Similar to calling the clinic, messages from MyHealth are routed to
nurses who work closely with your physician. The nurse may respond
directly or route the message to the physician. All messages sent to
the clinic become part of your medical record.
MyHealth requires that a patient have an established relationship
with a physician before a message can be sent. As such, if the
relationship is not established, or if the relationship is older than
a year, patients cannot send a message to the clinic. In these
circumstances, please call the clinic.
You will generally receive an answer within 1-2 business days. MyHealth should not be used for urgent situations. Please call your clinic if you have not received a response after 2 business days.
If this is a medical emergency, please call 911 immediately!
Some patients may have access to view the notes that their doctor writes during or after an appointment. Read our Open Notes FAQs to learn more.
Most test results are shared with you. Technical reasons limit the release of some results. Your provider will share results with you that cannot be released electronically through an alternate means.

physician who ordered the test by sending a MyHealth message or
calling your clinic.

Stanford Hospital handles all billing related to hospital and/or facility charges. Stanford Physician (Professional) Billing handles all billing related to physician charges (e.g. physicals or office visits).
As a patient, you should know and understand your insurance plan benefits and your responsibility for any deductibles, co-insurance, or co-payment amounts prior to any visit. Not all services are covered in all insurance contracts. If your insurance plan does not cover a service or procedure, you may be responsible for full payment of the bill.
To find out what your insurance plan covers and what your financial obligation may be, call the Customer Service or Member Services Department of your insurance company (the phone numbers are on your insurance card).
Make sure that your insurance company lists both your doctor and hospital as a participating provider. If you go to an out-of-network provider, you may have a greater financial responsibility for services provided. Your insurance company can assist you in finding an in-network provider to limit the amount of money you will have to pay for care.
You can verify and update your insurance in MyHealth by clicking on "Billing & Insurance" in the left navigation menu then clicking "Update My Insurance."

Your insurance provider will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) notice that details the amount it has paid, any non-covered or denied amounts and the remaining balance that you are responsible for paying. Review your EOB carefully, compare it to your Hospital and/or Physician paper statement and call your insurance provider or a Customer Service Representative right away if you have questions or concerns.
Your outstanding balances are viewable in MyHealth. Click on "Billing & Insurance" located in the left navigation menu, then click "Billing Summary." Your outstanding balance(s) will be listed on the right side of the page under "Balance Due."
In the event a customer is owed a refund due to an overpayment, once verified by customer service, that refund will be tendered to the customer by crediting the original credit card or by mailing a check. All requests are handled in a timely manner as our goal is complete customer satisfaction. For any questions concerning a refund due or about our policy, please contact one of our customer service representatives.
The most common insurance denials received on claims are:
- Your insurance carrier needs additional information from you
- You were not covered by your insurance plan on the date of service
- No authorization/referral is on file for services
- The service you received was not covered under your plan
- The insurance information recorded at the time of service was inaccurate, incomplete or outdated
Yes. However, if there aren't sufficient funds on your card to cover the transaction you're attempting, the payment will not be accepted.

Video visits are a great way to receive care from your doctor. Video visits are ideal for:
- Establishing care
- Discussing a new health issue
- Following up on a condition or health issue
- Health and wellness coaching
While video visits may not be suitable for all types of care, your provider will work with you to determine when you need to be seen in the clinic. Video visits are not appropriate for emergency situations. If you are experiencing a medical emergency call 911 right away.
You can use your laptop, desktop, or mobile phone (iOS or Android) to complete your video visit.
You will need to have:
- Flash version 11 or higher installed
- Webcam
- Microphone
- Internet connection 1.0mbps or greater (Cable Modem or faster)

Before your scheduled appointment, download the Stanford Health Care MyHealth app from the iTunes store. Once you log in to the app you will be able to access your video visit from Appointments. Please make sure you have the most up to date version of the app.
Learn how to join your appointment from your iPhone with our iPhone Video Visit Guide.

At the time you schedule your video visit, you will be asked to provide a back-up telephone number where your doctor or wellness coach can reach you in case there are any issues with the video connection. If there are technical issues during your video visit, we will call you to continue your visit by phone.
While any place with a fast internet connection will work, we recommend that you have your video visit in a place that is private enough for you to comfortably discuss your health questions with your doctor.
