Patient Portal

Your provider’s office will start the process of enrolling you in the patient portal. You will receive the Patient Portal Activation letter in person at the office or have it emailed to you. If you do not have your activation letter, please contact your provider’s office for assistance or contact our Patient Portal Support Line at 716-422-5801.

 

The portal displays lab results, vital signs (e.g. blood pressure), allergies, your medications, medical problems, any upcoming and previous General Physician PC appointments, and educational resources.

An electronic visit (eVisit) is a secure online consultation with your primary care physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner initiated through the patient portal. It is meant to address common non-urgent health issues that can be diagnosed and treated after hours or on weekends. Only those 18 years of age or older and have been seen by their provider within the last 12 months are eligible for this service. The cost for an eVisit is $25, payable by credit card, HSA, or FSA at the time the eVisit is scheduled through the portal. Check with your health insurance plan as the cost may be reimbursable.

Please Note: Some providers may not offer eVisits.

Radiology, Pathology, and Lab results are available.

Some lab results (e.g., HIV preliminary test, genetic testing) will not display due to their sensitive nature.
