YNHHS Moves to Paperless Billing

To deliver a more secure, convenient and eco-friendly way to view your bills, YNHHS switched to paperless billing for MyChart users on Jan. 3, 2023. Instead of receiving a paper bill by mail each month, MyChart users will now receive an email, text, and/or notification when they have a new Yale New Haven Health, Northeast Medical Group or Yale Medicine balance available for viewing.

If you prefer a paper statement, you can opt out and change back to paper statements.

For additional information, visit our website at ynhhs.org/patient-care/billing-insurance/Paperless-Billing.
