Adult primary-care team
How to find a Raleigh Medical Group doctor
Raleigh Medical Group focuses on adult primary care through internal-medicine physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, sports-medicine providers and nutrition professionals.
Start with an adult primary-care provider
Choose an internist when you want one clinician to manage preventive care, medications and multiple adult health conditions.
Check new-patient availability
The practice accepts new patients, but each clinician’s panel can open or close independently.
Confirm insurance participation
Give the insurer the provider’s name, Raleigh Medical Group and the Barrett Drive address.
Ask about a team appointment
When your regular doctor is unavailable, another physician or advanced-practice provider may be able to see you.
Request sports medicine when appropriate
RMG provides referral-based nonsurgical evaluation for sports injuries and orthopedic or joint complaints.
Save the selected clinician
Confirm the correct provider name before requesting records, refills or portal messages.
New-patient call script
“I need an adult primary-care provider at Raleigh Medical Group. My insurance is [complete plan and network]. Which clinicians are accepting new patients, what is the earliest appointment, and what forms or records should I bring?”

Portal troubleshooting
What to check when the RMG portal does not work
An old FollowMyHealth bookmark opens
Return to Raleigh Medical Group’s current portal page and use its Athenahealth login.
Your email is not recognized
Ask the office to confirm the email and mobile number attached to your patient record.
You forgot the password
Use Athenahealth’s password-recovery option rather than creating multiple patient accounts.
An appointment is missing
Confirm whether it belongs to Raleigh Medical Group, Raleigh Adult Medicine, Cary Medical Group or another subsidiary practice.
A result is unavailable
The test may still be processing, not yet released or associated with another practice or hospital system.
A bill is missing
Verify the billing organization and service date, especially when care involved gastroenterology or an endoscopy center.
You need another person’s record
Use a valid authorization or legal representative process instead of sharing the patient’s login.
You need the entire historical chart
Complete a formal medical-record request rather than relying only on portal documents.
Portal-help call script
“I am a Raleigh Medical Group patient and cannot access the current Athenahealth account. Please verify the legal name, date of birth, email and mobile number on my chart and check whether I have an old FollowMyHealth account or duplicate record.”

How Raleigh Medical Group laboratory appointments work
Attend on the scheduled date and time
Raleigh Medical Group prepares the requisition for the expected appointment and asks patients not to arrive on another day.
Check in at the main front desk
Tell the receptionist that you are present for scheduled laboratory work.
Go to the laboratory area
A LabCorp technician draws the blood or collects the requested specimen.
Complete checkout
Return to the front office for payment or insurance filing instructions when applicable.
Call to cancel or reschedule
Use 919-782-1806 and press 0 when prompted.
Fasting instructions
Do not eat for 12 hours
Drink only water during the fasting period
Drink enough water to remain hydrated
Ask a physician before fasting when diabetic
Take usual medicines unless instructed otherwise
Ask about digoxin or seizure-medicine level testing
Diabetes safety: Do not begin a 12-hour fast without specific instructions when you use insulin or another medicine that can lower blood sugar.
Laboratory call script
“I have laboratory work scheduled for [date]. Is the order ready, is the test fasting, should I take my regular medicines, and does my insurance require LabCorp or another laboratory?”
Allow two business days
How prescription refills work at Raleigh Medical Group
Check the pharmacy label
Determine whether authorized refills remain before contacting the medical office.
Request the routine refill during business hours
Use the patient portal, pharmacy workflow or office instructions.
Provide complete medication details
Include the medicine name, dose, directions and exact pharmacy location.
Allow up to two business days
The practice reserves this processing time to protect care for more urgently ill patients.
Ask whether monitoring is overdue
A visit, blood test or medication review may be required before renewal.
Controlled-medicine rule: Raleigh Medical Group does not fill narcotic pain medication or other controlled-substance requests after normal business hours.
Do not wait for the final dose. Weekends, holidays, prior authorization and required monitoring can extend the real pharmacy turnaround time.
Start with primary care
How to avoid a delayed or denied specialist referral
Discuss the problem with your primary doctor
The internist may be able to manage the condition without an added specialist cost.
Document the plan criteria
Insurance may require symptoms, prior treatment or testing before referral approval.
Request the referral before booking
Raleigh Medical Group asks for at least two days’ notice for non-emergency referrals.
Verify insurer authorization
When the plan requires approval, it must be received before the specialist visit.
Confirm the approved specialist
Check the provider, practice, location, date range and number of approved visits.
Keep the reference information
Save the referral date, authorization number and insurer call reference.
Referral-status script

Check the service date first
How to pay the correct Raleigh Medical Group bill
Payment change on June 12, 2026: The official Pay My Bill page provides a legacy payment option for services received before June 12, 2026 and a separate current payment option. Start on the official payment page rather than using a saved processor link.
Read the billing organization
Confirm whether the statement is from Raleigh Medical Group or one of its subsidiary practices or endoscopy centers.
Check the service date
Determine whether the visit occurred before or on or after June 12, 2026.
Use the matching official payment button
Avoid using a browser bookmark from a previous statement.
Compare the explanation of benefits
Match the charge, plan payment, contractual adjustment and patient responsibility.
Call when the amount does not match
Contact the billing department before paying a disputed balance.
Save confirmation
Keep the date, amount, account number and processor confirmation.

Billing-question script

Written authorization
How to request Raleigh Medical Group medical records
Download the official authorization
Use Raleigh Medical Group’s Medical Record Release Authorization rather than an incomplete written note.
Identify the patient
Include legal and former names, birth date, telephone, address and email as requested.
Select the record source and recipient
State whether records are being obtained from another provider or released by RMG.
Choose the date range and record types
Options include office notes, cardiology or EKG reports, immunizations, laboratory or pathology, procedures and radiology reports.
State the purpose
The form includes continuity of care, transfer, disability, insurance, litigation, workers’ compensation and personal copy.
Sign and submit
The form lists Raleigh Medical Group’s Barrett Drive address, main telephone and fax.
Sensitive information: The authorization explains that the record may include information involving HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted disease, behavioral or mental health, and alcohol or drug-abuse treatment.
Possible fees: Raleigh Medical Group contracts with a record-copy service and reserves the right to charge fees allowed under North Carolina law. A minimal continuity-of-care or personal copy may sometimes be transferred as a courtesy.
Inpatient care uses hospitalists
What happens if a Raleigh Medical Group patient is hospitalized?
Raleigh Medical Group states that it works with hospitalist physicians at UNC Rex Hospital and WakeMed. Hospitalists are internal-medicine physicians who provide round-the-clock care inside the hospital.
Tell hospital staff who your primary doctor is
Provide the Raleigh Medical Group clinician’s name and current medication list.
Understand who manages the admission
The hospitalist, not necessarily your office physician, directs the daily inpatient treatment.
Confirm discharge instructions
Obtain the medicine changes, pending results, warning signs and required follow-up date.
Schedule post-hospital follow-up
Contact Raleigh Medical Group after discharge so the primary-care record and treatment plan can be updated.
Billing difference: Hospital, hospitalist, radiology, laboratory and Raleigh Medical Group services may produce separate claims or statements.
Confirm the subsidiary practice

05
Start referrals two days early
Insurance authorization must be ready before the specialist visit.
06
