UCLA Medical Bills For Hospital Services, Physician Services, Care Received

We always want you to understand what services you received and why certain amounts appear on your UCLA bill. Our goal is to take the confusion out of your medical bills. That’s why we’re always ready to help you make sense of them. Please note that California doesn’t allow hospitals to employ doctors directly. Like other California hospitals, we must send separate bills for hospital services and physician services.

How Billing Works When You Receive Care

Once you’ve scheduled care, payments and billing follow this process if you have health insurance:

1. We bill your health insurer (a health insurance company or government program) after you receive care.
2. The bill, or claim, is usually processed within 30 to 45 days.
3. If your health insurer asks for more information, please respond in a timely manner.
4. Your health insurer pays us based on our contract.
5. Your health insurer decides how much you may owe, based on the details of your plan.
