Options for Sharing Codes
Codes can be shared with patients in several ways. From the Order Confirmation page, you have the following options:
Remember, if you want to use the code while the patient is with you, you will need to sign out of your clinician account or use a private browsing session or different browser.
Option #1: Share the Code As Is
1. Share the 4-alphanumeric code as is with your patient.
2. Your patient can enter their code on https://mycode.today and click Get Started
3. Your patient will be taken to the standard agreement screen. If they click I Agree and Understand, this will allow them to access their resources.
This is the same agreement screen all users see before viewing any resource in the Content Library.
Option #2: Copy Link
1. Click Copy Link to copy a special link onto your clipboard that has your patient's code embedded into it. That means when your patient uses this link, they won't have to enter their code at all - instead they'll be taken straight to the agreement screen. Hover over the Copy Link button to see a useful reminder.
2. Share this special link with your patients. Feel free to paste this link straight into a HIPAA secure means platform, whether that be an EHR, secure email platform, or a secure texting platform.
3. Your patient will be taken to the standard agreement screen. If they click I Agree and Understand, this will allow them to access their resources.
