There is no Demand for Arbitration form. If you want, a letter to Kaiser is sufficient. Include the words “Demand for Arbitration.” Rules 7 and 8 in the OIA Rules provide information about the contents of a Demand for Arbitration and the correct names of the Kaiser entities. Rules 7 and 8 are set out below:
7. Contents of the Demand for Arbitration
The Demand for Arbitration shall include the basis of the claim against the Respondent(s); the amount of damages the Claimant(s) seeks in the Arbitration; the name, address and telephone number of the Claimant(s) and their attorney, if any; and the name of all Respondent(s). Claimant(s) shall include all claims against Respondent(s) that are based on the same incident, transaction, or related circumstances in the Demand for Arbitration.
