Frequently Asked Questions
We've listed answers to frequently asked questions about our online payment service below. If you need more information or an answer to a question not covered here, please contact customer service.
Which browsers do you support?
Our service supports Explorer (IE) Version 9 or higher, because these versions support "strong" encryption. (Encryption allows us to encode your information so that no one else on the Internet can read it.) Our service also supports the current versions of Chrome 51, Firefox 46, Opera 37 and Safari 9.1.
What information do I need in order to make an electronic payment?
All information required to make an online payment is clearly listed on the payment screens. If you attempt to make an online payment and have forgotten to complete all required fields, you will receive a reminder so that you are aware of the missing item or items.
The balance due on my bill doesn't seem to be right. What should I do?
Please select Contact Us for contact information regarding your balance.
What if my payment account does not have sufficient funds to cover a payment?
We make withdrawals authorized by you from the financial account that you designate as the payment account. As with any payment account, you must provide sufficient funds to cover all payments. Since we have no knowledge of your account balance at any time, we cannot notify you if your payment account has insufficient funds. There may be additional charges for payments attempted against accounts with insufficient funds.
Is it safe to pay bills online using your service?
We are committed to protecting your personal information. Whenever you are paying bills, you are using a secure connection that fully protects your information. Data you provide cannot be viewed by anyone else on the Web. We do not share your information with anyone else.
Security is maintained by industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption and decryption technology. The SSL protocol is used to ensure that your information is sent directly to us, and that only we can decode it. Please take notice of our security certificate listed on our online payment site.
Do you use cookies?
While you are using our service, we need to store some information on your computer's hard drive in the form of a cookie. (A cookie is a small file that a Web site puts on your hard drive so that it can retain information for later use.) For this reason, the cookie functionality must be enabled in your browser in order to use the digital billing system. However, the cookie will never read information from your hard drive or copy information about other sites that you visit.
What kind of access do you have to my banking (financial) account?
We only have access to your account to make payments that you have authorized. We never access your payment account(s) without your authorization and, as noted above, we never have information about your account balance.
The Owensboro Health Emergency Department is committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive medical treatment to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
Patients who come to the emergency department, or who are in route via ambulance, can expect to be screened and treated for emergency medical conditions by qualified healthcare professionals. Patients will also be stabilized prior to discharge or transfer, and we will never delay a medical screening examination to obtain financial information.
Our emergency department staff is ready to assist with your medical emergency regardless of your financial circumstances.
