Financial Payment & Attendance Policy
Financial Payment & Attendance Policy
PolicyThank you for choosing Matthews-Vu Medical Group as your primary care provider. As part ofour commitment to offer quality medical and affordable health care, we are also committed tobuilding a successful provider-patient relationship with you and your family. Your clearunderstanding of our Patient Financial Policy is important to our professional relationship.Please understand that payment for services is part of that relationship. If you have anyquestions about our fees, or your responsibilities, please ask. It is your responsibility to notifyour office of any patient information changes (i.e. address, name, insurance information, etc.)
1. Insurance
Our office participates in most insurance plans. If you are not insured by a plan we have a contract with, you will be responsible for payment for all services. If you are insured by a plan we are contracted with, but don’t have an up-to-date insurance card, you will be responsible for payment for all services until we can verify your coverage. Knowing your insurance benefits is your responsibility. Your insurance benefits is a contract between you and your insurance company; we are not party to that contract. Failure to provide complete insurance information can result in patient responsibility for the entire bill. Please contact your insurance company with any questions you may have regarding your coverage. As a courtesy, we will file all applicable office charges withyour insurance company. Although we may estimate what your insurance company may pay, it is the insurance company that makes the final determination of your eligibility and benefits. If the provider deems medical necessity for certain services/test and the services/tests are not covered or not considered reasonable or necessary by insurers, the patient is financially responsible.
2. Co-payments and deductibles
All co-payments, deductibles and/or co-insurance must be paid at the time of service. We accept Cash, Checks, Master Card, Visa, American Express or Discover. This arrangement is part of your contract with your insurance company. Failure on our part to collect co-payments and deductibles from patients can be considered fraud. Please help us uphold the law by paying your co-payments at each visit. Patients with high deductible health insurance plans will be required to pay a deposit of $70 for each visit (unless you have a letter from your insurance company stating you have reached your deductible). Patients are responsible for working with their insurance company to know if they have reached their deductible. If a patient pays $70 and the insurance company determines the patient has already met this year’s deductible, the business office will issue a refund. If you are not able to pay at the time of service you must call the business office and set up a payment plan prior to your appointment.
3. Self-pay Accounts
Patients without insurance coverage, or patients without an insurance card on file with our practice. It is the patients’ responsibility to know if Matthews-Vu Medical Group participates with their health insurance plan. Self-pay patients will be required to make a deposit of $70 prior to appointment. After the visit, the patient will be required to pay the estimated remaining balance. After the claim has been reviewed by the business office coding team, a final bill will be determined and reconciled against the payment paid at time of service. If a balance is due from patient, the business office will submit a statement to the self-pay patient. If a credit balance is owed to the patient, the business office will issue a refund.
4. Return Checks
The charge for a returned check is $30 payable in cash or credit card. This will be applied to your account in addition to any bank-insufficient-funds charge incurred by the practice. You may be placed on a cash or credit card only basis following any returned check.
5. Outstanding Balance Policy
Patients will receive a monthly statement with any outstanding balance of $5.00 or more. Please be aware that the balance after insurance pays is the patient’s responsibility. If your insurance company does not pay your claim in60 days, the balance may be billed to you. Patients can make payments by paying with check or by going online and using the patient portal to process a credit card payment .Patients can also call the billing office at (719)884-2799 to process a credit card payment over the phone. We accept Checks, Master Card, Visa, American Express or Discover. Ifyour account becomes past due over 60 days, you will receive a phone call. On a case bycase basis, a payment plan can be established with a credit card on file.
6. Nonpayment
If there was no attempt on the patient’s behalf to contact and set up a payment plan, and your account is over 60 days past due, you will receive a letter stating you have 30 days to pay your account in full. Please be aware that if the balance remains unpaid, we may refer your account to a collection agency (patient responsible for collection fees) and you and your immediate family members may be discharged from this practice. If this occurs, you will be notified by regular mail that you have 30 days to find alternative medical care. During that 30-day period, our providers will only be able to treat you on an emergency basis.
7. Late Appointments
Matthews-Vu Medical Group asks all patients to arrive at least 20minutes early for their scheduled appointment. If you arrive 15 minutes after your appointment time, you may be offered another appointment with the same provider or with another provider.
8. Missed Appointments
Matthews-Vu Medical Group requires 24-hour notice for appointment cancellations. Appointments missed that are not previously cancelled maybe charged a fee of $50.00. If we determine a patient is a habitual offender of missed appointments (3 within 12 months), we may request a $50.00 deposit prior to scheduling the next appointment. Patients may also be subject to discharge from the practice following continuity of care guidelines. Please help us to serve you better by keeping your scheduled appointment.

Surprise/Balance Billing Disclosure Form
Surprise/Balance Billing Disclosure Form
Surprise Billing – Know Your Rights
Beginning January 1, 2020, Colorado state law protects you* from “surprise billing,” also known as “balance billing.” These protections apply when:
You receive covered emergency services, other than ambulance services, from an out-of-network provider in Colorado, and/or
You unintentionally receive covered services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility in Colorado
What is surprise/balance billing, and when does it happen?
If you are seen by a health care provider or use services in a facility or agency that is not in your health insurance plan’s provider network, sometimes referred to as “out-of-network,” you may receive a bill for additional costs associated with that care. Out-of-network health care providers often bill you for the difference between what your insurer decides is the eligible charge and what the out-of-network provider bills as the total charge. This is called “surprise” or “balance” billing.
When you CANNOT be balance-billed:
Emergency Services
If you are receiving emergency services, the most you can be billed for is your plan’sin-network cost-sharing amounts, which are copayments, deductibles, and/or coinsurance. You cannot be balance-billed for any other amount. This includes both the emergency facility where you receive emergency services and any providers that see you for emergency care.
Nonemergency Services at an In-Network or Out-of-Network Health Care Provider
The health care provider must tell you if you are at an out-of-network location or at anin-network location that is using out-of-network providers. They must also tell you what types of services that you will be using may be provided by any out-of-network provider.
You have the right to request that in-network providers perform all covered medical services.However,youmayhavetoreceivemedicalservicesfromanout-of-networkprovider if an in-network provider is not available. In this case, the most you can be billed for covered services is your in-network cost-sharing amount, which are copayments, deductibles, and/or coinsurance. These providers cannot balance bill you for additional costs
Additional Protections
Your insurer will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly.
Your insurer must count any amount you pay for emergency services or certain out-of-network services (described above) toward your in-network deductible and out-of-pocket limit.
Your provider ,facility, hospital, or agency must refund any amount you over pay within sixty days of being notified
No one, including a provider, hospital, or insurer can ask you to limit or give up these rights.
f you receive services from an out-of-network provider or facility or agency OTHER situation, you may still be balance billed, or you may be responsible for the entire bill. If you intentionally receive nonemergency services from an out-of-network provider or facility, you may also be balance billed.
If you want to file a complaint against your health care provider, you can submit an online complaint by visiting this website: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/DPO_File_Complaint.
If you think you have received a bill for amounts other than your copayments, deductible, and/or coinsurance, please contact the billing department at 719-884-2799, or the Colorado Division of Insurance at 303-894-7490 or 1-800-930-3745
*This law does NOT apply to ALL Colorado health plans. It only applies if you have a “CO-DOI” on your health insurance ID card.
