UCI Health OB/GYN University Associates

UCI Health OB/GYN University Associates in Long Beach provides comprehensive obstetric, gynecologic, and women's health services, including prenatal care, delivery, maternal‑fetal medicine, and fertility treatments, backed by UC Irvine’s academic research and clinical trials. The practice generates revenue primarily through fee‑for‑service billing to private insurers, Medicare/Medi‑Cal, and self‑pay patients, supplemented by affiliated hospital services and research grants. As an academic‑affiliated clinic affiliated with a major university medical center, it holds a regional reputation for high‑complexity care and draws patients from across Southern California, positioning it as a referral hub for complicated pregnancies and reproductive endocrinology cases. With an estimated employee count of 50‑100, the practice stands to save approximately $60,000‑$119,000 annually through the Employee Benefits Program (50 × $1,190 = $59,500; 100 × $1,190 = $119,000). Benefits decisions are typically made by the Medical Director, who oversees staff compensation and benefits strategy in alignment with the university’s HR policies. Adopting the EBP would directly reduce payroll tax expenses, freeing up budget that could be reinvested into expanding fertility services, enhancing digital patient portals, or offering competitive retention bonuses to address high turnover among nursing and clinical staff. Given the clinic’s focus on cutting‑edge women’s health and its need to control operating costs while maintaining a top‑tier workforce, the EBP aligns with both financial and talent‑management objectives.
