  • RE: Electronic Patient Communication

    The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) created several guidelines for doctors to follow to encourage Electronic Patient Communication. A new requirement is the creation of a patient portal for doctor’s offices to communicate safely and securely following Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) guidelines.

    Our office has an advanced Electronic Health Record (EHR) system that provides a patient portal called Patient Ally.

    Please provide your email below so that we can enroll you in Patient Ally and assign you a temporary password. The temporary password is “DrLin123!”. Please be sure to log in and change your temporary password at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you for assisting us in fulfilling this important MACRA requirement.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Lin
