HealthCare MyWay makes it easy and convenient to submit non-emergency communications in just a few minutes and at your convenience!

Once you are an established patient with our office and registered with Healthcare MyWay, you can quickly and easily request/cancel office appointments, request a lab or test result, request medication refills, request a referral, or notify us of a change of address or insurance.

Once you ask your provider to communicate with you using HealthCare My Way, your provider, a provider-designated user or authorized member of a provider group may review your health record and adjust it and respond to your messages. If you have granted your provider access to your HealthCare My Way record, you should not assume that your provider is actively reviewing changes and you should actively communicate changes that concern you and your provider.
