PATIENTS
Business Office
When you arrive at UCGH for any service, our friendly business office staff will verify insurance, current medical and billing information along with emergency contact information as part of the registration process. We will make sure insurance is in order and we will check for any pre-authorizations. UCGH accepts most insurance plans. It is helpful for patients to be aware of their own coverage.

- Medicare/Medicaid/Insurance cards
- Driver’s license/valid ID
- Provider’s orders
- Form of payment for co-pays and deductibles

Payment Arrangements
The business office takes care of filing insurance claims for patients. Each patient will receive a statement of services from UCGH when there is a balance due. Sometimes, pathologists, radiologists and other providers we work with will send a separate bill for that service. Each patient is responsible for payment after the insurance carrier’s portion is paid.
UCGH accepts many forms of payment. Whether you would like to pay with cash, a credit/debit card, money order or set up a payment plan, UCGH’s business office staff will help you manage your payment. If you need financial assistance please see the financial assistance form under "Patient Forms and Policies", listed under the "Patients" tab.
