Frequently Asked Questions

Patient FAQs

Pre-Op

Why did my healthcare provider ask me to complete a Medical Passport?

Your healthcare provider uses Medical Passport to ensure you have a safe and successful procedure. By completing your health history online at your convenience, you help your care team identify any important health considerations ahead of time, reducing the risk of last-minute complications or cancellations.


Why am I receiving messages from One Mnet Health?

Your healthcare facility uses Engage to send you important information about your upcoming procedure. These messages include pre-operative instructions, appointment reminders, educational videos, and post-operative care information to help ensure you are prepared for your procedure, and that you get the best possible outcome.


Can I opt out of these healthcare messages?

While you can opt out of automated messages, we strongly recommend staying enrolled to receive critical information about your care. These messages contain important pre-operative instructions, appointment details, and post-operative care guidelines.

If you wish to opt out, reply STOP to any text message or contact your healthcare facility directly.

Note that opting out may require your facility to contact you by phone instead, which could delay important communications.


How do I login to my patient portal?

You can access your Medical Passport by visiting the link provided in your appointment confirmation email or text message. If this is your first time using Medical Passport, you’ll need to create an account with a username and password, then follow the step-by-step process to complete your health history. If you’re a returning patient who has previously used Medical Passport, simply sign in using your existing username and password.


Why does Medical Passport collect such detailed information?

Depending on your upcoming procedure and your individual health history, Medical Passport may ask additional follow-up questions. This ensures your care team has comprehensive information to plan for a safe procedure and provide you with the best possible care and outcomes.


Why does Medical Passport ask about my gender identity, sexual orientation, or pronouns?

This information helps your care team provide personalized, respectful care that meets your individual needs. These questions align with healthcare equity standards and ensure your healthcare provider can communicate with you appropriately and deliver safe, inclusive care.


I need to change something about my procedure. Who can I contact?

For any changes to your procedure, including date, time, or cancellation, please contact your healthcare provider’s office directly. Medical Passport does not manage scheduling or appointment changes.


Day of Surgery

How can I check-in to my procedure?

If the facility you go to uses our real-time patient tracking board, Big Board, you can check in remotely before you arrive on your phone, or use an on-site kiosk when you g et to the surgery center. At the kiosk, enter your last name and date of birth to begin the check-in process. Some facilities may require you to read and acknowledge their policies and disclosures during check-in. Once you’ve completed check-in, Big Board automatically updates your status across the facility’s tracking system, letting the appropriate staff know you’ve arrived and are ready for your procedure.


How will my ride know when to pick me up after my procedure?

If the facility you go to uses our real-time patient tracking board, Big Board, it will automatically send real-time text message updates to your designated ride-home contact throughout your procedure. These automated messages keep them informed of your progress and let them know when it’s time to come pick you up, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a smooth discharge process. 


Post-Op

What payment options do I have if I can't afford to pay my balance in full right now?

We understand that medical bills can be unexpected, and we’re here to help you find a solution that works for your financial situation. You have several options:

  • Flexible Payment Plans: We offer customizable payment plans based on your balance amount and what you can afford monthly, with 100% acceptance
  • Multiple Payment Methods: Pay by phone, text, email, through our secure online portal, or by mail—whichever is most convenient for you
  • Extended Support Hours: Our team is available 8am-8pm CST, Monday through Friday, plus weekends, so you can reach us when it works for your schedule
  • Additional Payment Resources: We can help you explore options like HSA (Health Savings Account), FSA (Flexible Spending Account), or CareCredit if applicable

Our goal is to work with you, not against you, to resolve your balance in a way that meets your needs.


Can I edit a survey response I submitted?

No. Once you submit a survey or questionnaire, your responses are final and cannot be changed. If you need to update important health information, please contact your healthcare facility directly.

Provider & Facility FAQs

Medical Passport

What are the key benefits of using Medical Passport?

Medical Passport streamlines your pre-admission workflow by capturing comprehensive patient health histories online, automatically flagging high-risk patients, and reducing time spent on phone assessments. The platform generates tailored patient charts, including med rec, anesthesia assessments, nursing assessments, fall risk evaluations, and more, all populated with patient information in a clinical-friendly format that supports confident decision-making and reduces last-minute cancellations.


Our nurses usually obtain patient histories with a quick phone call. Why would we need this?

Medical Passport allows patients to enter their medical information at their convenience and is a convenient alternative to pre-op phone calls or in-person assessments. The result is a modern, more user-friendly pre-admissions process that improves patient satisfaction, decreases costs, and improves the quality of care

    • Reduce nursing time spent on pre-op calls gathering health assessments
    • Flag high-risk patients with custom assessments
    • Reduce procedure day surprises and cancellations
    • Improve information accuracy

How can we be certain we're getting the full history from the patient if we're not talking to them? How thorough is a Medical Passport questionnaire?

Because a Medical Passport can be completed at a time and place convenient for the patient, we typically see a more thorough accounting of the patient’s history.

Medical Passport includes a vast library of questions, including high-risk alerts, auto-scored risk assessments, and history-driven questions that automatically dig deeper when a patient answers positively to a question. The assessment is designed to get the appropriate information in an efficient way.

You may simply provide your current pre-operative questionnaire, and your new online questionnaire will be configured to match. If you don’t know where to start, we also offer best practices and standard templates from other successful customers who have been using the system for years.


We have an older population of patients. Would this technology work for us?

One Mnet Health solutions were designed to be easy-to-use. We provide user support for those who do need extra help. Out of more than 13 million Medical Passports created by patients, about 1 in 3 of those patients were 65 years and older. If someone is not computer savvy, many times a caregiver or family member will help them to create a Medical Passport. Plus, there is a built-in nursing portal to quickly create a Medical Passport for a patient that has not, allowing you to manage 100% of your patient volume with Medical Passport.

Also, we can really help to broaden the circle of care and allow that same person to receive the important instructions like appointment reminders, pre-op instructions, what not to do, as well as post-op care instructions on behalf of the patient.


Is Medical Passport used by ASCs and hospitals?

Yes. Medical Passport is used by facilities of all sizes across the country. We work with small independent ASCs, multi-specialty surgery centers, and large surgical hospitals with high procedure volumes. Our platform scales to meet the needs of any facility focused on improving pre-procedure preparation and reducing cancellations.


Does Medical Passport integrate with EMR/EHRs?

Yes. Medical Passport integrates with most major EMR/EHR systems. Once a patient completes their health history online, their information automatically matches with their record in your EMR/EHR. With one click, all compatible patient data is mapped directly into your system.


Does Medical Passport offer centralized documentation?

Yes, Medical Passport provides a centralized provider portal where you can view, manage, and document all patient health histories and pre-operative teachings in one location. This ensures consistency in patient assessment and documentation across your entire team.


Can I customize questionnaires for different procedure types?

Yes, Medical Passport allows you to show patients different healthcare questionnaires based on their specific procedure type, ensuring you capture the most relevant clinical information for each case.


Can patients reuse their Medical Passport for multiple procedures?

Yes. Patients can use their Medical Passport profile for multiple procedures, whether at your facility or at other locations that use the platform. This is particularly valuable for patients having bilateral procedures (like eye procedures) or follow-up surgeries. The patient portal is easy to navigate, and patients only see questions relevant to their upcoming procedure and your facility’s specific requirements, so the experience remains streamlined.


Can Medical Passport automatically compare patient health history with our admission guidelines?

Yes, with the Admission Guidelines feature, Medical Passport automatically cross-references patient health data against your facility-specific admission criteria. This identifies patients who may require additional clearances, lab work, imaging, or anesthesia consultations before their procedure, helping you prevent day-of-surgery cancellations.


How long does this take to implement? Will there be a large learning curve for our staff? Will we have someone who will help us get set up?

We make it easy to get set up and you can be up and running as quickly as you’d like. You will have an experienced Project Manager who will guide you and your staff through set up and training. The Project Manager will work at your pace and be your key contact and source of support as you make the transition to using our solutions. Along the way, they will share best practices on how other centers are successfully using the solutions. Once you are up and running, you will then work with a Customer Success Manager. Their focus is to ensure our solutions are a success at your center and provide ongoing support throughout the lifetime of our relationship. Plus, we have a Knowledge Base filled with easy-to-follow videos and tips.


If a patient needs help with Medical Passport, who do they contact?

We support your patients! We have specialized support teams that are dedicated solely to patient or clinical staff assistance from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. Our clinically focused support team is always unlimited and always included at no cost to you.


engage icon (patient engagement solutions)

Engage

What kind of content can be sent via Engage messages?

The sky is the limit with content delivered through Engage. Engage can send informational text via email and text message. It can also send an email and text, which includes a link to various other types of communication, including:

  • Surveys
  • Instructional and educational videos
  • Pre- and post-operative instructions (or any written content) embedded in a webpage, allowing the patient to review it and come back to it at any point

    The best part of this functionality is that each type of content can be customized based on a number of surgical factors (ex. physician name, surgery type, anesthesia type, medical history)


    Is Engage fully automatic?

    Engage offers both automated and manual messaging options. Clinical pathway messages (pre-op instructions, post-op surveys, appointment reminders) run automatically on scheduled timelines. One-time messages (emergency closures, schedule changes, urgent updates) can be sent manually as needed. You control which messages to automate and when to send manual communications.


    Can the patient messages be customized for our center or are there specific templates?

    Engage messages are completely customizable and can be changed at any time. Our team will work with you to understand your goals and then set up those unique messages. They will also share best practices of what other similar centers are using.


    Can specific patient groups receive tailored messages?

    Yes. Messages can be customized based on procedure type, CPT code, surgeon, medical history, medications, and risk factors. This ensures each patient receives relevant, personalized information specific to their care.


    Can I personalize medication and pre-op instructions?

    Absolutely. Engage allows you to create procedure-specific and medication-specific messaging. For example, patients on blood thinners can automatically receive tailored instructions about when to stop their medication before surgery.


    How is the information logged or tracked? Meaning, can we see what messages patients have received?

    All patient communication is logged in an easy-to-view dashboard. Our system interfaces with your scheduling system, and you can easily see all communication to patients by date of service or date of message sent.


    Can patients respond to Engage messages?

    Engage includes various types of messages to which patients can respond. For example, patients can confirm/reschedule/cancel their appointments and arrival times. Responses can be viewed and resolved in the patient communication center.


    What happens with Engage messages when a case is cancelled?

    All pending messages that are scheduled to be delivered will be omitted.


    Can I stop a message after it's been sent?

    No. Once a message is sent, it cannot be recalled. However, you can send a follow-up message with corrections or updated information if needed.


    Can I send post-op messages after the procedure is complete?

    Yes. Post-operative messages can be sent days, weeks, or even months after a procedure to check on recovery, provide ongoing care instructions, or remind patients of follow-up appointments.


    Can I send post-op follow-up questionnaires?

    Yes. Engage supports standardized questionnaires like HOOS/KOOS Jr., as well as custom post-op surveys.


    Can I send patient satisfaction surveys?

    Yes. Satisfaction surveys can be automated and scheduled at optimal times throughout the patient journey. All responses are tracked through the Communication Center dashboard for easy monitoring and prioritization.


    What reports does Engage provide for accreditation?

    Engage generates comprehensive reports including message delivery rates, patient engagement metrics, survey response rates, and completion statistics that can be filtered by date range, procedure type, or patient group. The reports page provides AJRR-ready reports and supports CMS quality measure reporting requirements, making it easy to pull the data you need for governing body meetings, accreditation reviews, and regulatory compliance.


    Patient Billing

    Patient Billing

    What is the benefit of using a multi-channel outreach?

    Multi-channel outreach increases contact rates and accelerates payments by meeting patients where they are. Our exclusive AI-supported technology identifies each patient’s preferred communication method, resulting in higher engagement, faster resolution, and improved collection rates. This approach also reduces frustration by avoiding repeated outreach through channels patients don’t prefer.


    What can patients expect to see on their estimate?

    Patients receive a clear breakdown of their estimated financial responsibility based on your scheduling data, showing what they’ll owe to your facility after insurance. The estimate is presented in easy-to-understand language and includes convenient payment options, including the ability to pay in advance or set up a personalized payment plan before their procedure.


    How do patients know what they owe and when their bill is due?

    Patients receive clear communication through their preferred channel (text, email, phone, or mail) that includes:

    • The exact balance amount they owe
    • What the charges were for
    • When payment is due
    • Available payment options

    For Pre-DOS Financial Engagement, patients receive estimates before their procedure with the amount and payment deadline. For Early-Out and Bad Debt, our live agents and automated communications clearly explain the balance, the reason for it, and payment due dates, with ongoing reminders for those on payment plans.


    How can patients pay their bill?

    One Mnet Health provides the widest variety of payment methods and options in the industry. Patients can pay through our call centers, Patient Billing Portal, MobilePay, Text-to-Pay, and simply mailing in a payment. In addition, we take all forms of electronic credit cards and eCheck payments, including ApplePay and GooglePay. We make it easy for your patients to select the method and type best suited to their needs.


    Are your call center agents knowledgeable about medical bills?

    Our Patient Support Specialists are all revenue cycle trained, experienced, and HIPAA compliant. Due to our ability to integrate into your HIS or EHR, our specialists can view detailed information on your patients and answer any complicated healthcare insurance or billing question. 95% of questions we receive by patients are answered at the very first point of contact. If a question is more complex, our specialists research the question and provide a timely answer to the patient without having to make them hold or wait on the call for it to be researched.


    What are your call center hours?

    Our Patient Support Specialists are ready to answer patient calls Monday through Sunday with weekday hours of 8am to 9pm EST and weekend hours of 9am to 4pm EST, providing time for your patients to call off work. We have less than 1 minute hold times which means your patients do not need to waste their time waiting on hold. Our outbound patient support specialists call within the client-agreed time interval and we reach over 90% of our clients’ patient bases.


    Are you integrated with my health information system?

    We seamlessly integrate with many health information systems and EHRs and also build custom reporting, file transfers, data exchanges, and full auto-posting.


    What if patients complain about being contacted?

    Our multi-channel approach respects patient preferences—we reach them through their preferred communication method (phone, text, email, or mail) at optimal times determined by our AI-supported technology. If a patient prefers not to be contacted, we can adjust their communication preferences immediately. Our empathetic, healthcare-focused agents are trained to handle concerns professionally while educating patients about their financial responsibility, which typically resolves most complaints.


    Big Board

    Does Big Board automatically track every patient no matter where they are at?

    Big Board tracks patients throughout their journey in your facility by displaying real-time status updates across all configured board views. Staff update patient status with one click, and those updates automatically appear on every relevant display throughout the facility, from pre-op to discharge.


    Does it connect to our OR schedule?

    Yes. Big Board seamlessly integrates with your existing OR scheduling system, pulling patient information directly from your schedule to populate the tracking boards. This eliminates duplicate data entry and ensures accuracy.


    Do I need IT support to broadcast this in my facility?

    Big Board is designed for easy deployment. While some initial IT coordination may be helpful for display setup and network connectivity, the system is user-friendly and doesn’t require ongoing IT support for daily operations.


    Does One Mnet Health come out to install the monitors?

    One Mnet Health provides comprehensive implementation support, but not in-person installation. Our team will work with you to ensure Big Board is properly configured and your staff is trained on the system.
    *Specific installation details vary by facility needs.


    Vendor Management

    Does the OR staff have control over the cases visible to vendors?

    The OR staff has complete authority over which cases vendors see. Torq has a rules engine to automatically pair vendors to cases. We work with OR staff to set up these pairing rules. There is also a portal that allows staff to manually pair and/or unpair vendors at any time.


    How are vendors paired to cases? Does someone at the hospital need to add them?

    Vendors are paired to cases by an automatic rules engine that requires no staff action. Our rules engine accounts for over 99% of vendor pairings. The rules are based on the products each hospital covers and surgeons that hospital works with. We will work with your hospital and OR to make these pairing accurate and reliable.


    How are vendors assigned if surgeons do not specify product requests in their notes?

    Torq can set default rules that pair vendors based on surgeon preference for particular procedures, if applicable. In such a case, the OR staff helps Torq identify and create these rules.


    Do vendors see the entire schedule?

    No, vendors only see cases involving products that they cover. We have automatic pairing rules which make these assignments, and OR staff has the option to manually add or remove reps from cases.


    What if a vendor is not on Torq?

    During the implementation process, Torq reaches out to all vendors each hospital provides in order to get them on-boarded. If a vendor is new to the hospital, there is an easy way for OR staff to contact Torq, at which point we can quickly add the new vendor to our database and provide them with their unique username and password.


    What happens if vendors don’t use the app?

    Torq has almost perfect vendor compliance seeing as the real-time updates provide so much benefit to them.


    How are vendors onboarded?

    Torq asks the OR for a list of vendors that cover the hospital as well as their companies and product segment (recon, trauma, spine, etc.). Next, we set up pairing rules to assign the appropriate cases to vendors. Torq individually emails vendors with login information and works with the OR and vendor to customize pairing rules.


    How much staff time is needed for inservicing?

    Staff users are usually up-and-running after about 30 minutes of inservicing.


    What happens if Torq or the EHR has a problem?

    We have a robust monitoring system that alerts us if either Torq or the hospital EHR is not working properly. If it continues for any sustained period of time, we reach out to the hospital to understand the situation. If the error could cause a prolonged problem for reps, we send out notifications informing reps that information on Torq is not reliable due to the outage. While Torq works on the error, vendors can still get updates manually. Once the error is fixed, we notify vendors right away.


    Office

    What is Office?

    Office is our cloud-based booking and document management solution that streamlines communication between physician offices and surgery centers. It reduces time on phone calls and faxes by allowing offices to submit procedure booking requests and upload required documents online 24/7.


    Does Office connect with an EMR/EHR?

    Office operates independently as a cloud-based platform and does not require EMR/EHR integration. Documents and booking information can be easily uploaded to Office from any system, providing a centralized hub for managing surgical procedures between physician offices and facilities.


    Does One Mnet Health provide training to physician offices?

    Yes, we provide comprehensive training to physician offices. Virtual training is available through our implementation team and online knowledge base with video tutorials and written guides accessible 24/7 through the Training tab in your portal. For additional support, our Passport Care Team is available to assist with questions and provide guidance.


    Is there a quick way for physician offices to submit a common procedure booking request?

    Yes! Office includes reusable Booking Templates that save time for frequently scheduled procedures. Once you create a template (such as “Shoulder Arthroscopy”), repetitive information like procedure codes, diagnosis codes, and other details auto-populate for future bookings, making the process quick and efficient.
