How to Pay Your HealthQuest Bill Online
Now let’s get to the main point – how to actually pay your bill online. HealthQuest has made this process super straightforward through their Patient Notebook system.
Step 1: Create Your Patient Notebook Account
First thing’s first you need to create your Patient Notebook account. This is where you’ll be able to
- View your statements electronically
- Track your billing history
- Make payments securely
To set up your account, visit the HealthQuest website (hqptcom) and navigate to “Patient Resources” then select “Pay your Bill Online.” You could also directly go to https //hqptcom/patient-resources/pay-your-bill-online/.
Step 2: Select Your Location
On the bill pay page you’ll need to select the specific HealthQuest location where you received treatment. This is an important step because your billing is tied to your particular treatment location. The dropdown menu includes all their locations across
- Michigan (Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, Wayne, and St. Clair counties)
- Florida (Naples)
- Ohio (Toledo)
Step 3: Gather Your Statement Information
To complete your enrollment in the Patient Notebook system, you’ll need two pieces of information from your statement:
- Account Number
- Statement ID Number
If you’re not sure where to find these, don’t worry! The HealthQuest bill pay page includes a “See sample statement here” link that shows you exactly where these numbers are located on your statement.
Step 4: Complete Enrollment & Make Payment
After providing the required information, follow the prompts to finish setting up your Patient Notebook account. Once enrolled, you can view your statements and make payments using your preferred payment method.

Understanding Your HealthQuest Statement
Sometimes looking at a medical bill can feel like trying to decode an alien language, am I right? HealthQuest does a good job explaining common terms on their bill pay page:
Common Treatment Terms
Neuromuscular Re-education:
This technique helps restore normal movement and coordination. Examples include:
- Balance exercises
- Strengthening with manual resistance
- Joint stabilization exercises
Therapeutic Exercise:
These are activities targeting specific muscles or muscle groups:
- Using weights, Therabands, or body weight for resistance
- Range of motion activities (table slides, heel slides)
- Cardio activities (biking, rowing, treadmill work)
Manual Therapy:
This is hands-on treatment from your therapist:
- Joint/muscle stretching
- Massage techniques
- Graston tool techniques

Insurance Terms
Coinsurance: The percentage you share with your insurance for allowed treatment costs.
Example: If insurance allows $100 for treatment and you have 20% coinsurance, you pay $20 and insurance covers $80.
Copays: A flat fee you pay per visit.
Example: If your copay is $25, you pay that amount regardless of the total cost of treatment.

My Personal Experience with HealthQuest Bill Pay
I started going to HealthQuest in Rochester Hills last year for shoulder therapy after a nasty fall while hiking. Initially, I was paying my bills the old-fashioned way – writing checks after each session. One day, the receptionist mentioned their online bill pay system.
Since switching to the Patient Notebook, I’ve saved so much time! I used to forget about bills until the last minute, but now I get email notifications when new statements are ready. Plus, being able to see my treatment history and payments in one place has been super helpful for my HSA reimbursements.
The system isn’t perfect (what is?), and sometimes it takes a few seconds to load, but overall, it’s wayyy more convenient than my previous method of payment.
