Effective March 16, 2020, patients receiving care from providers employed by North Oaks Health System will no longer receive two separate statements. For your convenience, you will receive a single statement with both your hospital and provider balances. The combined statement will clearly show the amount due. Payments are applied to the oldest balance unless you direct otherwise.
If you receive care from an independent health care provider not employed by North Oaks, you may receive a separate bill from that provider.
As always, the North Oaks Financial Assistance Center is available to answer any questions about bills, paperless billing, application of payments, payment assistance plans and other issues. They can be reached at (985) 230-2580. You can also access statements, make payments, set up payment plans and update your preferences on myCHART.
