MyCookChildren's paperless billing
Tired of sorting and shredding paper statements? Paperless billing through MyCookChildren's is a convenient way for families to view their medical bills online at any time. Every statement is organized and easily accessible in your child's MyCookChildren's patient portal. Families will receive emails or text messages when statements are available for viewing. You can opt-in to receive paper again, whenever you wish.
Paperless statements will start on May 1, 2024.
Paperless billing means an electronic statement will be sent to your MyCookChildren's portal instead of a paper billing statement being mailed to your home.
For our MyCookChildren's users who are the guarantor(s)* of an account(s), the default will now be set to paperless billing statement.
*The guarantor is the person responsible for paying the bill. Your responsibility is defined by signing.
All MyCookChildren's account holders were automatically opted into paperless billing on 5/1/2024. Paperless billing offers patients an environmentally friendly, convenient and secure way to view, manage and pay their bills online.
Cook Children's will share updates about billing changes through MyCookChildren's patient portal, on our website, on social media and in print signage at all of our locations. We will also include updates in our email newsletter for families who have opted-in to receive marketing updates.
