Unlock a world of healthier possibilities with the Paytient card.

Paytient is a benefit you can use if your employer or health plan sponsor it. Your Paytient membership is tied to your job or health plan, so if your employment or health plan coverage ends, so does your access to Paytient. But remember, if you still owe money on your Paytient card, you'll need to pay it back, even if you're no longer employed or enrolled in the sponsored health plan.

Your Paytient card can be used to pay for medical care at your preferred LCMC Health locations, including Children's Hospital New Orleans, Touro Infirmary, University Medical Center New Orleans, New Orleans East Hospital, West Jefferson Medical Center, East Jefferson General Hospital, and any LCMC Health Urgent Care.

Please note that merchants self-select the category in which transactions will be listed and some merchants may be owned by other companies, therefore the transactions may not be categorized as a medical expense as you might expect. If your card is unexpectedly declined, contact Paytient customer support.

Yes! As long as the bill associated with your LCMC Health Plan is still owed to the provider and not collected by a different party.

The default method of repayment for your Paytient plan is payroll deduction. You can choose to connect a bank account, debit, credit, or HSA/FSA account within the Paytient app to make additional payments toward any of your open repayment plans.

Sure! Paytient works for you and your loved ones.

Simply tap the purple card in the Paytient app to view your card information. You can then use this number for qualifying transactions or input the information into your healthcare provider’s payment system.

Your physical card will arrive at the address on file with your employer within 7-10 business days after you have created your account. In the meantime, your virtual card can be accessed immediately within your account. You also have the ability to add this card to your smartphone's digital wallet for use at medical facilities and pharmacies that accept digital forms of payment (e.g., Apple Pay, Samsung Pay).

Once your physical card arrives, you'll text the last four digits of your card from your phone to 573-269-3836 to activate! You can also activate your Paytient card within the app by swiping to the white card on your home screen. Once you see that card, press and hold, and then enter the last four digits of your card number.
