You will need to fill out the form, completing all the required fields. Click the image to enlarge.

Printing Appointment Receipts
Once your appointments are completed and you've paid you can view your appointment history and print your receipts.
- Go to your account page by clicking the user icon or your name on the top right.
- Under the Appointments Menu click "Load My Transactions"
- Find the transaction you want to print, then click the printer icon. The receipt will open in a new window.
You can also print receipts using the Load My Appointments button. If you don't see the printer icon, that means there is no payment associated with the appointment, or the appointment is in the future:
Retrieving a Lost Password
With your clinic's Open ACU account you cannot retrieve a lost password because passwords are encrypted. You can request your password to be reset. If you request a password reset you will be sent an email with a link. That link will give you an opportunity to reset the password. Be advised that reset links expire after 4 hours.
