Paperless Billing FAQ
Question: Why is Mary Washington Healthcare going paperless for MyChart users?
Answer: At Mary Washington Healthcare, we are committed to environmental sustainability while also reducing the expenses associated with the cost of healthcare. Not only is sending paper bills a financial burden, but it also comes at a cost to the environment: making paper requires cutting down trees and pollutes the water and air. Over 32 percent of our patients make payments via MyChart and more than 60 percent already communicate with us via MyChart.
