bjc.org

BJC's homepage puts both tasks one click away: select Pay a Bill to reach the billing and financial assistance section, or Login to MyChart to open your personal health record in a new tab. Both options appear under the "Find care" area of the homepage alongside Same-Day Care, Find a Provider, and Find a Location. You'll need your billing account details for payment, and your MyChart username and password for login. The site notes that JavaScript must be enabled for some forms to work.

Paying a Bill on bjc.org

Where the entry point leads

The Pay a Bill link on the homepage takes you to BJC's Billing & Financial Assistance section. From there you can handle payment and also review financial assistance options if you need help with costs.

What to have ready

• Your most recent BJC billing statement, which contains the account number and amount due
• A payment method (the site does not list specific payment platforms, so check the billing page for accepted options)
• The patient's name and date of birth if you're paying on someone else's behalf

Steps

1. Go to bjc.org.
2. Select Pay a Bill from the homepage.
3. On the Billing & Financial Assistance page, follow the payment prompts and enter your account information.
4. Confirm the amount and submit payment.
5. Save or print the confirmation for your records.

If cost is a concern

The same section includes financial assistance information. BJC also publishes a Price Transparency page under Billing & Financial Assistance where you can look up hospital rates. Use these pages if you want to understand charges before or after paying.

Logging In to MyChart

What MyChart is for

MyChart is BJC's patient portal for managing your personal health information — appointments, records, and communication with your care team. The homepage link is labeled Login to MyChart and opens in a new browser tab.

Steps

1. Go to bjc.org.
2. Select Login to MyChart.
3. Enter your MyChart username and password on the login page.
4. Complete any additional verification your account requires.
5. You'll land in your MyChart dashboard, where you can manage your health information.

Common snags

• New user? You need an activation code or an existing account invitation from BJC before you can log in. The homepage login link assumes you already have credentials.
• Forgotten password? Use the recovery option on the MyChart login page rather than the homepage.
• Page won't load properly? Enable JavaScript in your browser — the site states this requirement for its forms.

Quick Reference

Before You Start

Both tasks begin at bjc.org and require only the credentials or account details described above. If you're unsure which hospital or provider you're paying, the Find a Location and Find a Provider links on the same homepage can help you confirm before you proceed.

Go to bjc.org and use the Find a Provider or Find a Location links to search for care. BJC Health System spans 14 hospitals, multiple convenient care locations, virtual video visits, and outpatient centers, so the right entry point depends on whether you already know the doctor or facility you want. If you do, the location pages list addresses and phone numbers directly; if you don't, start with the provider search and filter by the type of care you need.

The two search paths on bjc.org

The homepage groups care into four types — Primary Care, Virtual Care, Convenient Care, and Emergency Care — each with a "More about" link. Choosing a category first narrows the location or provider list before you search.

Finding a specific hospital

BJC location pages follow a consistent format: name, street address, city, state, ZIP, and a direct phone number. Three examples listed on bjc.org:

• Barnes-Jewish Hospital — One Barnes-Jewish Hospital Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63110 — 314-747-3000
• Missouri Baptist Medical Center — 3015 N. Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63131 — 314-996-5000
• St. Louis Children's Hospital — One Children's Place, St. Louis, MO 63110 — 314-454-6000

Each entry links to a "More about" page for that facility. Use the phone number for questions the website doesn't answer, such as current visiting hours or department-specific scheduling.

If you need care today

Same-day options appear on the homepage under Same-Day Care, alongside the main search tools. Convenient care locations handle minor injuries and illnesses in person, and virtual care covers minor injuries or illnesses by video seven days a week. Emergency departments operate 24/7 across the system. Match the setting to the urgency before you search for a location — it changes which facilities are relevant.

Other actions available from the same page

The homepage also links to Pay a Bill, Login to MyChart, and a Billing & Financial Assistance section that includes a Price Transparency page. These sit alongside the search tools, so you can move between finding care and handling billing without leaving bjc.org.

Common snags

• JavaScript required for forms. The newsletter signup on the homepage states JavaScript must be enabled. If a form doesn't respond, check your browser settings before assuming the site is down.
• MyChart opens in a new tab. The login link is marked as opening in a new tab, so a pop-up blocker can silently stop it.
• Provider vs. location are separate searches. Searching a hospital name won't return individual doctors, and searching a doctor won't list every facility where they practice. Run both if you need a specific provider at a specific hospital.

BJC HealthCare organizes its care options by urgency and setting, and bjc.org gives you a direct entry point for each one. If you have a routine or ongoing health need, start with primary care. If you have a minor injury or illness and want to stay home, virtual care is available seven days a week. If you need same-day in-person treatment for something minor, use convenient care. If the situation is an emergency, go to an emergency department, which BJC staffs 24/7 across the system. The sections below explain what each option covers and how to find it on the site.

Primary care: your first contact for ongoing health

BJC describes primary care as your first contact to prevent, treat, and manage health conditions. Providers in this setting handle current conditions and work to prevent issues later in life.

Choose primary care when:

• You need a regular provider who knows your history
• You are managing a chronic condition
• You want preventive care or a general check-in on your health
• Your concern is not urgent and can be scheduled

On bjc.org, the "Find care" section links to a Primary Care page with more detail, plus a "Find a Provider" tool if you need to select a clinician.

Virtual care: minor issues, from home, seven days a week

BJC virtual care is for minor injuries or illnesses and is available seven days a week. You receive care by video rather than traveling to a location.

Choose virtual care when:

• The problem is minor (the site specifies minor injuries or illnesses)
• You want to avoid a trip to a facility
• You need an option outside standard clinic hours, since it runs seven days a week

The "Find care" area links to a Virtual Care page for details on how to start a visit.

Convenient care: same-day, in-person, for minor problems

Convenient care locations provide expert, in-person care for minor injuries and illnesses, and BJC positions them as same-day care that fits your schedule.

Choose convenient care when:

• You need to be seen today
• The issue is minor but you want an in-person exam
• Virtual care is not appropriate for your situation, but the problem is not an emergency

The "Find care" section links to a Convenient Care page, and the site's location tools help you find a nearby site.

Emergency care: 24/7 for urgent situations

BJC emergency departments provide advanced, compassionate care 24/7 across the health system. This is the option for emergencies, not for minor complaints that primary, virtual, or convenient care can handle.

Choose emergency care when the situation is urgent and cannot wait for a scheduled or same-day appointment. The "Find care" section links to an Emergency Care page, and you can locate a hospital through the system's location listings.

Quick comparison

Finding the right entry point on the site

The bjc.org homepage groups these options under "Find care," alongside "Same-Day Care," "Find a Provider," "Find a Location," "Pay a Bill," and "Login to MyChart." If you already know you need a specific service rather than a care setting, the site also lists specialties including Cancer, Heart and Vascular, Neurosciences, Women's Health, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Primary Care, and Transplant.

BJC operates across 14 hospitals plus convenient care locations, virtual care video visits, and outpatient centers. Individual hospital pages, such as Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, and St. Louis Children's Hospital, include addresses and phone numbers if you prefer to contact a facility directly.

Practical notes

• Billing and financial assistance information, including a price transparency page, is available under the patients and visitors section if cost is part of your decision.
• MyChart login is a separate entry from care-finding tools, so use it for existing records rather than choosing a care type.
• The newsletter signup on the homepage requires JavaScript and asks for first name, last name, email, and ZIP/postal code; it is optional and unrelated to receiving care.

BJC HealthCare is a health system that delivers patient-centered care across 14 hospitals, with services ranging from primary care to advanced specialty treatment. You can use bjc.org to find a provider or location, get same-day or virtual care, pay a bill, and log in to MyChart. This guide is for anyone who wants to understand what BJC offers and how to start using the site.

What BJC HealthCare is

BJC describes itself as delivering nationally recognized, patient-centered care across 14 hospitals. Its stated approach is to treat your health as the most important thing in the world, combining everyday care with advanced treatments at nationally ranked and community hospitals.

The system covers a broad set of specialties. According to the site, BJC has more award-winning specialties than any other provider in the region, spanning:

• Cancer
• Heart and Vascular
• Neurosciences
• Women's Health
• Orthopedics
• Pediatrics
• Primary Care
• Transplant

Care is delivered across 14 hospitals, multiple convenient care locations, virtual care video visits, and outpatient centers.

What you can do on bjc.org

The homepage groups its main actions into a short set of entry points. These are the practical things you can do:

Find care by type

The site separates care into four types, each with a different purpose:

• Primary Care — described as your first contact to prevent, treat, and manage health conditions. BJC providers handle current conditions and help prevent issues later in life.
• Virtual Care — care for minor injuries or illnesses from home, available seven days a week.
• Convenient Care — same-day, in-person care for minor injuries and illnesses at locations that fit your schedule.
• Emergency Care — advanced, compassionate care from Emergency Department staff, available 24/7 across the BJC Health System.

Find a provider or location

You can search for a provider or a location directly from the homepage. Location pages include details such as address and phone number. Examples from the site:

• Barnes-Jewish Hospital — One Barnes-Jewish Hospital Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63110, 314-747-3000
• Missouri Baptist Medical Center — 3015 N. Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63131, 314-996-5000
• St. Louis Children's Hospital — One Children's Place, St. Louis, MO 63110, 314-454-6000

Pay a bill and get financial assistance

Billing and financial assistance is a dedicated section of the site. It also links to a hospital rates disclosure page, which is where price transparency information lives. If cost is a concern, start with the financial assistance page rather than assuming you have to pay the full amount up front.

Log in to MyChart

MyChart is the patient portal entry point on the homepage. It opens in a new tab, so you'll leave bjc.org when you log in. Use it to manage your account and care information.

How to get started

1. Decide what kind of care you need. Use the four care types above as a filter: routine and ongoing needs point to primary care; minor issues that can wait point to virtual or convenient care; anything urgent points to emergency care.
2. Find a provider or location. Use Find a Provider or Find a Location from the homepage, then check the address and phone number on the location page.
3. For same-day needs, use Same-Day Care or Convenient Care. These are built for minor injuries and illnesses when you need to be seen quickly.
4. For billing questions, go to Billing & Financial Assistance. Check the financial assistance page before the price transparency page if you're worried about cost.
5. Set up or log in to MyChart. This is where your patient account lives.

Common sticking points

• The newsletter form requires JavaScript. The sign-up form on the homepage states you must have JavaScript enabled to use it. If the form doesn't respond, that's usually why.
• MyChart opens in a new tab. Expect to leave bjc.org when you log in.
• Virtual care is for minor issues. The site frames it as care for minor injuries or illnesses — not a substitute for emergency care.
• Emergency care is the 24/7 option. If your situation is urgent, the emergency department is the path the site points to, not virtual or convenient care.

What the site does not tell you

The homepage does not list prices, insurance networks, or appointment wait times. For anything cost-related, use the billing and financial assistance section and the hospital rates disclosure page. For coverage questions, contact the provider or location directly using the phone numbers on their pages.

BJC HealthCare lists eight specialty service areas on bjc.org: Cancer, Heart and Vascular, Neurosciences, Women's Health, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Primary Care, and Transplant. You can browse all of them from the "Explore our services" section of the homepage, and each one links to more detail about that specialty. The site also states that BJC has more award-winning specialties than any other provider in the region — a claim made by BJC itself, not an independent ranking.

The specialty services listed on bjc.org

The homepage describes the range as covering everything "from routine care to the most advanced treatments," so the specialty list sits alongside — not instead of — everyday care options.

How these specialties fit with the rest of BJC's care options

Specialty services are one of several ways to get care through BJC. The site separates them from four access points:

• Primary Care — your first contact for preventing, treating, and managing conditions. Note that Primary Care appears both as a specialty and as an entry point, since it's how most care starts.
• Virtual Care — video visits for minor injuries or illnesses, available seven days a week.
• Convenient Care — same-day, in-person care for minor injuries and illnesses.
• Emergency Care — 24/7 emergency departments across the system.

If your need is routine or urgent-but-minor, one of these four is usually the faster route. Specialty services are where you'd typically be referred for a specific condition or ongoing treatment.

Where these services are delivered

BJC says its care is available across 14 hospitals, multiple convenient care locations, virtual care video visits, and outpatient centers. Three hospitals are named directly on the homepage:

• Barnes-Jewish Hospital — One Barnes-Jewish Hospital Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63110 — 314-747-3000
• Missouri Baptist Medical Center — 3015 N. Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63131 — 314-996-5000
• St. Louis Children's Hospital — One Children's Place, St. Louis, MO 63110 — 314-454-6000

Because not every specialty is offered at every location, the practical next step after picking a specialty is to confirm which hospital or outpatient center near you provides it.

How to explore a specialty further

1. Go to bjc.org and find the "Explore our services" section.
2. Select the specialty you're interested in — for example, Cancer or Neurosciences.
3. Use Find a Provider or Find a Location to see who and where serves that specialty near you.
4. If you're unsure which specialty fits your situation, start with Primary Care or Virtual Care and ask for a referral.

What the site does and doesn't tell you

The homepage gives you the specialty categories, the care-access options, hospital names and phone numbers, and a general claim about award-winning specialties. It does not list, on this page, which specific conditions each specialty treats, wait times, insurance accepted, or costs. For billing questions, the site points to a separate Billing & Financial Assistance section, which includes a Price Transparency page for hospital rates. If cost or coverage matters to your decision, check those pages or call the hospital directly before scheduling.
