Bill Payment
The Dental Faculty Practice Clinic accepts cash, checks (with ID), debit cards, and credit cards. We currently do not accept Health First Colorado (formerly Medicaid).
We are also an in-network provider for Delta Dental, but we accept other forms of out-of-network dental insurance as well. We are happy to work with your insurance provider to help you understand your insurance benefits.
Patients are required to pay all fees at the time of their appointment, regardless of insurance status or whether or not the insurance plan covers the services provided. However, we are always available to help you with your insurance claims and paperwork. For your convenience, you can also pay your bill online.
Depending on your treatment, you may receive a bill from CU Medicine, UCHealth (University of Colorado Hospital), and/or the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.

Pay Your Bill
Medical and Dental Insurance
Please bring your medical and dental insurance information to your consultation so you can be reimbursed as quickly as possible. We’ll work with you to maximize your insurance reimbursement for covered procedures.
If you receive medical treatment and/or do not have dental insurance and receive dental treatment, expect to pay out-of-pocket.
Private Insurance
As a courtesy to our patients, we will send a bill to the insurance company. We recommend requesting a pre-determination for treatment above $200. Insurance coverage disputes are between you and your insurance provider; the School of Dental Medicine does not intervene.
The dental and medical benefits plan is based upon a contract between your employer and the insurance company. If you have questions regarding your dental and/or medical benefits, it’s best to contact your employer or insurance company directly. While we will do our best to interpret your benefit plan, we cannot guarantee reimbursement coverage.
Please remember that regardless of your insurance coverage, you are fully responsible for all fees that our office charges. These fees must be paid at the time of your appointment. You must also pay the remaining balance after your insurance has paid its portion.
