SHERIDAN – Sheridan Memorial Hospital is excited to announce its transition to a new digital patient billing system, set to go live April 1. This innovation marks an important step toward improving the overall patient experience while reinforcing SMH’s commitment to efficiency, sustainability and accessibility in healthcare.
By moving away from traditional paper billing methods, Sheridan Memorial Hospital aims to streamline the billing process, reduce operational costs and support environmental sustainability — all while providing patients with a more user-friendly and secure platform to manage their accounts.
Key benefits for patients include:
- Enhanced accessibility: Patients can quickly and securely access their billing information anytime, anywhere.
- Convenience and flexibility: Manage bills with ease and explore payment options tailored to individual needs.
- Sustainability: Reduced paper usage aligns with SMH’s focus on environmental responsibility.
This digital shift allows SMH to focus on what truly matters — providing excellent, patient-centered care. The streamlined billing system will not only reduce the administrative workload but also enable the hospital’s staff to dedicate more time to critical patient care operations.
To further support financial accessibility, SMH will continue offering the ClearBalance Patient Financing Program, which provides patients with flexible payment plans, featuring 0% APR financing, no credit barriers and the option to consolidate family healthcare expenses for greater convenience.
“Our transition to digital patient billing marks a major milestone for the hospital and our community,” said Nathan Stutte, SMH chief financial officer. “This strategic move is a win for everyone — streamlining processes for our team while delivering an improved, seamless billing experience for our patients. Coupled with the ClearBalance program, we’re proud to continue making healthcare more affordable and stress-free.”
SMH encourages patients to learn more about the new digital platform and explore its benefits. Information and assistance are readily available at www.sheridanhospital.org/billing-services or by contacting the SMH Medical Billing Team at billingteam@sheridanhospital.org.
