Take your health information with you on-the-go. FollowMyHealth is used by healthcare organizations across the country as the power behind their hospital or clinic’s specific patient portal.

If you don't have health insurance or you plan to pay for health care bills yourself, generally, health care providers and facilities must give you an estimate of expected charges when you schedule an appointment for a health care item or service, or if you ask for an estimate. This is called a "good faith estimate."
