COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update for Johns Hopkins Rheumatology Patients

Updated: September 15, 2020

Get the latest updates for all appointments and procedures.

The Johns Hopkins Division of Rheumatology wants you to know that we remain committed to caring for you in the safest way possible.  We also want you to be aware of how we are managing the risk of coronavirus spread and provide you with relevant information regarding currently scheduled appointments and new appointment requests.

Communicating with Us

Our staff is currently working off-site and we strongly encourage the use of Mychart for communicating with our office.  If you are not currently enrolled as a Mychart user or need to reach an office member, please contact our office(s) by phone and provide the following information on the voicemail: name, date of birth, reason for call, treating provider and the best number on which you can be reached.  Messages are checked every hour on the hour, and will be returned within 24 business hours.  Patients with an urgent medical need after-hours can also reach one of our providers via the on-call number provided on the messaging service.

Appointments

As of July 14, 2020, the Division of Rheumatology transitioned to offering both virtual as well as in person appointments for all new and returning patients.  If you are a new or return patient and need to schedule a virtual or in-person visit, please call 443-997-1552. 

To complete a virtual visit most successfully, you should have an activated Mychart account and complete the following pre-registration steps at least 24 hours prior to your visit:

  • Complete the e-check-in process through MyChart. (E-check-in is available starting seven days before your video visit.)
  • Click the link found in the e-check-in process.
  • Electronically sign your telemedicine acknowledgement (valid for 1 year) and outpatient agreement forms (valid for 6 months)

More resources for successful visits can be found here:
