  4. Balance due. The total amount due to UPMC.
  5. Statement date. The date we mailed the bill.
  6. Account number. Your billing number, not your medical record number. The first 9 digits are always the same but the last 4 digits change with each visit.
  7. Service admit date. The date of your UPMC service.
  8. Credit card. Fill in this section to pay by credit card.
