Billing & Financial Assistance

UNC Health Rex will assist you with obtaining the necessary approval for your visit and will file primary and most secondary insurance claims for you.

Insurance Information

When you register, if you plan to file a claim for your health care, please provide the following:

  • A copy of your insurance card(s) to file your claim.
  • A copy of your Medicare or Medicaid insurance cards, if applicable.
  • A signed release form authorizing UNC Health Rex to release information to your insurance company to ensure your claims will be paid promptly.

Your estimated out-of-pocket expenses, co-insurance and/or deductible is due at the time of your visit (cash, personal checks and most major credit cards are accepted).

If your insurance requires approval (pre-authorization or pre-certification) for certain tests or admission to the hospital, UNC Health Rex will help you obtain the necessary approval for your visit if you have not already done so.

Financial Assistance

If you do not have insurance or are concerned about paying for your medical bills, you may be eligible for financial assistance. The UNC Health Financial Assistance program helps relieve the financial burden of medically necessary health care services at participating UNC Health entities. The program is available to North Carolina residents with a household income and assets at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guideline for your family size. Further information about the financial assistance program and how to apply is available on our UNC Health Financial Assistance page.
