Physician Bill

To view an explanation of your bill, move your pointer over the numbered red boxes.

The University of Pennsylvania Health System bills the professional fees for the physicians and practitioners who are faculty members of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and Clinical Care Associates. A sample bill is shown below.

If you received services from a private practice physician who maintains medical staff privileges at a University of Pennsylvania Health System hospital but is not employed by UPHS, you will receive a bill directly from that physician's office which will be different than the bill presented below. Questions about those bills should be directed to your doctor's office.
