Do hospitals accept cash or online payment?

[neku]

Hospital expenses can be very high and people do not have enough cash with them. Have you ever had to pay hospital expenses? If yes did you pay cash or make online payment?Which is the preferred online payment method at the hospital you used?

The nearest big hospital to me allows cash in its shop if you visit but I assume you would have to pay any other expenses online. For parking you have to use an app. I don't mind but some people find it confusing especially the very old who may not have a smartphone. They can get very confused by it. You would think that as many of the hospital patients are elderly they would have thought of this.

I believe you can do both. However, I have not made an online payment. I have always used cash.

ln my country the hospitals accept both means of payment to so that they can serve everyone as per their tastes and preferences regarding to the model of payments.

It mainly depends on the hospital. The world is going digital, so most hospitals would even prefer you make an online transfer rather than cash, cause it would be easier for them to carry or move around.

I have already paid hospital expenses a long time ago, but it was only in cash and I don't know why they didn't have online payment, because our system of such payments is very well developed

Almost all the hospitals in my country do accept both kinds of payment. The hospital are very fair enough to cover everyone seeking for the hospital services.

The hospital here in my region accepts both. You just have to make your payment and you get treated that's all.

I usually use credit card to pay for hospital expenses. This is convenient and I can cash back and reward points.

It seems not happening here in my place in fact, they ask for a deposit before you be allowed to get a treatment.

I think that institutions like the hospitals should be having so many payment methods to suit the needs for everyone.

Nearby, my home a hospital accepts both cash and online transfer. If you ask me I don't carry cash so prefer to pay bills through the money transfer app , Paytm which is popular in India.

I have seen so many hospitals in my country now using the national hospital insurance fund for payment of the medical and hospital bills.

In our country, almost all private hospitals accept online payment but very few state owned hospitals accept online payment
