The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and University Medical Associates (UMA) are considered “provider based” by the federal government. This means the provider, MUSC Medical Center, owns the space where the doctor works. When you go to a UMA doctor, you will be seen in a MUSC outpatient hospital clinic. As a result of this, you will receive two bills for the care you receive. One bill will come from MUSC for the facility, supplies, medicines, or nursing care. One bill will come from UMA for the doctor’s fee. Many insurance plans pay for health care services provided in an outpatient hospital clinic differently than those provided in a doctor’s office. Your insurance plan may require you to meet your annual deductible before it pays for healthcare services you receive in an outpatient hospital clinic. Your insurance company may also require you to pay a percentage of the bill, called a co-insurance, rather than just an office co-payment. If you have questions about how your insurance will cover outpatient hospital clinic visits and how much you will have to pay, please call your insurance directly.
