Overview

The Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó | Anschutz Medical Campus Bursar’s Office Third-Party Billing Team manages tuition and fee arrangements between the university and third-party sponsors. A third-party sponsor is any external entity—such as a government agency, private organization, or employer—that agrees to pay all or part of a student’s tuition and/or fees and requires a bill directly from the university.

Examples include:

• Military Tuition Assistance
• State Vocational Rehabilitation
• EdAssist (Various Employers)
• Guild Education (Various Employers)
• Amazon Career Choice
• Prepaid College Plans (FL Prepaid, College Illinois)
• Boeing Learning Together Program
• Various International Sponsors
• Workforce Centers
• Department of Defense (DoD) Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP)
• Indian Health Service (IHS) Scholarship Program
• National Health Service Corps (NHSC)
• Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

Note: Sponsor payments are subject to the same IRS 1098-T reporting requirements as other forms of financial aid.

Third-Party Billing Process

1. Document Review: The Third-Party Billing Team reviews submitted billing authorizations (e.g., vouchers, letters of credit) to ensure they meet university guidelines.
2. Conditional Credit: If approved, a conditional credit is applied to the student’s account for the expected sponsor payment.
3. Account Adjustments: If the sponsor’s payment depends on credit hours, course types, or registration status, the student’s account may be adjusted accordingly. A hold may be placed to prevent refunds until after the census date.
4. Invoicing: Sponsors are invoiced starting the week after the census date. Payment is due within 30 days.
5. Reconciliation:
• If the sponsor pays less, the student is responsible for the remaining balance.
• If the sponsor pays more, the credit may be increased or refunded (with sponsor approval).
• If no payment is received by the next term, the conditional credit is reversed and the student becomes responsible for the balance.
