What is the Patient Portal?

The Patient Portal is a secure, interactive website that allows you to communicate with us in a HIPAA-secure manner. Using the portal, you will be able to view your medical history, medications, lab results, test results, and health reminders. You will also be able to send messages to any of the doctors or to the general staff regarding prescription refills, appointment requests, supplement orders, or other questions you might have. We can respond to your questions within the Patient Portal, at which time you will receive a notification in your regular email account. By keeping the information inside the Patient Portal, it remains private and secure.

What is required to log into the Patient Portal?

You must use Internet Explorer to log into the Patient Portal. In order to log in, you must have your User ID and Password.

How do I get a User ID and Password to the Patient Portal?

You should receive your User ID and Password within 24 hours after making your appointment. If you have not received your User ID and Password, call our clinic at (708) 482-1099 and we will help you.

What steps should I follow when logging into the Patient Portal for the first time?

1. There are Patient Portal login areas on the right side of every page throughout this website. Using Internet Explorer, enter in your User ID and Password then press the "Login" button.
2. If this is the first time you are logging in, you will be prompted to change your password and create a secret question/answer. After you change your password and secret question, keep that information in a secure location for future reference.
   ***Note: Your new password must be at least eight (8) characters long, but not longer than ten (10) characters, and contain at least one number and one letter.
3. Once you are logged into the Patient Portal and have reached the main page, find and click on the "Patient Form" link (it will be on the left side of the screen, under the "Clinic Interaction" heading). This should launch the Patient Form window.
4. At the top of the new window is a drop-down selection box where you can choose which form to use. Choose the "HIPAA" form first.
5. After reading through the HIPAA form, click the "Yes" box at the bottom-left of the page to indicate that you agree with the form. Then click the gray box to the right of the "HIPAA Signed On date" field to choose today's date.
6. Press the "SAVE" button to save the form and then the "SUBMIT" button to send your form to our clinic.
7. From the form selection drop-down box at the top of your window, change to the "Clinic Policies" form.
8. Read the policies, click the "Yes" box, and click the gray box to the right of the "Signed on date" field to choose today's date. Finally, press the "SAVE" button to save the form and then the "SUBMIT" button to send your form to our clinic.
9. Next, from the form selection drop-down box at the top of your window, change to the "Integrative Family Health Associates" form.
10. Complete as much information as you can. Once your answers are complete, press the "SAVE" button and then the "SUBMIT" button to upload your information to our clinic.
