Pioneers Medical Center believes you have the right to understand your healthcare options and the cost of care. If you are covered by health insurance, we encourage you to contact your health insurance provider to determine accurate information about your financial responsibility for a particular health care service provided at this facility. If you are not covered by health insurance, you are strongly encouraged to contact our Financial Counselor at 970-878-9792 to discuss payment options prior to receiving services from Pioneers Medical Center and/or Meeker Family Health Center. Posted prices are general estimates and do not reflect your personal financial responsibility, which might include deductibles, co-insurance, or copays.

Disclaimer

I understand the charge information is based on historical data and is an estimate of charges for the service without complications. This estimate may not include physician fees or charges for additional tests ordered for your care. Your final bill will include charges for the actual services provided to you. For questions about your financial obligation, we encourage you to contact your insurance company to verify details of your coverage.

Prompt Payment Discounts are available to patients who are uninsured or for non-covered services. Pioneers Medical Center offers a 20% prompt pay discount on payments made at the time of service, or if paid within 30 days of receiving their first statement. This does not apply to balances after insurance or to the self-pay prices for MRI services as these services are already deeply discounted.

To receive a confidential price estimate for medical services or procedures at Pioneers Medical Center or Meeker Family Health Center (including Colorado Advanced Orthopedics), please call 970-878-9316 for surgical estimates or 970-878-9287 for all other estimates.

Please give us as much information as possible about the specific service or procedure along with the physician or specialist’s name. If your doctor’s office can provide you with the procedure (CPT) codes, we can provide a more accurate estimate. If your physician finds it necessary to perform more, fewer, or different procedures at the time of service, your actual cost may vary.

The prices provided on this website are based on historical data and are an estimate of charges for the mentioned services without complications. Prices for surgeries can vary depending on the surgical provider and the amount of time needed in the operating room. Prices may not include the professional fees of surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, or DME suppliers for whom Pioneers does not bill. The final bill you receive will reflect the charges for the services provided to you.
