Making a telehealth appointment? You might still pay a facility fee.

The Colorado bill would prohibit facility fees for primary care visits, preventive care services exempt from cost sharing, and telehealth appointments. Hospitals would be required to notify patients if a facility fee would apply….The bill presents particular challenges for health systems such as UCHealth and Children’s Hospital, which rely on the University of Colorado School of Medicine for staffing. For outpatient appointments, the medical school bills for the physician fee, while the hospital bills a facility fee.
