Write a check or obtain a money order for the balance due.
-
Make it payable to your specific Tenet physician or facility.
-
Include your account number on the memo line.

Allow 7-10 business days for it to reach the billing office and be posted.
-
Make sure it’s sent at least few days before the due date.
Mailing a check ensures your payment gets there safely, as long as you allow enough delivery time.

Once enrolled, you don’t have to do anything further – your Tenet bill is paid automatically each month!
Avoid Late Fees and Other Charges
It’s essential to pay your Tenet bill in full by the due date listed to avoid late fees or other penalties. If your account becomes past due, you may incur:
-
Late payment fees, often $10-25.
-
Interest charges on the balance owed.
-
Disruption of additional care/services until paid.
-
Long term impacts to your credit score if sent to collections.
You can prevent issues by paying on time, scheduling autopay, or contacting Tenet if you need to make alternate payment arrangements. Never ignore a past due medical bill.
