What is Klara?

Klara is a HIPAA-safe patient texting app.  With Klara, Eye Physicians can text you and keep your information safe.

We can also do video health visits with Klara.  You can also use Klara for questions about your bill, send copies of your insurance card(s) or other medical records.

How do I send a text message to Eye Physicians?

Text us at 402-624-4455.  You will get a text message back from us with a link.  Click on the link to start messaging us with Klara.  We will make sure it is you by asking for your/patient’s birth date.  The birth date and your cell phone number must match what is in your/patient’s medical record with us before you can begin your message.

When I text Eye Physicians, how do you know it is me and not someone else trying to get information about me?

The cell phone you use must match the cell phone number we have in your medical record to open the link.  You will enter a verification code and your/patient’s birth date before you can text us or see our messages to you.  If you text us about one of your children, the cell phone in your child’s medical record must match and you must use your child’s birth date before you can open the messages we send you.

What if I do NOT want to get text messages from Eye Physicians?

If you do not want text messages from Eye Physicians, reply “STOP.” You can also call us at 402-563-3686 to tell us you do not want to use text.
