FOR PATIENTS · IN-APP MESSAGING

    Talk to your doctor without a waiting room.

    Secure, private conversations with the providers treating you — ask a follow-up question, request a refill, or get test results explained, without booking a full visit.

    CAPABILITIES

    What you can do with In-App Messaging.

    Direct provider threads

    Every doctor you've had an appointment with gets a dedicated, persistent conversation thread.

    Share photos & documents

    Send a photo of a symptom or a document from another provider directly within the conversation.

    Request refills in-chat

    Ask for a prescription refill directly in the thread — it links straight to your Prescriptions record for the doctor to action.

    Read receipts & typing status

    Know when your doctor has seen your message, so you're not left wondering if it got through.

    Kept as part of your record

    Conversations are retained alongside your medical record, accessible later if relevant to your care.

    HOW IT WORKS

    From start to finish.

    1

    Start from an appointment

    A conversation thread opens automatically with any doctor you've booked an appointment with.

    2

    Send your message

    Ask a question, describe a symptom, or attach a photo — just like any modern chat app.

    3

    Get a response from your provider

    Your doctor replies when available, factoring your message into any ongoing or future care.

    4

    Keep the thread for later

    The full conversation stays in your history, useful context for follow-up visits.

    GOOD TO KNOW

    Messaging is end-to-end encrypted and only visible to you and the specific provider in the thread.

    In-app messaging isn't monitored for emergencies — for anything urgent, book an appointment or seek in-person care immediately.

    Frequently asked questions.

    No — only providers you've had an appointment with, or who you've explicitly approved through Access Control, can start a thread with you.
