It’s important to note that when you add your medical history from Medicare, it will pull up whatever information that Medicare has on your health.
Since it’s pulling in the information directly from Medicare, there may be a lot or a little bit of information depending on what Medicare has in your records. Please note that there is always more being added, so you can always go back to the DrOwl patient portal to see what’s new. When your medical records are updated by Medicare, they are automatically updated in DrOwl.
If your records are incomplete or incorrect, please reach out to your health care provider directly to resolve those issues.
If you don’t have an electronic CMS (Medicare) account, click on the blue “create an account now” link at the top of the “CMS.gov” log-in page to create one. Please see the FAQ in the US-App section titled, “How do I add my medical history to DrOwl?” for instructions on how to create a Medicare account.
