The University of Miami is a private research university in Coral Gables, Florida, in the United States. As of 2020, the university enrolled approximately 18,000 students[1] in 12 separate colleges and schools across nearly 350 academic academic majors and programs, including the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine in Miami's Health District, a law school on the main campus, and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key with research facilities in southern Miami-Dade County.[2]
With 16,479 faculty and staff as of 2021, UM is the third largest employer in Miami-Dade County.[3]
Fraudulent billing
In 2021, the University agreed to settle three whistleblower lawsuits alleging fraudulent billing and medically unnecessary lab tests for $22 million. According to court documents cited by the Department of Justice, the University of Miami allegedly converted multiple physicians' offices it operates to hospital facilities and then billed at the higher payment rates associated with the setting without informing Medicare program beneficiaries.[4]
