requirements - Additional services requested
Fees will be communicated clearly before you commit to using our services. Payment terms, refund policies, and cancellation conditions will be specified in your service agreement.
You are responsible for all hospital bills and medical expenses. Insurance claim reimbursements are paid by insurance companies directly to you or the hospital, not through Zion Insurance.
