Patient Portal Information
George Mason Student Health Services uses a secure, online patient portal. Currently, students can view and enter immunization records, upload documents, enter insurance information, read education documents you have received from Student Health, and get secure messages from your provider. Other features will be made available as we continue with implementation. If you have difficulty using the Patient Portal, please use the electronic form below to report it to Student Health Services.
How to access the patient portal
Visit: https://gmu.medicatconnect.com. Or, select “Patient Portal” in our navigation menu.
You will be directed to the log in page sso.medicatconnect.com. You will need your George Mason University Net ID (user ID) and patriot password to log in. Select “George Mason University” as your school.
Complete forms for my appointment
After you log-in, select “Forms.” Complete any required forms. If indicated, fill out the appropriate Consent Forms. Required Forms include the Medical and Family History, Notice of Privacy Policy, Notices to Patients Regarding Treatment, and Texting Opt-in/Opt-out.
Check-in for my appointment
Log-in to the patient portal 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Follow instructions in the portal to check-in for your Upcoming Appointment. You cannot check-in earlier. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, you will not be able to check-in. Call 703-993-2831 if you are late or experience difficulty with the process. Patients must check in for telehealth and in-person appointments.
Receiving secure messages
You will receive an email to your Mason email informing you that you have a message in the portal. The message will state that you must log into the portal to access the message. The email message will be from: NoReply[at]medicat.com. You may need to check your junk/spam mail folder. If you have any questions about the email, please call Student Health (703-993-2831).
Sign up for text message reminders
You can sign up (opt-in) to get text message reminders for your next appointment in the Patient Portal. Follow the instructions – How To Sign Up for Text Messages. You can also opt-out, or choose to stop getting these reminders in the Portal, read the How to Sign Up instructions.
How to upload documents in the patient portal
Step 1: Scan and save your documents individually to your computer or take a picture. This is completed outside of the patient portal using your scanner software or smart phone. If you are uploading multiple documents, you will need to scan/take a picture and save each document as a separate file.
- Images must be .png, .tiff, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif. Documents must be .txt or .pdf.
- Files must be smaller than 4 MB. Scan in black and white, or at a setting of 150 DPI to get a smaller file.
- Do not include any special characters in the file name.
Step 2: Select “Upload”. Choose the document you are uploading in the “Choose document you are uploading” drop down menu.
Step 3: Click on “Select File,” and locate the file on your computer or smart phone.
Step 4: Click on the Upload button. The document will be listed below, as a confirmation that the document was added to the queue. If you made a mistake you may delete the file by clicking on the “X” at the end of the document name which is listed next to the Change box.
All the documents you have chosen to upload will appear below the Documents already on file section as a confirmation they were successfully uploaded.
