Benefits Tip: Balance Bills and ELAP

by   |  07.24.17  |  Announcements, Benefits

Please remember that ELAP audits and defends facility balance bills that you may receive from visits to medical facilities other than Hendrick or Abilene Regional. If you have received a bill from a facility, it is very important for you to contact ELAP. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if the bill you receive is a facility bill or a professional bill; therefore, if ELAP receives a bill from a physician or professional in error, their procedure is to direct you to GPA to discuss that bill with a customer service representative who will go over the details with you – for example, if the claim was processed and if so, do you owe anything on that claim, etc.  Sometimes it is possible that the claim was never submitted. GPA will research that and help the member with next steps.  You can always contact ELAP or GPA regarding any questions you have about your balance bill at the following:

The new 2017-18 Faculty/Staff Parking Permits (F/S Permits) have arrived and are now available at NO CHARGE during regular ACUPD lobby hours, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. MondayFriday.

Recognizing that many employees may still be out for the summer and may not be able to obtain their new permits immediately, enforcement for expired parking permits will not begin until the 5th day of class, Friday Sept. 1st Remember that parking citations come with a $20 fine, so do the math; FREE permit versus $20 citations! And as always, while the initial F/S Permit is FREE, replacement permits issued due to theft/loss or for 2nd vehicle convenience are $5 each.

Here is the link to the  2017-18 Faculty/Staff Registration Form   Please pre-print/fill out the form completely and bring with you for faster service. All of the information is required in order to keep our records up to date.

If you have questions, or would like to arrange for bulk departmental delivery of your employees permits, please contact ACUPD via email at acupolice@acu.edu or by calling ACUPD Office Manager/Parking Administrator Teri Tilly at ext. 2305.
