Send Portal Messages

Send and read secure clinic messages from the patient portal.

Use portal messages when your clinic has enabled secure messaging for your account.

Who does this: Patients and caregivers.

Steps

Open the patient portal.

Select Messages.

Review existing messages from You and Clinic.

Choose a topic if the topic selector is shown (for example General question or Appointment question).

Enter your message in the message box.

Select Attach to add a file, or Mention document to reference a shared document (optional).

Select Send.

The new message appears in the thread.

Select an attachment if one appears in a received message and you need to download it.

Common pitfall: Do not use portal messages for emergencies.

Troubleshooting

I see "No messages yet." You can start a new message if the message box is available.

The message will not send. Check that the message has text, then try again.
