Follow-up Appointments
Some visits need a provider’s order before you can schedule online. When your care team places this order, it appears in MyChart and lets you book your follow-up at the right time. If you don’t see an option to schedule yet, it may mean your provider hasn’t placed the follow-up order. Once it’s ready, MyChart will show you next steps.
What Is MyChart? Learn how to get started.
