Key benefits of MyChart
Explore some of the key benefits of using MyChart to manage your healthcare journey.
- Simplified Appointment Scheduling
When it comes to scheduling appointments, MyChart simplifies the appointment booking process, making it a hassle-free experience. Whether you need a routine check-up or a specialized consultation, MyChart empowers you to schedule your appointments, review past appointments and even schedule a virtual visit or e-visit with ease in the MyChart app or website, eliminating the need for lengthy phone calls or some in-person visits. - Appointment Reminders
Gone are the days when the only reminder you receive regarding your appointment is the appointment card stuck to your fridge. Patients with scheduled appointments will receive a confirmation outreach before their scheduled appointment. This text, call or e-mail (depending on your choice of communication) will ask questions so you can confirm, cancel or request to reschedule your appointment(s). - Efficiency in Appointment Scheduling & Check-in
MyChart allows you to request appointments at your convenience, reducing wait times and ensuring prompt access to medical care at Northeast Georgia Health System. The convenience of electronic appointment scheduling ensures that you can secure the care you need precisely when you need it. If an upcoming appointment is eligible for eCheck-in, you can use it to save time by completing tasks before you arrive, such as:- Paying visit copays, pre-payments and balance payments
- Verifying or updating insurance, demographics, medications, allergies, current health issues and guarantor information
- Answering appointment-related questionnaires
- Request Medication Refills
You can skip the phone call and request that your medication be refilled online. You can also receive reminders to refill your medication and get updates on the progress of a current medication being filled. - Access family records
If you manage your child’s or aging parent’s records, you know having easy access to their EHR is important. Now, with MyChart, you can access everyone’s record and schedule appointments in one place! - Contact your provider
