Company History
In 1971, the WVU Medical Corporation was chartered as a private, non-profit corporate entity for the purpose of supporting the West Virginia University School of Medicine. This corporation is now doing business as University Health Associates, and has evolved into the largest multi-specialty physician group practices in West Virginia.
UHA initially managed the patient billing function for the clinical faculty physicians at WVU. Prior to UHA, physicians individually collected payment for their services. Today, UHA functions in the administrative roles of billing & collections, human resources, accounting, operations management and clinical support for the WVU Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.
UHA currently employs over 1,000 staff supporting the physicians at our Physician Office Center, WVU Eye Institute, Health Sciences Center, Chestnut Ridge Hospital and Scott Avenue Operations located in Morgantown.
