Financial Operations
Welcome to the Financial Operations website for the University of Virginia Medical Center!
Our group consists of
- Accounting (Controller's Office)
- Cash Control (Cash Management)
- Coding Services
- Contract Management
- Patient Access (Registration, Scheduling, Pre-Certifications, Pre-Authorization)
- Patient Financial Services (billing & collections)
In addition, under General Financial Services, we have

- Financial Planning and Analysis (MFPAs)

We constantly search for new ways to reach a larger audience to communicate pertinent information. The contents of this web site will provide financial introductions and process road maps, allow for improved access to managerial data, and hopefully increase staff and physicians' understanding of the financial ramifications of industry trends.
In the future we hope to augment our efforts towards a more patient-friendly billing process with this medium. Hospital billing is unfortunately a complex affair. One of the goals of Patient Financial Services and this web site is to complement the care patients receive from our physicians and caregivers by making the components of the bill easier to understand.
Please provide us your feedback. We will constantly improve the content and format of this web site based on your input. Our goal, of course, is to ensure that our functions continue to contribute to the viability of the University of Virginia Medical Center and ultimately the improved health of the patients and communities we serve.
Thanks for visiting us and please come again.
Sincerely,
Larry Fitzgerald
Vice President of Business Development & Finance for External Business Initiatives
