St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN) is switching to paperless billing later this month.<\/p>\n
A notification sent to patients indicated the change would happen on March 20.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This means you will no longer receive a bill in the mail,” the notification reads. “When a new statement is ready for your review, we will send a notification according to your communication preferences.”<\/p>\n
St. Luke’s encourages patients to use its MyChart patient portal. The health network has options for receiving\u00a0 notifications about bills via email, text message and \/ or push notification.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the health network confirmed that traditional paper billing will remain an option for those who prefer that method.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson declined to say how many SLUHN patients still rely on paper bills.<\/p>\n
Patients who have questions or need assistance to ensure they still receive paper bills can call the St. Luke’s billing department at 484-526-3150 or 1-800-218-7359.<\/p>\n
