Patients who receive care at any Banner Health hospital, physician office, home care facility or other provider will receive one consolidated bill and will also have the option of paying all balances from multiple accounts from the consolidated statement.

We wanted to streamline this process so they have one bill that’s easy to understand without all the paper clutter.”
