A Guide to Paying Your Bill at Good Samaritan Hospital

Having to go to the hospital can be stressful enough without having to worry about how you’ll pay the medical bills afterward At Good Samaritan Hospital, we aim to make the billing and payment process as seamless as possible for our patients In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk through everything you need to know about viewing and paying your Good Samaritan Hospital medical bill online.

Overview of Medical Billing at Good Samaritan

Good Samaritan Hospital provides top-notch healthcare to residents of San Jose, CA and surrounding communities. As a faith-based, not-for-profit hospital, caring for our patients is our number one priority.

After receiving treatment at Good Samaritan, you’ll get a summary bill for the medical services provided during your visit. This will include charges for the room, procedures, doctor fees, medications, supplies, and more.

Bills are typically sent out within 30 days after discharge. Payment is due upon receipt of the bill. You then have multiple options to pay your Good Samaritan Hospital bill, which I’ll outline in this guide.

Online Bill Pay Options

The easiest and most convenient way to view and pay your Good Samaritan Hospital bill is online through the MyHealthONE patient portal.

MyHealthONE gives you 24/7 access to your medical bills, records, and more To view and pay bills online, you have two options

1. MyHealthONE Account

• Register for a free MyHealthONE account
• Login anytime to view new bills, balance, and payment history
• Securely pay bills online by credit card or e-check

2. Guest Pay

• Pay as a guest without creating an account
• Enter your invoice number and guest pay info to make a one-time payment

I highly recommend setting up a MyHealthONE account to access your bills online. But guest pay is available if you just need to make a quick one-time payment.

How to Set Up a MyHealthONE Account

Signing up for a free MyHealthONE account takes just minutes but provides ongoing access to view and pay bills online.

Visit MyHealthONE.com and click on “Sign Up”. Provide your name date of birth email address, and create a password.

You’ll need to verify your identity by entering a activation code sent to your email. Once your account is activated, you can login anytime to view new bills and make payments.

Within your MyHealthONE account you can see your account balance, payment history, download statements, and more. It’s your one-stop-shop for managing healthcare bills!

Making a One-Time Guest Payment

If you just need to quickly pay your most recent bill, guest pay allows you to do so without creating a MyHealthONE account.

On the Good Samaritan Hospital Bill Pay page, click on “Pay as a Guest”.

Enter your invoice number, typically a 9-digit number found on your statement. Then complete the billing and payment fields. Guests can pay by credit card, debit card, HSA or FSA account.

Review your payment details and complete the checkout process. Your bill will immediately be marked as paid.

While guest pay is quick, a MyHealthONE account is still recommended for ongoing bill management, payment history access, and autopay options.

1. Log into your MyHealthONE account

• Debit Cards – Can be used like a credit card

• Bank Account (eCheck) – Direct transfer from checking or savings account

• Apple Pay – For easy mobile payment through MyHealthONE app

I recommend electronic bank transfers to avoid credit/debit card fees. But all options give you the flexibility to pay your hospital bill how it suits you best.

Autopay for Automatic Payments

The most convenient way to manage hospital bills is setting up automatic payments through MyHealthONE autopay. This ensures you never miss a payment.

When logged into your MyHealthONE account, check the “AutoPay” box when making a payment. This authorizes repeating automated payments going forward.

On the due date each month, your stored payment method will be charged automatically to pay the amount due. You’ll receive an email confirmation with details.

Autopay saves you time while avoiding late fees. Set it and forget it for one less healthcare bill to worry about.

Getting Bill Alerts and Reminders

Along with autopay, you can receive proactive alerts and reminders about new bills and payments coming due. This helps you stay on top of healthcare payments.

Within the MyHealthONE Notifications section, select your preferences for:

• New Bill Alerts – Get notified when a new bill is ready

Receive alerts by email or text message. Add reminders to your calendar for easy access on the go. Never miss or forget a payment again!
