Messaging

You can send non-urgent questions about prescriptions, test results, medical questions, referrals, and follow-up information.
Yes, you can add a document (.docx, .pdf), photo (.png, .jpeg, .jpg) or video (.mov, .mpeg) to your message. There is a limit of 10 attachments per message and a 25 MB size limit.
Do not send a message in an emergency or for urgent concerns. If you think your child is having a medical emergency, please call 911 or your local emergency services number. If you have a question that is urgent but doesn’t require immediate medical attention, please call your doctor’s office or the Boston Children’s Hospital main line at 617-355-6000 to be directed to the appropriate department.
Your care team will respond within two business days.
Only you and members of your child’s care team will have access to your messages. This includes administrative staff, nurses, doctors, and other health care professionals who manage your child’s care.
