Step-by-Step guide to scheduling an appointment within the U.S.

These guide will step you through the process of registering as a patient and scheduling your appointment with a Love.Life Telehealth doctor. It's not a complicated process, but these instructions are meant to take out all of the guesswork by listing exactly what to do at every step along the way.

Step 1 – Requesting Access to the Patient Portal
Requesting access to the patient portal is easy, just complete the form on the front page of our web site (here) or at https://love.life/telehealth/patient-portal/.

In order to register as a patient we need your first and last name, email address, phone number, date of birth and the state you live in (or Outside of USA). Once we receive your request, you will be sent an invitation to complete your patient registration within 24 hours.

Step 2 – Activating your Patient Portal Account
Activating your Patient Portal account is simple. You will receive an email from Love.Life Telehealth <noreply@charmtracker.com> with the subject Patient Portal Registration. It contains the full instructions, including a help video, but all you really have to do is click the link in that email, and follow the on screen instructions to create a new password for your account.</noreply@charmtracker.com>

If you already have a ChARM account, because another practice you visit uses the same system, you have to make sure to fully logout of ChARM first, and then go back to the invitation to click the link again to start the process of adding Plant Based Telehealth to your existing ChARM account. You will not need to create a second account, rather when you login you will choose which practice you want to login to.

Step 3 – Requesting an Appointment
There are two ways to request an appointment, and both are easy, so please choose whichever is more convenient for you. Note: Please always make sure you are scheduling an appointment with a doctor who is licensed to treat you in the state you will be in at the time of your appointment.

From the Meet The Doctors page on our web site:

  1. Visit the meet the doctors web page at https://love.life/telehealth/find-your-doctor/
  2. Click the doctors picture that you would like to make an appointment with to scroll to their bio.
  3. Click the “SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT” button
  4. Verify the doctor is licensed to treat you in your state
  5. Select an appointment type (new patient or follow-up, and 30 or 60 minutes)
  6. Use the calendar to select an open time that fits your schedule
  7. Complete the form
  8. Enter your payment information (or select card on file)

From the Patient Portal

Step 4 – Complete your assigned questionnaires
Your doctor will assign questionnaires to you based on the type of visit (new patient or follow-up), and your specific needs (food diary, and others). Please complete these questionnaires 24 hours before your appointment, to give your doctor time to review them ahead of time. Doing so will enable you to have an efficient and productive appointment with your doctor.

  2. Click the Questionnaire icon
  3. Click the questionnaire name (Informed Consent, New Patient Intake, 3-Day Food Diary, etc.)

  1. Login to the ChARM patient portal here
  2. Click the Appointments icon (looks like a calendar and watch)
  3. Click CHECK-IN, next to your scheduled appointment date and time

Step 6 – Uploading Lab Results and Documents

  3. Click Upload, and browse to find your file, or multiple files

You can also hover your mouse over a document to share it after it has been uploaded, or to download it back to your own computer, or to delete it.
