FAQs – Patient Portal
Why activate your patient portal account?
A patient portal offers several benefits. You can bypass your practice’s call center to manage appointments, request prescriptions, or directly communicate to your healthcare team. You can also view your health records, access visit summaries and other documentation.
What kind of records will I have access to through the patient portal?
You’ll have access to lab and test results, visit summaries, visit attachments, immunization records, medications, appointment history, practice bills, and any other information your care team has made available for you to view.
What can I do with my health records?
You can easily review, download, or share your health records with other providers.
How do I enroll in the patient portal?
Do it in 3 easy steps:
- Provide a valid email address to your practice. You’ll receive an invitation to enroll.
- Create a username and password, then follow onscreen prompts to activate your account.
- Use your username and password to securely stay in touch with doctors and access your health information anytime, anywhere.
How do I access my portal once I have created my account?
Once you have enrolled, you can access the patient portal from your practice’s website. The portal is also accessible from your practice’s email notifications.
Can I share access with a trusted representative?
You can invite trusted representatives to access your patient portal in your “Profile.” If they do not have a patient portal account, they will be prompted to create one. From there, they can toggle between their own account and any accounts that have been shared with them.
How can I access a patient portal for my child/underaged minor?
EJFHC will send a parent/guardian invitation to view and manage your child’s account.
Will I still be able to add my child (ages 12 to 17) to my patient portal account?
No, beginning at the age of 12, patients have certain rights under Michigan law and, in order to exercise those rights, EJFHC will now provide these patients with their own patient portal account. Adolescents should either talk to their provider or staff to enroll in the patient portal.
Can my child (ages 12 to 17) use my email address to enroll patient portal?
No, the adolescent must use their own individual email address (or create one if they do not have one already).
How do I communicate with my child’s (ages 12 to 17) provider online?
Since your child is now the owner of his/her portal account, please work with your child to use their portal account to contact their provider.
Can two parents/guardians link to the same child’s account?
More than one parent can have access to their child’s information. For example, divorced parents will have their own access to view their child’s portal account.
How do I contact my care team through my patient portal?
You can easily message a member of your care team through the “Messages” tab. While in your message inbox, you can send a new message, attach images, and view your care team’s replies.
How do I complete any necessary forms?
Log in to your patient portal account and click the “Health Forms” tab to view and complete your forms.

What do I do if I forgot my username and/or password?

I can’t remember the answer to my security question to reset my password?
If you forgot your username and/or password and don’t know the answer to your security question, please reach out to your practice to reset.
What do I do if I didn’t receive an invitation to create my patient portal?
