About The Patient Portal

What is the Patient Portal?

 

The Central Peninsula Internal Medicine Patient Portal is a secure online website that gives patients convenient 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection. Using a secure username and password, patients can view and manage their health information, communicate with CPIM staff, and make payments.

 

Why do we encourage CPIM patients to use the Patient Portal? Because the Portal enhances patient-provider communication, empowers patients, and supports care between visits. Put simply, the Portal facilitates patient engagement and strengthens the links between the patient and the provider at Central Peninsula Internal Medicine.

Why can't I view my entire medical records in my patient portal?

The Portal does not allow all portions of your medical records to be visible. Tests, vaccines, etc. that were done prior to initiation of CPIM’s Patient Portal will not be visible. Additionally, there are certain types of medical information that will never appear in Patient Portal.

 

If you want a complete copy of your medical record, contact CPIM directly by telephone or in person. Never assume that your Patient Portal record is your complete medical record or contains your complete insurance information.

What if I forget my username and/or password?

If you can’t log in to your Patient Portal account because you’ve lost your user ID or password, navigate to the Patient Portal Log In page by clicking one of the Patient Portal Log In buttons on the CPIM website.

 

Under the text fields where you would normally type your User ID and Password, notice the small, blue links titled Forgot Your User ID? and Forgot Your Password? Click on the link that applies to you, and follow the prompts to recover your log in information.
