The most important changes that these existing entity users will encounter when using MyIntealth are summarized below. This information for each service may include dates for completing in-progress applications/requests, how to access services, process changes, and ID numbers.
This page also highlights changes affecting applicants to our services (medical students and physicians) that may be of interest to entity users. More detailed information for existing applicants is available on this website.
Please review the information for each service below, check back frequently, and follow us on the social media channels found at the bottom of this page for updates as they become available.
During the transition to MyIntealth, processing times for all services may be longer than usual both before and after launch. We sincerely appreciate the understanding and support of all users as we work through this period of change.
There will be updates to the processes for requesting our services in MyIntealth. Some of these changes are outlined below by service.
Because of these updates, some in-progress applications/requests from applicants cannot be transferred to MyIntealth. Please see Dates for Completing Certain In-Progress Applications/Requests on the Information for Existing Applicants web page for available information.
Entity users:
If an entity user already has used any of our services, we will transfer the user’s existing account information to MyIntealth prior to launch, including merging multiple accounts into a single new account.
Applicants to our services (medical students and physicians) will be assigned a MyIntealth ID, and their MyIntealth ID will appear on certain MyIntealth screens, reports, and other documents. In addition to the MyIntealth ID, MyIntealth will continue to support applicant ID numbers used by certain other organizations. Please see the information on Other ID Numbers by service on the Information for Existing Applicants web page.
