Financial Counseling

Financial counseling is available through St. Vincent Health’s business office. If you have any questions regarding financial or insurance matters, please contact our financial counselor after reading this page.

Patients with Insurance or Medicare

We will bill your insurance carrier for the cost of your hospital stay. However, you are required to pay any charges not covered by insurance. It is necessary that arrangements be made for settling your bill before discharge from the hospital.

Your Hospital Bill

Your hospital bill pays many skilled people serving you 24 hours a day. It pays for modern drugs and advanced equipment needed for your health care, carefully planned meals and personalized, around-the-clock professional care.

The bill does not include charges for physicians involved in your care such as your personal physician, surgeon, pathologist, anesthesiologist, radiologist, or other physician consultants. You will receive separate bills from these physicians.

St. Vincent Health strives to ensure that the financial capacity of people who need health care services does not prevent them from seeking or receiving care. Patients will not be denied care due to inability to pay.

Hospital Discounted Care Program

St. Vincent Health supports the Colorado Hospital Discounted Care Bill (House Bill (HB) 21-1198​), and provides financial assistance to patients who qualify. To apply for financial assistance, please call our financial counselors at 719-486-7172. For more information, visit https://hcpf.colorado.gov/hospital-discounted-care.

Other Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance/Sliding Fee Scale

Financial assistance/Sliding fee scale is available to patients who qualify based on the data set forth on our charity care policy, which provides discounted or free care to qualifying patients.

Flexible Payment Plans 

Flexible payment plans are offered based on financial status and total amount due. We strive to help patients satisfy their financial obligations in a fair manner based on individual circumstances.

In order to provide the best service, it is essential that our patients provide the necessary information that allows us to offer discounts and other forms of financial assistance.
