Frequently asked questions

  • How does this service help me decide?

    Our chat service is intended to be a one-stop shop for navigating your healthcare needs by directing you to experts across Baylor Scott & White Health. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms, our goal is to guide you to the best place of care for your needs.

    Depending on the time of day, you can discuss your options with a Care Guide. If needed, our centralized Scheduling Team can assist you in making an appointment. Additionally, this chat service can direct you to the right teams for follow-up care and medication refills.

  • Who am I chatting with?

    Help Me Decide is a combination of automated responses and a live chat with our health team members who provide advice and assistance so you can take your next steps.

    Team members include Care Guides—nurse navigators who will advise you on available care options. If you need to schedule an appointment, a member of our Scheduling Team will join and make you an appointment with a clinic that meets your needs, including finding the quickest available time.
