FAQs

Q: I do not see a patient in the portal—what should I do?

  • First, confirm that you’ve already faxed or uploaded the patient’s demographic sheet.

  • If you have, try refreshing the page or searching again.

  • If the patient still doesn’t appear in View Demographics, re‐fax or re‐upload the demographic sheet and contact MedFlow Support for further assistance.- Seeing the patient record in View Demographics confirms that MedFlow IO has successfully received and processed the uploaded demographic file.

Q: How long after I email missing data will the patient appear on the schedule?Q: How does MedFlow IO process uploaded patient demographics?

  • After receiving uploaded demographics, MedFlow IO confirms receipt by displaying the patient in the View Demographics section.

  • The information is then processed, and patients are added to the schedule.

  • If appointments are not visible immediately, it indicates that processing is still ongoing.

  • Usually within 1–2 business days—often sooner.- Users can expect prompt communication confirming that the file has been received and that processing is underway.

  • Although scheduling is typically quick, some delays may occur depending on the data volume being processed.

Q: Can I edit the demographic record myself?
