Disable Multiple Patient Notifications

Overview

For legacy OP Patient Portal users who utilize PMX for messages to inform parents/patients of an action on the portal, it is important to disable these messages when moving to the new InteliChart portal. By disallowing portal messages, parents/patients will no longer receive a message containing a link to the legacy portal. Disallowing portal messages will also prevent your parents/patients from receiving duplicate messages if you have notifications set up through the new InteliChart portal.

Practices with a Patient Portal who are utilizing a product for appointment reminders/confirmations (ex: PMX), may be generating multiple notifications to parents/patients. At a practice level, you can choose to turn off the portal notifications or you can direct parents/patients to manage their notification settings on the portal.
