They all rely on their &#8220;portals&#8221; putting the onus on the patient to pull info rather than pushing&#8211; unless it&#8217;s about an outstanding balance, then they&#8217;re all up in your grill, pinging your text messages, leaving voice mail, and spamming your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>And every portal is different, with different log in requirements.
