Before your appointment ...

  • To access your questionnaire(s): log in to myCornellHealth and click "Appointments." 
  • If questionnaires are not completed before your visit, you may be asked to reschedule.
  • If a questionnaire you receive does not seem to match your health concern, call us during business hours (607-255-5155) to discuss

CAPS appointments: You will have a separate brief Wellbeing Assessment survey to complete 10 minutes before your appointment. Please see instructions for your appointment type, below. 

(2) Upload your insurance information (non SHP members only)

If you have not done so already, please upload a photo of your health insurance card in myCornellHealth:

  1. If you have your insurance card, take a picture of BOTH SIDES of your card on your cell phone. (If you don't have your card, contact the cardholder and ask them to take a picture of BOTH SIDES of the card and send it to your phone.)
  2. Log in to myCornellHealth and click on “Insurance Cards,” found on the homepage and in the menu.
