Frequently asked questions

What does a bill from Main Line Health look like?

Can I use third-party payment platforms to pay my Main Line Health bill?

Main Line Health is not affiliated with any third-party online payment services outside of those officially listed on our site. To ensure your payment is received securely:

Electronic payments should be made only through our official MyChart portal.

Using unauthorized platforms may result in delays or misdirected payments. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact our customer service department at 484.337.1970.

I see the same item listed on the physicians bill and the hospital bill. Why?

Every hospital visit involves both physician and hospital resources. Although the hospital and the provider may use the same language to describe each charge, their bills are for separate services. The physician's bill will be for professional assessment, direction and oversight. The hospital's bill will be for the technical resources, including procedures and equipment, medications and supplies.

What is a hospital outpatient department (HOPD)?

Hospital outpatient department practices (HOPDs) are considered departments of a hospital entity, even if the practice is in an offsite location. Because the hospital licenses these practices and employs the staff involved in patient care, they are designated as hospital outpatient departments under federal guidelines.

Main Line Health is focused on meeting the evolving health needs of our communities while delivering safe, high-quality, equitable and affordable care to our patients. Hospital outpatient departments will be better positioned to:

  • Manage complex care, including advanced medication therapies
  • Ensure long-term access to essential services

While your care team and location will stay the same, the services we offer and the way we bill for services may be different.
