Frequently asked questions
MaineHealth is partnering with PayZen for long-term payment plans. If you need a payment plan longer than 12 months, it will go through PayZen, a third-party service that specializes in patient financing. MaineHealth will continue to offer in-house plans, but only for 12 months or less.
PayZen specializes in billing and can offer dedicated help setting up and managing plans. PayZen uses smart tools to tailor payment options based on what’s manageable for patients. This shift helps MaineHealth focus on care, while PayZen helps patients navigate complex payment options.
Long-term plans (13+ months) will now go through PayZen. Plans are limited to balances of $15,000 or less and the maximum length of a plan is five years, or 60 months. If your balance is over $15,000, you’ll need to apply for financial assistance through MaineHealth.
Patients can no longer choose their exact monthly amount. PayZen offers repayment options based on your account balance, your payment history and other financial data.
Payment plans of longer than 12 months need to be set up through PayZen.
For balances under $15,000, and if you need 13+ months to pay, you should contact PayZen. If you need less than 13 months to pay, or for balances of more than $15,000, MaineHealth financial services is available to assist you.
