3. Take these pictures WITHOUT ANY MAKE UP ON.
4. Center your face in the screen.  Don’t try and get a great selfie angle so you look good.
5. DON’T SMILE although you may smize (smile with your eyes…LOL).
6. Take the picture

Step 2:  Create a Client Portal

Below is the step by step video and written instructions on how to create your client portal and upload your photos

1. Access the email we sent you.  It should be an email titled “Welcome to Your Patient Portal”
2. Click the Optimantra hyperlink, which will contain the web address to set up your portal.
3. Once directed to the login screen click New User and enter your personal information.
4. IMPORTANT:  Make certain that the email address, your birthdate and the spelling of the first and last name that you gave to the AlternaCare employee that scheudled you  matches what is being entered into the profile or it will not work.  If it doesn’t work then you will cry and we will cry and all will be lost…ok, maybe a little over dramatic there but you get the point…LOL.
5. Once this step is complete you are now able to access your portal.
