Receiving top-notch healthcare from the University of Maryland Faculty Physicians (UMFP) network comes with separate billing for physician services. As a patient, it’s your responsibility to pay these UMFP bills promptly to avoid late fees or collection actions. The good news is that UMFP offers simple ways to view and pay your provider bills online.
In this guide, I’ll walk through everything you need to know to manage and pay your UMFP medical bills with ease. We’ll look at online account access, payment options, financial assistance, and more. Let’s get started!
Create an Online Account
The first step is setting up your online UMFP account to access billing statements and make payments This is available at UMFacultyPhysicians.com/PayNow
You’ll need to verify some basic information from your latest statement including
- Location of services
- Account number
- Patient name
- Statement date
Once your account is created, you can log in anytime to view billing history, make one-time payments, set up recurring payments, and manage payment methods.
I recommend signing up for email statement notifications so you know as soon as a new bill is ready to view.
Understand Your UMFP Bill
Medical bills can be confusing with all the codes and terminology UMFP statements clearly break down your responsibility into readable sections
- Account summary: Shows outstanding balance, recent payments, and insurance details.
- Current activity: Lists the dates, providers, and charges for your recent visits.
- Insurance details: Shows claim status, payments, adjustments, and your portion owed.
- Messages: Additional info related to your claims or account.
Spend time understanding each section of your statement and cross-check with your insurance explanation of benefits. Contact UMFP with any discrepancies.
Payment Options for UMFP Bills
UMFP offers several convenient ways to pay your provider bills:
- Online via credit/debit card or e-check on your account
- Phone by calling 410-528-5710 or toll-free 888-243-8890
- Mail checks or money orders to the statement remittance address
- In-person at local business office locations (cash/check/card accepted)
I prefer the instant confirmation of online payments through my account portal. You can also setup recurring payments and store payment methods for quick checkout.
Apply for Financial Assistance
If you’re uninsured or struggling to pay your UMFP bills, the financial assistance program may help. You can get discounted rates and fee waivers based on your:
- Household size and income
- Lack of insurance coverage
- Medical expenses
Start by submitting an online application with details on your financial situation. UMFP aims to make care affordable for all patients.
Set Payment Reminders to Avoid Late Fees
Don’t let a slip of the mind lead to late payment fees. Use free reminders to stay on top of your UMFP bill due dates:
- Enable text/email alerts in your online account
- Add due dates to your personal calendar
- Ask a friend/family member to nudge you
- Schedule payments to process a few days before the deadline
I set text and email reminders so I get multiple pings to pay on time. Late fees quickly add up, so use these friendly prompts.
