Happier Patients

I LOVE the consolidated billing!  It came promptly & I didn’t get a run of bills for months and months.
– Patient, AdventHealth

It’s a great portal. It’s been the easiest payment experience for hospital bills in my life.
– Patient, AdventHealth

So dang easy…. LOVE it
– Patient, AdventHealth

I am very grateful that you have allowed… payments on my multiple accounts over the past year. This is very helpful financially.
– Patient, AdventHealth

Much easier with the payment option connected to an access code vs. having to log in through my health account. That latter system needs a lot of work …..
– Patient, AdventHealth

As pleasant as paying a bill can be!
– Patient, AdventHealth
