Lake County operates several community health centers. Ask staff to repeat the assigned building, address, date and check-in time.

Confirm insurance information, reduced-fee documents, prior medical or dental records, medication information, referral documents and forms.

Adult and pediatric care

Know Which Primary-Care Appointment to Request

Insurance and reduced fees

Ask About Coverage and Payment Help Before the Visit

Insurance Navigators

847-377-8599

Call for help understanding available health-coverage options.

Lake County’s patient-access promise

The Health Department states that it serves all patients, offers discounted fees to qualifying patients and does not deny services because of inability to pay.

Questions to ask before the appointment

  • Is my insurance plan accepted?
  • Do I need a referral?
  • What is the estimated visit charge?
  • Can I apply for discounted fees?
  • Which income documents are required?
  • Will laboratory or dental charges be separate?
  • Is payment due at check-in?
  • Who can explain an existing bill?
Online patient access

Use the Lake County Patient Portal for Available Health Information

Patient portal purpose

The official portal provides 24-hour access to available health information from visits to the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center.

Open Patient Portal Information

Portal problems to prepare for

  • Use the same personal information held by the health center.
  • Check spam or junk folders for account messages.
  • Do not create several accounts for the same patient.
  • Ask staff how proxy access works for a child or dependent.
  • Use the medical-record process when a document is not available online.
The portal is not an emergency contact. Call 911 for a medical emergency and 988 or 847-377-8088 for a behavioral-health crisis.
Health Information Management

Request Medical Records Through the Official Records Process

Decide exactly what is needed

Identify the date range, clinic, provider, record type and whether the records should go to you or another healthcare provider.

Open the Medical Records page

Use the current Lake County authorization and submission instructions.

Complete the authorization carefully

Use the patient’s legal information, specify the records requested and identify the authorized recipient.

Submit through the current approved method

Follow the instructions on the official page rather than sending medical information to a general county email.

Save proof and follow up with details

Keep a copy of the signed request and note when and how it was submitted.

Protect private information. Do not send diagnoses, Social Security numbers, insurance identifiers or identification documents to an unverified email address.
Current location note

North Chicago Health Center Patients May Be Routed Here

Lake County’s current health-center directory states that the North Chicago Health Center is temporarily closed for repairs and that its patients continue receiving care with their providers at Belvidere Medical Building, approximately two miles north.

Practical effect: Belvidere Medical Building may be serving additional patients. Confirm the location on every appointment reminder and allow enough time for check-in.
