Physicians’ Fees
Utilization Review
Your hospital bill does not include fees for your physician(s) or for services from physicians who practice at University Hospital to include: emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, pathologists, radiologists, neonatologists or other independent practitioners. You will receive a separate bill from their billing offices, and all inquiries should be directed to the telephone number on the bill.
University Hospital is required by Medicare, Medicaid and most private pay health insurance plans to monitor the patient’s hospital stay. If your coverage requires such monitoring, you will be asked to sign a consent for release of your medical information to the requesting agency. If, during this monitoring process, your insurance company or agency notifies the hospital that services you are receiving are no longer covered by terms outlined in your policy, your admissions coordinator will contact you to discuss this matter.
