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.
