Thank you for choosing Altru Health System for your healthcare needs. At Altru, we are committed to minimizing healthcare costs and reducing our environmental impact. To support these efforts, we have converted all MyChart users to paperless billing as of June 1, 2022. This means you will no longer receive a bill in the mail.
What you need to know:

- On our mobile app, statements are found under the Billing tile. You may opt out of paperless billing and change back to paper statements from these billing sections.
- When a new statement is ready for you to review, we will send you a monthly notification to your email address. Please ensure your contact information, including your email address is correct.
- If you need a paper copy of your statement, you can print directly from MyChart.
