Understanding Your WVU Medicine Bill
Before you pay, it’s important to understand what you’re actually being billed for. WVU Medicine bills can include:
Hospital Services
These are services you received at hospital locations, which might include:
- Inpatient stays
- Emergency department visits
- Outpatient procedures
- Diagnostic imaging
- Laboratory tests
Professional Services
These are services related to a doctor or physician, such as:
- Office visits
- Consultations
- Surgical procedures
- Specialist evaluations
Your bill will indicate which type of service you’re being charged for. If you see multiple visit accounts on your bill, this is normal! According to the MyWVUChart portal, “A visit account is how your charges are grouped together to bill insurance, and usually represents your billing activity for a single visit. You may have multiple visit accounts, each with their own balance.”
Financial Assistance Options
If you’re struggling to pay your bill, WVU Medicine offers several options:
Payment Plans
WVU Medicine offers zero-interest payment plans that can help make your medical bills more manageable. You can set these up directly through MyWVUChart or by contacting a financial counselor.
Financial Assistance Program
WVU Medicine provides financial assistance for qualifying patients. To explore this option:
- Review the financial assistance policy on the WVU Medicine website

How do I sign up?
There are several different methods of MyWVUChart signup that might be used by different departments across your healthcare organization:
- Clinic staff might sign you up directly while youre at the front desk or in the exam room.
- You might receive a MyWVUChart activation code on your After Visit Summary or on a billing statement.
- You might receive a text message or email with an activation code when you come in for a visit.
- You might be able to use self-signup online to create a MyWVUChart account by matching your information against what is on file in your medical record or with third-party identity verification.
I didn’t receive my two-step verification code. What should I do?
Try checking the spam or junk folders in your email. If the email with your code is not there, try clicking Resend Code. If you still didnt receive the email, it could be that your account has a different email address on file. If you have multiple email accounts, check one of the others to see if the verification code was sent there instead. If none of your accounts received the email, it could be that we dont have an email address on file. If this is the case, call our MyWVUChart Patient Support Line at 1-866-982-4278 for quick support.
