Billing and Financial Services
Ochsner recently transitioned to a new statement vendor. If you have received an older statement, we apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience as we resume our paper statement process. Also, if you would like to move to paperless billing, learn about text and email statements/reminders below on this webpage.
Paperless billing
At Ochsner, we choose to offer paperless billing because it's more secure, timely, convenient and eco-friendly.
Don't forget to update your email to receive MyOchsner notifications about your bill.
To opt out of paperless billing:
- Log in to your MyOchsner account
- From your menu, go to the "billing summary" page
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen below the account boxes, to "if you would like to receive paper statements, you may cancel paperless billing"
- Click "cancel paperless billing" and confirm your selection
We know that hospital and physician bills along with health insurance claims can be confusing. Additional information about the billing and financial services at Ochsner is provided in this section of our website to help you better understand our patient billing process and to answer some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.
