Paying your medical bills

We’re glad you’ve chosen our team at VCU Health for your care. Remember to bring photo identification and your current insurance cards to every appointment. We will ask you to confirm your address, phone number, insurance plan and other personal information at each appointment to make sure your account is up-to-date. If you have Medicare insurance, we are required to ask you a few questions about your retirement date and other insurance plans to find out if Medicare or another plan should be billed first.

Cash, check and most major credit cards are accepted for payment. Please ask for a receipt if one is not offered to you. 

New billing system effective December 4, 2021

VCU Health has a new billing system effective December 4, 2021. You may continue to receive statements from PatientCo or you may receive the new billing statement from MyChart. Statements are dependent upon your date of service.

COVID-19 Updates

Your COVID-19-related appointment, whether in person, virtual or a diagnostic COVID-19 test, will be covered by insurance. For visits unrelated to COVID-19, you may be responsible for a copay, coinsurance or deductible. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your insurance plan. Please check with your insurance provider for details.

Extended Payment Plans

We understand the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting many of our patients and their families and causing financial hardship.  During this time, we are offering extended payment plans/terms. Please contact our Customer Service staff at (888) 803-0082 to discuss extended payment terms.

Billing Questions

In adherence with CDC guidelines for reducing or slowing the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure the safety of our patients and staff, effective immediately we are suspending all face-to-face discussions regarding billing, financial application, and payments at all locations. Our Customer Service phone hours are 8:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. We are experiencing higher than normal call volumes and hold times, so we thank you in advance for your patience.
