Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only help with Medicaid?

Our staff has years of experience navigating the Medicaid and public benefits systems and can help you understand all of your benefits and rights. As part of Pisgah Legal Services, they are also able to connect you to free legal help and other community resources.

What do I do if I was denied care?

If you are denied care, you have the option to appeal (let them know that you disagree). The process to appeal may be different depending on the denial decision. Contact us as soon as you receive the denial, and our staff can walk you through the appeal process. 

What if I have questions about a bill I received?

Health care bills can be complicated and confusing. Call us for help in understanding your bill and helping sort out how to handle any potential errors.

What if I can't afford the copay for the medications I need?

Patients have the right to receive care and medicine even if they can’t pay the copay. Doctors and pharmacies are still required to provide the needed services or medications. If you are denied because you can’t pay the copay, contact us for help.
