How to send a message to a patient on HelloHealth

Step 3 

To send a new message to a patient, click ‘Compose’.

Step 4 

The message box will appear and then from here, you should select the patient you want to send a message to by searching for them by using their First Name, Last Name, or both. Patients who already have access to HelloHealth will have a badge like this: Invite your patients to join HelloHealth next to their name. These patients can sign in to their app and reply to the message.

Note: Patients who don’t have the HH badge next to their name, will be prompted to create an account before they can see and reply to the message. Learn how to invite patients to join HelloHealth.

Step 5

After selecting the patient you want to send a message to, you can select a template to insert into your message and then enter the message subject. If you have any forms on your forms list in HelloHealth, you can attach them to the message by selecting them when you click ‘Forms’ just under the subject line.

Note: Filling in the subject line is required for sending a message.

Step 6 

If you didn’t choose a template for your message, type the message for the patient and you can attach any additional material directly from your device. Once done, click ‘Send’ & your message will be sent.

Other message features

If you choose not to send a message immediately after typing it, you have other options such as saving the message to your drafts to return to it later, or you can discard it.

Note: You cannot retrieve discarded messages.
