Pay Your Bill
Medical and Dental Insurance
Depending on the type of treatment you receive, either your medical or dental insurance will be billed. 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 do not have medical insurance and 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 benefit 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 actual 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 are also required to pay the remaining balance after your insurance has paid its portion.
Health First Colorado/Medicare/Tricare
We currently accept Health First Colorado (formerly Medicaid), Medicare, and Tricare. Insurance co-payments will be collected at the time services are provided. Applicable waivers will be provided for signatures at your appointment. Medicaid patients must present their Medicaid identification card at the beginning of each visit in order to meet Colorado eligibility requirements.
