What is included in my bill?

Following your emergency room visit, you will receive a bill from Wake Emergency Physicians, PA (WEPPA) for the professional services rendered by the physician and/or Advanced Practice Provider who treated you during your visit.  In addition, you will receive a separate bill from the facility where you were treated (WakeMed, Johnston UNC Health Care/Clayton, Johnston UNC Health Care/Smithfield, UNC Health Nash or Granville Health System). 

If ancillary services (radiology, labs, etc.) were utilized during your treatment, you will also receive a separate bill for those services.

Is my insurance required to cover my ER bill?

The answer to this question depends on the terms of your insurance plan. However, the NC Prudent Layperson Legislation N.C. Gen. Stat. § 58-3-176, 58-67-50(c) and 58-3-190 (1997) requires that coverage for emergency services must be provided to the extent necessary to screen and stabilize the person covered under the plan. If the emergency services are obtained from a hospital or other provider outside the managed care plan’s network, they must still be covered if a prudent layperson would have believed that a delay in seeking treatment would have worsened the emergency or if the patient went outside the plan network for emergency treatment for reasons beyond his or her control.

What insurance plans do you accept?

Wake Emergency Physicians, PA, cares for every patient who presents to one of our Emergency Departments regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. While we participate as an “in-network” provider with some insurance providers in North Carolina, patients who seek “out of network” emergency care are protected under North Carolina law and by federal protections under the No Surprises Act. Please contact your insurer directly if you have questions about your coverage.
