Set up a payment plan
Set up a payment plan
A payment plan may let you pay an eligible Silent Hill Health balance over time instead of paying the full amount at once. Payment plans may be available for certain hospital, emergency, Brookhaven, outpatient, lab, imaging, or other care balances after insurance, discounts, and adjustments have processed.
Payment plan availability may depend on the account balance, date of service, account status, insurance activity, financial assistance review, payment history, and current billing rules.
Quick summary
- Payment plans may be available for eligible balances.
- Insurance, financial assistance, and billing adjustments should be reviewed first when possible.
- You may need the account number, balance, preferred payment amount, and payment method.
- Missed payments may affect the plan or account status.
- Ask whether the plan stops final notices or collection activity.
- Ask about financial assistance if the monthly payment is still unaffordable.
What balances may qualify
