RESOURCES

At Cornerstone Primary Healthcare, we are committed to providing you with the educational resources and information you need to better understand your health and diagnoses. We take the time necessary to make sure your questions are answered and you understand the treatment plan that was discussed during your visit.

“According to the American Medical Association an average physician visit today lasts about 7 minutes.” However, the average appointment with a nurse practitioner (NP) is 15-30 minutes. While nurse practitioners perform the same clinical tasks doctors do, NPs practice a different philosophy of seeing themselves as partners in the patient’s healthcare."

PATIENT PORTAL FAQs

What is Patient Portal?

Patient Portal allows you to view lab results, notes from providers and any other documents you have requested from your provider. Results can also be printed.

Can I send messages back to my provider?

Providers can send messages to patients but responses are NOT allowed. If you would like to get a message to your provider, please click the link below and go to FORMS. Messages will be forwarded to your provider.

What documents are available to me?

Generally, all labs are uploaded to the portal. You may request that other documents be uploaded for your review such as work/school excuses, Health Screening forms, imaging results or a variety of other documents. We do ask that if you need items printed, that you print these from the portal.

How do I access the portal?

Each patient has a unique log in. It is not always your email address. If you can not access your portal, or you have forgotten either your user name or password, please call Cornerstone Primary Healthcare and we can reinvite you. You will receive an email with your new user name and be asked to select a password. Patients may also request a portal re-invite by completing the request form located under FORMS from the Patient Portal Link

Can I request a refill of my medication on the Portal?

Yes, as long as the medication is something already prescribed to you. Please fill out the request form under FORMS. We are unable to fill requests for ANTIBIOTICS without an appointment. You may be contacted for an appointment once your refill request has been reviewed by a provider.

Can I check Account Information on my portal?

Please have it read as follows: Statements will not be sent to portal automatically. Patients may request that past statements be sent to the portal. If you would like to pay your balance on line, please complete the PAYMENT form located under FORMS on the Patient Portal Link
