Meadows has partnered with
AccessOne, a medical credit card
company that offers an interest-free
option or a low-interest long-term
payment plan option for our patients
based on their account balance.
AccessOne is an affordable and
structured program that allows
patients to pay both hospital and
physician practice bills using this
medical credit card. Patients can
set up one monthly payment,
consolidating all bills, including
bills for family members/friends. It
provides the benefit of a revolving
charge account while eliminating the
negative features of a credit card (no
default interest, prepayment penalties,
etc.). There are several benefits to our
patients, including that AccessOne:
allows our patients to initiate a
payment plan at any access point or
during the billing cycle, allows patients
to consolidate all of your Meadows
Regional encounters to one monthly
bill and establish one payment plan for
all bills, and has more flexible payment
options, including credit card, check
and auto-draft. Everyone is accepted
into this program, and there are no
credit checks or credit reporting.
