The physicians of Colorado Center for Digestive Disorders provide medical services in good faith with the expectation they will receive payment for those services from their patients.
In order to clarify our position with regard to receiving payment, we have provided this information to outline our financial policy as they relate to and the complexities of medical health insurance.
Your Medical Insurance:
| Your medical insurance policy is a
contract between you and the insurance carrier. Colorado Center for Digestive Disorders is not a party to that contract.
Your coverage, the requirements for pre-authorization,
pre-certification, second surgical opinions, deductibles,
co-payments and co-insurance are all defined in your policy.
You are responsible for reading, understanding, and following
the procedures outlined in your policy handbook. We will be
happy to assist you when and where we can with specific
questions and concerns. Your employer or the federal
government determines the range of benefits eligible to
you. |
Who is Responsible?
| You are responsible for all charges,
whether they are incurred in the hospital, office or an
ambulatory surgery center from the date of service. As a
courtesy, we will file all claims for our service with your
primary insurance company. If you have secondary insurance, we
will automatically file a claim with them as well. Once we
know your insurance has been paid in full, the remaining
portion of the bill is then transferred to a patient payment
responsibility category. Accurate, up to date
information is the patient's responsibility. Inaccurate
information will result in difficulty with our assistance to
you. This may result in our request for immediate
payment. |
