Schedule an Appointment with Your Primary Care Provider
You can use MyChart to schedule appointments with your primary care provider. To schedule an appointment with your primary care provider in MyChart, follow these steps:
- Log in to MyChart
- Select the Appointments Icon
- Select the Schedule an Appointment Button
- Select the provider you are interested in scheduling an appointment with
- Select the reason for the appointment then choose a day and time
- Verify your personal information or make changes
Send a Non-Urgent Message to Your Provider
- After logging into your MyChart account, hover over the Messaging tab and select “Ask a Question”
- Select the option that applies to you: new medical question, request a medication refill or customer service question.
- If you are sending a new medical question, choose a recipient, select a subject and compose your message. Select send when you are complete. You can expect a response within two business days.
View Upcoming Appointments or Complete Medical Questionnaires
After you login, your home page will show you a to-do list that will show any of the following:
- Upcoming appointments
- Health reminders
- eCheck-In and Medical Questionnaires for upcoming appointments
Here you can complete eCheck-In and answer questionnaires up to seven days prior to your visit, saving you time when you arrive.
The “eCheck-In” activity will ask you to review and verify your personal information, just as you would if you were registering with the front desk. You will then be prompted to complete any medical questionnaires related to your visit. If at any time you cannot complete part of the process, you can cancel or tap “Finish Later” to leave the activity and save your answers. If you come back later to continue, you’ll be returned to where you left off.
Interact with other apps
You also may import information from MyChart into other applications that, with your permission, can use that data to help you manage your care, medications, nutrition and more.
For example, Baptist Health Deaconess supports the Apple Health Records app on iPhone, which makes it easy for patients to see their available medical data from multiple providers whenever they choose.
With Apple Health Records, patients can have medical information from participating healthcare institutions organized into one view, covering allergies, conditions, immunizations, lab results, medications, procedures and vitals, and will receive notifications when their data is updated. Health Records data is encrypted and protected with the user’s iPhone passcode, Touch ID or Face ID.
