The patients who utilize the
expertise of our faculty and the services provided by our Anatomic and
Clinical Pathology Laboratories are not limited to those who visit our
on-site or satellite clinics, or become inpatients in one of our hospitals,
but also include the patients of physicians, clinics and hospitals who
are clients of our MLabs Outreach Program, or are physicians or patients seeking a second opinion
on a diagnosis received. The staff of Pathology Billing Office, completes
the registration and billing processes for these groups.
The Office of Academic and Business
Affairs - Medical School is comprised of three units. They are:
1) Pathology professional and
technical billing support.
2) Research Administration and
Financial reporting.
3) Provide administrative support
for medical school and dental courses and Graduate program.
The Billing Office has five financial
support staff and their manager, David Golden. This group’s primary
responsibility is to initiate the billing of professional and technical
clinical laboratory services. They input charges, register patients,
post client payments, assist MLabs clients with billing questions/concerns,
and act as a liaison unit for the combined Pathology/Radiology Billing
Office located in the KMS Building and to the other units who comprise
the Finance Administration Section of the Department of Pathology.
The billing office processes
over $25 million in professional gross charges every year. This group
also processes an additional $30 million in technical gross charges
for the Health System and our MLabs program.
