Patient Portal FAQs

Click through the below frequently asked questions on the Emory Healthcare Patient Portal.

What is the Emory Healthcare Patient Portal?

The Emory Healthcare Patient Portal is a convenient and secure health-management tool you can use anywhere you have access to the Internet. Through the portal, you can:

  • Correspond with your providers!
  • Request a prescription refill!
  • Check on your lab results!
  • View your health care record!
I don’t see all of my providers listed in the portal? Why?

Emory Healthcare is currently in the process of adding providers at The Emory Clinic to the portal. You will be able to communicate via the portal only with those providers who are already participating. All providers will be active in the portal by December 2012.

My provider is not yet participating in the portal. When can I expect to be able to use the portal?

Emory Healthcare is in the process of adding providers to the portal. If your provider is not yet in the portal, he/she will not yet be able to provide you with an invitation. All providers will be active in the portal by the end of 2012. If you have multiple providers at Emory Healthcare, you will be able to use the portal as soon as just one of them is active in the portal. However, you will be able to send messages only to active providers.

If your provider has already been added to the portal, you will receive details on participating in the Emory Healthcare Patient Portal at your next visit.

How old do you have to be to participate in the portal?

You must be at least 18 years old to participate in the Emory Healthcare Patient Portal.
