Billing Policies

Self-Pay: Patients electing to self-pay for their testing will receive a 40% discount off the list price of the test(s).

Insurance Billing: When insurance information is provided, CU Medicine (dba University Physicians, Inc.) will bill a patient’s insurance carrier for the testing performed. The patient may be responsible for any amount not covered by their insurance*.

*MICROARRAYS: Most payors, including Medicaid, require preauthorization for chromosomal microarray (CMA), which can delay testing times if performed. Patients having a CMA without preauthorization may be liable for the full list price of the test unless they sign the Billing Waiver for Microarray at the time the test is ordered. This waiver will grant a 40% discount if they are denied coverage by their insurance provider.

Institutional Billing: Various ordering institutions have set pricing agreements for CGL’s services through CU Medicine. Patients being seen at these institutions may have their insurance billed by that institution. CGL does not participate in nor have any control over the outcomes of this billing.

Follow-up Testing Policy

When a proband is found to have a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) by microarray performed at CGL, two family members may be tested by targeted microarray for free. Additional family members can be tested for an additional charge.

Preauthorization Details

CPT codes can be found in the Test Menu tab. Billing for the Colorado Genetics Laboratory is done by CU Medine (dba University Physicians, Inc.)
