Clinical Billing

UW Medicine is committed to performing billing activities for clinical and professional services in full compliance with State and Federal billing regulations and UW Medicine Policies. UW Medicine is dedicated to establishing excellent business systems that support physicians in creating clear documentation of the clinical services provided and providing accurate coding for billing. It is the goal of UW Medicine to create a culture of professionalism, integrity and ethics in billing compliance.
