Financial

The BMI Services group has two hourly rates:

  • Internal rate of 110$ an hour for billing to a UW budget number
  • External rate of 150$ an hour for all other funding sources

The reason for this difference is extra effort it takes to process and collect funds from external funding sources.

Internal Billing

For billing to a UW budget number, we need the following information: 

  • Principal Investigator
    1. Name
    2. Email
  • Budget number
  • Expiration date for the budget number
  • Billing contact
    1. Name
    2. Email 

We can accommodate additional budget information like PCA codes or up to two additional billing contacts.

We bill at the beginning of each month for the work done the previous month. In case of an internal billing project, the amount will be automatically deducted from the budget number. All billing contacts will get an email with an invoice for hours worked that previous month.

External Billing

For billing to an external funding source, we need the following information:

  • Principal Investigator
    1. Name
    2. Email
  • Billing contact
    1. Name
    2. Email 

We can accommodate additional budget information like PCA codes or up to two additional billing contacts.

We bill at the beginning of each month for the work done the previous month. All billing contacts will get an email with an invoice for hours worked that previous month. In case of an external billing project, we expect payment within 30 days. The invoice will have information regarding ways to pay the invoice. If you have a unique billing situation, please let the Services manager know as soon as possible.

The BMI services team will always provide you with an estimate for any consult. We only bill for hours actually worked. If there is a reasonable chance that we might go over our initially estimated hours, we will let you know beforehand.

If you have problem with the billed amount or any other questions regarding the billing process, please contact the BMI Services manager.
