Important Information About UroPartners Billing
There are a few things you should know about UroPartners billing that might help you navigate the system better:
Navista Payment System for Urology Partners
If you’re a patient of Urology Partners (which is different from UroPartners), they use a system called Navista for online bill payments. This system allows you to view statements, make payments, and manage your repayment experience.
For Urology Partners patients, after your visit, you’ll receive either a text message or email with a link to their online bill payment site. The texts come from 629-356-5448, and emails come from @navista.com.
It’s important to note that for Urology Partners, only statements from February 12, 2025, and newer are available in their new portal.
Understanding When Offices Are Open
If you prefer to pay your bill in person or have billing questions that require speaking with someone, it’s helpful to know when offices are open. UroPartners and Urology Partners have different schedules, so check their respective websites for the most up-to-date information.
Urology Partners, for example, has posted their holiday hours through January 2024, which includes reduced hours around the December holidays and New Year’s.

What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?
When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or be responsible for the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network.
“Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that do not have a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your deductible and annual out-of-pocket limit.
“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider.
