Pay My Bill
Raleigh General Hospital understands the confusion you may experience regarding billing procedures. Therefore, we want to provide you with this information to help answer some of the questions you may have.
It is important to remember that your hospital bill covers services provided by the hospital: room, nursing care, meals, housekeeping and linen. It may also include services ordered by your physician: X-rays, laboratory tests, medical supplies and oxygen. The bill does not include charges for your personal physician, surgeon, anesthesiologist, pathologist, emergency physician, radiologist, or other physician assistants. You will receive separate bills from these physicians.
Shortly after you are discharged, you will receive a statement from the hospital which estimates the amount your insurance will pay and the amount you will be responsible for. By the time you receive this statement, the billing staff has filed your claim. If you have no insurance and do not qualify for financial assistance, the full amount shown is your responsibility.
You can pay your bill online with a credit card by clicking on the "Pay or View Bill Online" button above.
If you cannot pay the estimated amount in full and have not established payment terms during your stay, please call toll free (800) 291-1365 and we will work with you to establish a satisfactory monthly payment. If we are not contacted, we assume you are going to pay the amount in full.
Remember, if you have any questions or need assistance, the Support Services staff will gladly assist you. The telephone number is toll free (800) 291-1365.

The bill you receive from the hospital for services rendered during your emergency room visit or during hospitalization does not include fees for services of any physicians. Physician services such as examinations, x-rays, or lab test interpretations are billed independently of the hospital bill. Therefore, you may receive two or three separate physician bills, such as from the Emergency Room physician, pathologist, anesthesiologist and radiologist.
