How to Pay Your Reading Hospital Bill Online

Paying your medical bills can be a headache, especially if you received care from multiple providers. Reading Hospital aims to simplify the process by allowing you to view and pay all your hospital bills in one place through their online bill pay system. As someone who recently had a procedure done at Reading Hospital, I learned firsthand how user-friendly their billing system is. In this article, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process for paying your Reading Hospital bill online.

Getting Started with Online Bill Pay

The first step is accessing Reading Hospital’s online bill pay website. You can find it by going to https://towerhealth.org and clicking on “Pay My Bill” at the top of the page. This will redirect you to the login page for the online bill pay system.

If it’s your first time using the system you’ll need to create an account. Have your Reading Hospital account number handy – this can be found on any statement or bill from the hospital. The signup process only takes a couple minutes. All you need is your account number name, date of birth, email address, and phone number.

Once your account is created, you can start viewing and paying your Reading Hospital bills immediately. The dashboard provides an overview of any outstanding balances, recent payments, and estimated costs for upcoming appointments. Everything is neatly organized so you can see all of your hospital bills in one place.

Making a Payment

To pay a bill just click on the “Pay Now” button next to the relevant statement. This will open a payment window where you can enter your payment details. Reading Hospital offers several payment options

• Credit/Debit Card – Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover are accepted. You can enter your card details directly on the secure payment page.

• Electronic Check – Provide your bank account number and routing number to pay directly from your checking account.

• Mail – If you prefer to pay by check or money order via mail, the system will generate a payment coupon for you to include.

During the payment process, you’ll have the chance to designate funds towards specific charges on your bill. For example, you can allocate $200 towards your room charge and $100 towards your lab test fees. This helps ensure your payments are applied accurately.

Once you submit the payment, you’ll receive an immediate email confirmation with your receipt. The funds are typically posted to your account within 1-2 business days.

Payment Plan Option

If you can’t pay your full balance right now, Reading Hospital offers interest-free payment plans. You can apply for a plan directly through the online bill pay system. Simply choose the “payment plan” option when viewing your statement and follow the instructions.

Payment plans allow you to break down your balance into smaller monthly payments over 6, 12, or 18 months. There is an upfront fee to set up a plan, but no hidden charges or penalties. As long as you make the monthly payments on time, Reading Hospital will not send your account to collections. This gives you financial breathing room after a large hospital bill.

Additional Features

Here are some other useful features available through Reading Hospital’s online bill pay system:

• View statements – Access PDF copies of all your billing statements in one convenient place.

• Update insurance – Have new insurance? You can update your policy details online to ensure proper billing.

• Estimate costs – Get price estimates for tests, procedures, and other services to understand potential out-of-pocket costs.

• Autopay enrollment – Set up recurring payments from a credit card or bank account so your bills are paid automatically each month.

• Communication preferences – Opt into paperless billing and receive statements electronically rather than by mail.

I’m always impressed by how quickly and thoroughly the billing reps respond to inquiries. They work hard to provide patients with the best possible billing experience.
