Getting Started with Online Bill Pay

To start paying bills online at CHSBuffalo.org, you’ll first need to set up an account. There are three options:

• MyChart account – If you already have a MyChart patient portal account, you can use your username and password to log in and access online bill pay. This is the easiest option if you’ve already gone through MyChart registration.

• Create a MyChart account – If you don’t have a MyChart account, you can create one online to gain access to online bill pay. You’ll need to provide personal details like your name, date of birth and email address during registration.

• Pay as a guest – This option allows you to pay a bill without setting up an account. However, creating an account makes checking balances and payment history easier in the future.

Once you choose one of these options and provide any necessary information, you’ll reach the bill payment portal. Here you can view open balances, make one-time payments or set up recurring payments.
