Managing Appointments and Scheduling

The portal appointment module shows real-time availability across specialties and locations.

Cancellation or rescheduling follows a straightforward process with defined notice periods to avoid fees. Integrated calendar sync options help align clinical visits with personal schedules.
Accessing Test Results and Health Records
Viewing labs, imaging, and summaries
Results are released as soon as they are finalized and reviewed by the care team, with most labs available within days. Detailed reports include reference ranges, trend graphs, and clinician annotations where appropriate. Patients can download or share records securely, supporting continuity of care with specialists or external providers. Clear labeling and date filters make it easy to track changes over time.

FAQ
Reader questions
How do I reset my Mount Sinai Portal password if I forgot it?
Use the Forgot Password link on the login page, enter your registered email or username, and follow the prompts to verify your identity. You will receive a temporary password or a reset link, depending on your account settings, which will allow you to create a new credential.
What should I do if my test results are not showing up in the portal?
First, check the date range and refresh the results page, as some reports may take additional time to finalize. If the results are still missing after a few days, contact your care team or the portal support line so they can verify that the reports have been released electronically.
Can I message my doctor directly through the Mount Sinai Portal?
Yes, you can send secure messages through the portal inbox to many members of your care team for non-urgent questions. For medical emergencies or highly sensitive issues, you should still call emergency services or speak with a clinician by phone rather than relying on the messaging feature.
Is my health information safe when using the Mount Sinai Portal on my phone?
The portal uses encryption, secure sessions, and two-factor authentication to protect your data on mobile devices. You should also keep your operating system and apps updated, use a strong device password or biometric lock, and avoid accessing the portal on public or shared devices.
