How do I get copies of my UCLA Health billing statements?

What is a facility fee?

A facility fee is a fee we charge for the use of our clinics and related ancillary services.

Why was I billed for diagnostic or follow-up care during my preventive check-up?

A preventive check-up does not cover evaluation or management of acute and chronic conditions (such high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or diabetes) or brand-new symptoms (like new pain or injury). These fall within the category of follow-up or diagnostic care, which is billed separately from preventive care. While you can always discuss new symptoms or chronic conditions at your check-up, your medical insurance will be billed separately for this, and you may be responsible for a share of the cost.

Does my hospital bill include doctor's fees?

Doctors at UCLA Health bill separately for their services. For questions about your physician services statement, call 310-301-8860 (Monday to Friday: 7:00 am to 7:00 pm).

What if I can't pay in full or have a financial hardship?

We understand if you can’t pay the entire balance. To keep your account from becoming delinquent, speak with a customer service representative to arrange a reasonable payment plan. You may also apply for our financial assistance program.

You can reach customer service at:

  • Physician services, 310-301-8860 (Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm)
  • Hospital services, 310-825-8021 (Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 4:00 pm)

Questions About Health Insurance

Questions we receive about health insurance range from what plans we accept to what to do if you don't have coverage. Learn more:

What if I don't have health insurance?

If you don't have health insurance (or choose not to use it), you can pay for your care directly. (Learn more about cash pricing for select, packaged medical services.) You may also qualify for our financial assistance program.

People with low or moderate incomes may qualify for Medi-Cal or a subsidized health plan through Covered California.
