Colorado Springs Ear Associates is contracted with all of the major commercial insurance companies. However, many insurance companies now offer limited network plans and even though we are a network provider for virtually all of an insurer’s members, as a sub-specialty clinic we are occasionally excluded from limited network plans. We encourage all patients to contact their insurer to confirm that we are a network provider for their plan. If you do have a limited network plan and Dr. Hegarty is out-of-network, contact your insurer and/or PCP to request authorization to see him. Since Colorado Springs Ear Associates is the only practice offering certain services in southern Colorado many insurers will authorize and cover the costs of out-of-network visits. However, you must obtain the authorization before your first visit. Currently, Colorado Springs Ear Associates is out-of-network for the following plans:
United HealthCare Doctors Plan
Centura Colorado Doctors Plan
Rocky Mountain Health Plans
HMO Colorado Blue Priority
Pueblo County AARP Secure Horizons Plans
Fremont County AARP Secure Horizons Plans
Cigna Medicare Advantage Plans
Anthem MediBlue Dual Advantage HMO SNP
Colorado Medicaid/First Health Colorado
