Patients/clients: How to update your notification settings

You have the ability to configure VirtualCare to send you email notifications for any updates your provider might make to your virtual visit appointments. You can also set if you’d like to be reminded to reply to a visit request 12 hours every 12 hours until it has been accepted or declined.

1. In the top right-hand corner, click your name > Account Settings.

2. Click the Notifications tab.

3. Beside Email Notifications, click Change.

4. A list of email notifications available in VirtualCare will display.

Note: By default, notifications will be turned ON.

The following notifications are available to be set:

• • In Review: Being reviewed by provider

  • Declined: Virtual Visit request was deemed ineligible
