Galway University Hospitals go live with ‘Online Bill Payment’

Galway University Hospital (University Hospital Galway and Merlin Park University Hospital) have recently added a pay your hospital bill online function to the Saolta website. Patients can now use the website to pay their hospital bill securely using a credit or debit card. When completing the process online, patients will be requested to input the invoice number and their details.

Commenting Dermot Sheriff, Finance Department, Saolta University Health Care Group said, “We hope that the addition of this facility will make it more convenient for patients to pay hospital charges.  Patients can still pay by post or in person as they traditionally could and this new facility gives them a further option. We have developed this system to the highest internet security standards so patients can be assured that their data will be protected at all times in the payment process”.

The payment facility can be accessed from the home page of the Saolta website at www.saolta.ie

The Saolta Group plans to extend this facility to other hospitals in the group over the next year.
