Effective August 1, 2022, South Shore Health will no longer accept cash for patient payments and donor contributions.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (Blue Cross) and South Shore Health System have launched a first-of-its-kind pilot program to improve patient care, slow the rise of health care costs, and change the way hospitals are paid.

In an effort to improve the billing process, enhance security, and be more environmentally friendly, South Shore Health is introducing paperless billing.
