Use the UofL Health Pay My Bill page and select UofL Health – UofL Hospital when your statement is a facility bill.
Pay a UofL Physicians bill

| Billing topic | What to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Facility vs provider bill | Is this a UofL Health facility charge, UofL Physicians charge, anesthesia bill, radiology bill, lab bill, or emergency physician bill? | A hospital visit can generate multiple bills from different billing entities. |
| Insurance processing | Was my insurance billed, and what adjustment or denial was applied? | Balances may change after insurance processing or correction. |
