Questions?
Medical Laboratories client bills: 773-702-0428.The University of Chicago Medicine & UChicago Medical Laboratories currently participate in the health insurance products listed below. Patients are advised to contact their insurance company to confirm the University of Chicago Medicine's participation prior to scheduling an appointment.
If the University of Chicago Medicine is not in your insurance company's network and your policy has out-of-network benefits; your services can be processed against these benefits. This means that you may have a higher out of pocket responsibility than if you receive services from an in-network provider. Your insurance company's customer service representative can help verify your benefits and out-of-pocket costs.
