Frequently Asked Questions

I have questions about my billing statement. Who do I contact?

See the bottom of your billing statement. Each core facility has a point-person for their billing questions.

I used the wrong cost object when creating an appointment. Can the core change it/reverse the charges?

• Before the appointment
  • Yes. Either you or the core can make this change prior to the start of the appointment.
• After the appointment, before billing
  • Yes. The core can make this change prior to billing. Contact the core to give them more details.
• After the appointment has gone through billing
  • No. Contact your project/department's accounting administrators to initiate a journal transfer.
