UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital

Admissions is your first step to accessing UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital services. Our goal is to ensure superior customer service while ensuring the correct information has been gathered regarding your needs and billing information. Our Admissions department is responsible for scheduling, pre-registering and registering patients; verifying insurance data; conducting financial counseling; estimating charges and collecting patient copays, deductibles and coinsurance at the time of service.

Care management at UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital is here for you. We work with you, the patient, and your family as an advocate during your hospital stay. We will assist you as you transition through your hospitalization and help facilitate your discharge plan home or to another facility, if appropriate. We will work with your insurance to maximize your benefits and pre-authorize home needs as necessary. Your discharge plan may include the need for other services such as home oxygen, medical equipment or home-care services. The care management team will assist in making these arrangements.

All of our services are coordinated through your provider. We work closely with all of the UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital team to determine a safe discharge plan.

Please call 720.718.2230 to speak to a member of the care management team.

UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital encourages you to ask questions about your care during your stay. If we don’t meet your expectations or you have a specific concern during your stay, please let your caregiver know. You may also request to speak with the department manager or hospital supervisor.

Resolving a concern.

• Advocates for patients’ rights.
• Promotes patient satisfaction.
• Serves as point of contact for organization-wide complaints and grievances.

Privacy (HIPAA) and your information

At your request we keep information about your hospital stay private and confidential, as required by federal law (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA).

One way we maintain your privacy is to set up a special password at your request. You tell us this password, which you may share with friends and family so they can find out how you’re doing. When callers give us your password, we can update them on your progress. If callers don’t know the password, we cannot tell them anything about your condition.

We’ll write your password on a note card for you to keep.

Advance directives and living wills

We can help you complete a Living Will or other advance directive at your pre-admission appointment. These legal documents spell out the care you want — or don’t want — in case you cannot make your own decisions and communicate them to us.

Insurance

Your Virtual Urgent Care visit may be covered by insurance. However, if your health plan denies this charge you will receive a bill for this service.

Many health plans are adding virtual visits (telehealth) as a covered benefit.  However, there are some healthcare plans that do not cover virtual visits, such as Medicare.

For most insurance plans, we will attempt to bill your insurance- you may be responsible for your co-payment amount prior to seeing the doctor. However, if your health plan denies this charge you will receive a bill for this service. Also, please note that to bill medical insurance, a successful video connection must occur between the patient and the doctor.

The UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital Foundation (LPHF) focuses on investing resources to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors in the greater Longmont and St. Vrain Valley areas. The UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital Foundation helps to provide value-added services not covered by insurance.

• Through the generosity of individual, corporate and foundation donors, as well as through grants, the UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital Foundation provides funding to support innovative research and education, patient financial assistance, community health programs and enhancements to patient care.
• Private donations from community members enable us to bridge gaps in services, accelerate new advances in health care and help thankful patients and families express gratitude. Many critically important services offered by UCHealth in northern Colorado would not exist without private donations.
• The UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital Foundation goes beyond the hospital walls, making community health initiatives a priority for philanthropic focus. The UCHealth school-based Healthy Hearts program provides free heart-health education and blood pressure, BMI and cholesterol screenings to elementary, middle and high school students. In northern Colorado, 39,000 students have been screened since the program’s inception 26 years ago. LPHF focuses on expanding the program’s reach to serve students in the St. Vrain Valley School District.
• 100 percent of every dollar donated goes to the foundation’s philanthropic funds, with no overhead costs or administrative fees removed.
