Dignity Health's online bill pay system lets you pay your medical bills directly through their patient portal without mailing a check or calling a payment line.
Dignity Health operates hospitals and medical centers across Arizona, Nevada, and California. When you receive a bill from a Dignity Health facility, you can pay it through their online portal by logging in with your account credentials, entering your payment method, and confirming the amount and due date. The system accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank transfers.
The portal is available 24/7, and payments typically process within one to three business days depending on your payment method. If you pay by electronic bank transfer, the transaction may take longer than a credit or debit card payment. You can set up a one-time payment or schedule recurring payments if you have an ongoing balance.

Creating and Logging Into Your Dignity Health Account
To use the bill pay system, you need a Dignity Health patient portal account. Visit dignityhealth.org and select the option to create a new account or log in if you already have one. You will need your date of birth, medical record number (found on your bill or insurance paperwork), and a valid email address.
If you do not know your medical record number, call the billing department phone number on your bill. They can provide it over the phone so you can complete your account setup. Once your account is active, you can log in anytime to view your bills, payment history, and upcoming due dates.
Entering Your Payment Information
After logging in, navigate to the bill pay or payments section of the portal. You will see a list of outstanding balances organized by facility and service date. Select the bill or bills you want to pay and enter the amount you wish to pay toward each one.
The portal will then ask you to choose your payment method: credit card, debit card, or bank account. If you use a credit or debit card, enter the card number, expiration date, and CVV. If you choose a bank transfer, provide your routing number and account number. The system encrypts this information, but do not save payment details on a shared or public computer.
Processing Time and Payment Confirmation
After you submit your payment, the portal displays a confirmation number when ready. Write down or save this number for your records. Credit and debit card payments usually post to your account within one business day. Bank transfers may take two to three business days to clear, depending on your bank and the time of day you submit the payment.
You will receive an email confirmation at the address associated with your account. If you do not receive a confirmation email within a few hours, check your spam folder or log back into the portal to verify the payment went through. The portal shows your payment history and current balance at any time.
Setting Up Automatic or Recurring Payments
If you have a payment plan or ongoing balance, you can set up automatic payments through the portal. Select the option for recurring or scheduled payments and choose how often you want to pay (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). Enter the amount and the date you want the payment to process each cycle.
You can modify or cancel automatic payments anytime by logging into your account and adjusting your payment schedule. Dignity Health will send you a reminder email before each automatic payment processes. If you need to stop payments temporarily, you can pause them without canceling the entire setup.
What to Do If You Cannot Pay Online
If you do not have internet access, do not have a patient portal account, or prefer not to pay online, you have other options. You can mail a check or money order to the address printed on your bill. Include your account number or medical record number with your payment so it posts to the correct account.
You can also call the billing department number on your bill to pay over the phone using a credit card, debit card, or bank account information. Some Dignity Health facilities accept payments in person at their billing office during business hours. Ask your bill or the portal for the nearest location and hours.
Troubleshooting Common Payment Issues
If your payment is declined, check that your card has not expired and that you have entered the correct information. Some cards block medical payments as a fraud prevention measure; contact your card issuer to authorize the transaction and try again. If a bank transfer fails, verify that your routing and account numbers are correct.
If you cannot log into your account, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it. If you still cannot access your account after resetting your password, call the patient portal support number listed on dignityhealth.org. They can help you regain access or troubleshoot account issues.

What if my bill is in collections?
