Choose the Right Location, Service, Phone Number, Hours or Urgent Care Route

Appointment Steps: Online Scheduling, Existing Patients and What to Bring
SCHC’s appointment page says online scheduling is for existing patients and medical visits only. The information entered must match the medical chart, including full legal name, date of birth and phone number.
Decide whether online scheduling fits
Online scheduling is for existing patients and certain medical visits, such as an office visit with your primary care clinician or women’s health annual exam. Other appointment types should be scheduled through your regular location.
Use exact chart information
Use your full legal name, date of birth and phone number as they appear in SCHC’s records. If the information does not match, the system may not find you.
Keep a cell phone number on file
SCHC says appointment reminders and confirmation texts depend on a cell phone number. If you use a landline, the status may show pending even though the appointment is scheduled.
Ask what to bring
Bring photo ID, insurance ID card, co-payment, medication list, allergies, prior records, and any form or portal task the clinic requested.
Cancel early if needed
SCHC’s patient responsibilities say patients should keep appointments as scheduled or notify SCHC if cancelling at least two hours before the appointment time and date.

Common Mistakes That Cause Failed Visits
Going to the main campus for every service
Urgent care, dental, vision, maternity, pediatrics and HOPE may use different locations or phone numbers.
Arriving after urgent care cutoff
Urgent care check-in ends before closing. Use the cutoff time, not only the posted closing time.
Using urgent care for emergency symptoms
SCHC directs severe symptoms to 911 or the nearest emergency room.
Forgetting insurance assignment
If your plan requires an assigned primary clinician, make sure SCHC is assigned before your visit.
Assuming sliding fee is only for uninsured patients
SCHC says insured patients can also apply if they qualify, and it may reduce balances insurance does not cover.
Trying to request refills through the portal
SCHC says medication refills cannot be requested through Shasta Health Connect at this time.
Phone Scripts for Faster Help
