Financial Assistance Policy

Montrose Regional Health is committed to offering financial assistance to people who have health care needs and are not able to pay for care. You may be able to get financial assistance if you are not insured, underinsured, not eligible for a government program, do not qualify for governmental assistance (for example Medicare or Medicaid), or who are approved for Medicaid but the specific medically necessary service is considered non-covered by Medical Assistance. Montrose Regional Health strives to make sure that the financial capacity of people who need health care services does not prevent them from seeking or receiving care.

Our financial assistance is available to patients with or without insurance. To apply for assistance or for cost/pricing information, please call 970-252-2666 and ask for our financial counselors.

Billing Q&A

Bills from your hospital care can seem complex and confusing. You may receive several bills for your hospital visit. Our business office can help you understand the bills and insurance coverage you are entitled to.

The hospital services bill is for your use of the hospital’s facilities, such as operating room, emergency department, hospital room, x-ray and imaging, equipment, laboratory services, medications, service of technicians, etc.

You may also receive bills for the services of healthcare providers who are independent of the hospital, such as physicians (radiologists, your personal physician, surgeons, pathologists, and anesthesiologists) and ambulance companies.

Here are answers to common questions we get regarding paying for services at Montrose Regional Health.

If you are covered by Medicare, Medicaid or other health insurance:

At check-in, the employee assisting you will make a copy of your insurance identification card. With this information, Montrose Regional Health can submit your hospital bills to your insurance company for you.

If you are covered by more than one health insurance policy, such as Medicare and supplemental policy, please present all of your current cards. If your healthcare coverage requires you to pay a co-payment to the hospital for hospital care, you will be asked to pay that amount before you leave the hospital.

If you don't have your insurance card when you come to the hospital:

Within three business days, please:
Call us at 970-249-0817, or bring your card to the billing office located on the hospital’s first floor near Admissions, or mail a copy of the card’s front and back to:
Business Office
Montrose Memorial Hospital
800 S. 3rd Street
Montrose, CO 81401
or fax a copy of the card’s front and back to: 970-240-7723

We cannot bill your insurance company without the information on your ID card.

If you do not have insurance:

You can pay Montrose Regional Health by cash, check, or credit card.
A Financial Resource Analyst in the Business Office can help you set up a payment plan.
A Financial Resource Analyst in the Business Office can also help you apply for financial assistance if you are eligible. The type and amount of eligibility will be determined after we have a completed financial assistance application on file from you. If you have received services you should contact the Financial Resource Analyst at the earliest possible time following your treatment.
Application for assistance should be completed within 90 days of receiving services. If you are treated in the emergency department or admitted to the hospital through the emergency department, a Financial Resource Analyst can evaluate your eligibility for Colorado Indigent Care Program (CICP) which helps pay for emergency services only.
Applications for CICP must be completed within 90 days.
