Message Your Provider Through Chat

Your Client Portal makes it easy for you to securely communicate with your provider through the web platform and the mobile app. These can both be used to provide updates about appointments such as cancellation or reschedule requests, ask questions about a care regimen, and provide general health updates to your provider.

Chat: FAQs

I do not see the ability to Chat with my Provider, what can I do? 

If you do not see a "Chat" tab on your web platform or mobile device, it means that your provider has disabled chat from your work with them. We recommend connecting with them in a different way to coordinate about your communication options. 

I accidentally archived my Chat with my provider, and now I cannot initiate a Chat. What should I do?

To unarchive a chat, set your "Visibility" filter to "All" to view both Archived and Active conversations. Select the archived conversation, and click the "Unarchive" button to bring the conversation back to your Active conversations. 

How can I consolidate windows shown on my screen, in order to view more of the Chat screen?

You can collapse the left-hand navigation bar by clicking the small triangle at the top of the navigation bar. This will increase the width of the chat conversation on your Computer. 

Can I message my provider through the Help Scout widget at the bottom right corner of my screen?

No, you can't message them through the Helpscout widget. You will have to click on Chat on the left navigation sidebar menu. When clicking on the Helpscout bubble/widget, the "Chat/Ask" tab will no longer be visible; this way you can better differentiate between reaching out to Healthie Technical Support versus reaching out to your provider. The Helpscout bubble/widget is also now specifically labeled with a magnifying glass and "Support."

• You can directly message Healthie Support by clicking on the "?" link at the top right of your Healthie account, and clicking on the "Support" widget.
• We have changed the copy of "How can we help?" to "Technical Support," and "Our team will be in touch soon" to "Reach out below for technical issues only. For non-technical issues please contact your Provider via the Chat tab in the left-hand navigation menu."

Can't Reach Your Provider?

It is possible that your provider is not currently using Chat as a form of communication with patients. In the event that you cannot access your account, or locate Chat, please reach out to your provider through another means they have provided (ie. office email or phone number).
