Schedule Follow-Up or Return Visits in Patient Portal

Once you have already seen a provider, you can schedule a return visit with that provider. This feature is useful when scheduling follow-up visits.

Note:

Depending on the visit type and provider, this workflow might vary.
  • If you use Ask Oracle, your workflow may vary depending on what you are looking for and the information needed. For example, "Schedule an appointment" would have a different workflow from "Schedule an appointment with Dr. Smith on Monday at 2 p.m."
  • Call the provider's office if you are unable to schedule online.
To schedule a return visit with a provider you have already seen:
  1. If you manage multiple connected health profiles, optionally switch to a different health profile.
  2. From the navigation menu, select Visits.
  3. Select Schedule Appointment (or similarly named button), typically displayed in the upper-right corner.
  4. In the Care Team section, select the name of the provider you want to schedule another visit with.
  5. Enter a reason for the visit.
  6. Select a type of visit.
  7. Select Search Appointments to display a calendar.
  8. Select a date, and then select one of the time slots available for that date.
  9. Select Schedule New Appointment.
    A confirmation page is displayed with the details of the visit.
  10. Optionally, select Add to Calendar Add to Calendar to add the visit to your personal calendar.
