Secure messaging is a new feature that lets you communicate with your care team, the Gillette scheduling team, or our billing team through a secure message center. Messaging works just like email but keeps your private healthcare information safe. You can use messaging to ask questions about your care and upcoming appointments or about bills and insurance. You’ll be notified when you have new secure messages according to the notification settings you choose within the portal.

Messaging your care team is easy. Log in to your patient portal account and go to the messages section. Choose “Inbox” and then “Send a Message” at the top of the page. When the new message window opens, you’ll select the group that can answer your question (scheduling team, clinical team, etc.). From there, you can pick a subject from a dropdown list that most accurately describes your message. Be sure to include the provider’s name in the first sentence of your message so we can direct your message to the appropriate provider team.

Use secure messaging to:  
1. Ask your care team simple, non-urgent questions. 

2. Send attachments like documents, forms, pictures, or short videos to your care team. 

Most messages will be returned within 2 business days. If you have an urgent medical question, please call Telehealth. Please note that complex questions may require scheduling an appointment. 

We asked Gillette providers what tips they’d give to patients who want to use Secure Messaging: 
1. Keep messages short. 
Secure messaging works best for simple questions. Can you explain your question in 100 words or less? If not, scheduling an appointment or calling Telehealth might be your best option.  

2. Include your provider’s name. 
Remember to include the name of your Gillette provider in the first sentence of your message. When you include your provider’s name, we can direct your message to the appropriate care team much faster. 
 
3. A message is not an appointment. 
Your Gillette provider wants to give you the appropriate care. If your secure message needs your provider’s medical judgment, it’s best to schedule an in-person or virtual appointment. Submit your appointment needs using the “Scheduling Question” option or the request an appointment feature on MyGillette.   
 
4. Be patient.  
Keep in mind messages are monitored Monday – Friday from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. To make sure our providers can enjoy time away from work and with their families, be patient when waiting for a response to your message. Use Telehealth or Urgent Care for immediate medical questions and needs. 

When you schedule an appointment online through your MyGillette portal account, our scheduling team will review the appointment to make sure it meets the requests of your clinical team. We’ll also ensure any coordinated needs, such as imaging, are added. If adjustments are needed, our scheduling team will contact you. You will receive an appointment confirmation and all standard appointment reminders for visits scheduled online. 

Online scheduling is not available for all appointments. If you’re not able to find the appointment you need or have urgent scheduling needs, please call us at 651-290-8707.
