Share Your Voice: Contact the State Health Plan Board of Trustees

Last week, WakeMed learned that effective January 1, 2027, our health system will be considered a non-preferred provider for employees and retirees covered by the State Health Plan (SHP). This means the SHP will potentially charge them substantially more for most WakeMed services. Many patients, employees and members of the community have asked how they can support WakeMed in encouraging the SHP to reconsider this decision. We encourage all members of the communities WakeMed serves to share their thoughts and support with the SHP Board of Trustees and have made a template letter of support available on our website.

Travel Plans? Your Rezilient with WakeMed Benefit Comes, Too. 


If you are traveling this summer, remember that all WakeMed medical plan members and eligible dependents (age 7+) can access the Rezilient with WakeMed benefit – including virtual primary and urgent care visits at $0 out of pocket – anywhere in the United States. Don’t let unexpected healthcare needs ruin your vacation this summer. Whether you need advice on a minor illness or injury or need help with an out-of-town prescription refill, Rezilient with WakeMed has got you covered.
