Geode automatically sends the Doxy telehealth link to patients via email at the time of booking the appointment, and via email and text 15 minutes prior to the appointment start time. However, you can always resend the link to the patient manually, if needed, by following these steps.

Note: for practice assistants who have access to multiple provider rooms, make sure the correct provider link is listed before selecting the Invite Via button.
2. Select Text message to send the Doxy link via phone, and Email to send it via email.
3. For Text Message option, enter the
patient’s phone number in the Patient phone number field. For email, enter
their email address.
4. Click Send Message. At the time of the scheduled appointment, the patient will need to click the shared URL from their device, type in their own name, and join the waiting room.
Doxy only supports Picture in Picture mode while using
Chrome. Picture in Picture allows you to lock the patient's video to the front
of their screen while you use another browser window or program (e.g. Athena to
document the visit).

Tip to improve quality: discourage multi-tasking. Audio and video quality can suffer if the patient decides to start using other apps/browser windows while on their phone during a call. Ensure patients are focused only on the call.
