Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges

Under Colorado law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.  This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs or equipment.
  • Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item.  You can also ask your healthcare provider and other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure you save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

Accessible

  • Office hours are from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. We ask that you call ahead for appointments. We provide same day appointments for acute illnesses as well as routine follow-ups and physical exams that fit your schedule.
  • After hours, our physicians are available nights, weekends, and holidays; simply call the office phone number 303-996-1020. Calls are typically returned within 30 minutes.  For Medical Emergencies, dial 911.  However, we encourage you to call the office first if you have an urgent (not life-threatening) issue that can’t wait until the next day.  We will always help direct you to the most appropriate level of care (appointment, urgent care, emergency room).
  • We also offer a secure internet patient portal that provides access to your key medical information as well as a convenient way to request refills, make appointments or get a message to your provider.

Comprehensive

Your family physician is able to manage the majority of your medical needs. We provide personalized healthcare guided by the most current medical recommendations. When help from another specialist is needed, we coordinate referrals to ensure that you and the rest of your health conditions aren’t forgotten.
