Will WakeMed file my insurance?
WakeMed will file your insurance as a courtesy. Please review your policy for pre-admission and managed care plan requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that all pre-approval requirements are met.
When will I be billed and what will be included?
WakeMed bills each encounter as a separate account and you can have multiple accounts for any one date of service or visit. When the balance due on an individual account is determined to be patient responsibility, a statement will be sent to the responsible party.
As new accounts become patient responsibility, they will be added to your monthly statement. WakeMed sends a statement every 30 days, to the responsible party, when there is a balance due. Your statement will include accounts from both WakeMed Health & Hospitals and WakeMed Physician Practices.
How do I request an itemized statement?
Call WakeMed’s customer service line at (919) 350-8359 and speak to one of our customer service assistants. You will receive your statement within 5 to 10 business days of the request.
What types of assistance does WakeMed provide?
Uninsured Discount
WakeMed offers uninsured patients an automatic 30% discount for physician services and 62% for hospital services not covered under any other pre-arranged discount or for which a third party may have responsibility.
This discount will be automatically applied to your bill. This discount only applies if there is no other source of payment, such as health insurer or a third party who is or may be liable for your medical expenses.
Eligibility for Medicaid or other Government Assistance
WakeMed provides financial counselors that can help you determine if you may be eligible for Medicaid, or other government assistance.
They are available to all patients upon request throughout or following the time you receive care.
