Insurance

See which insurance plans we accept at Cone Health and CHMG.

Bill Payment

Many, but not all, CHMG providers are part of our centralized billing system. If you received a statement from Patientco, visit the Cone Health patient financial services page to learn about our billing and payment experience.

If your doctor’s office does not use the Patientco billing system, contact the office directly with any questions. You’ll find the practice’s phone number on your bill.

Financial Assistance

If the the costs associated with receiving care are more than you can afford, learn how our financial assistance programs can help you pay your bill.

Most Cone Health Medical Group providers use Cone HealthLink, an electronic medical records system that integrates information from different locations and systems together in one computerized medical chart. Learn more about the advantages of Cone HealthLink and who has access to your chart.
