- Sat - Sun: 8:30 am-3:30 pm
Urgent Care will be in a bigger space than its location on Highway 3, and convenient referrals for follow up care.
Because Jefferson Road Clinic is on the Northfield Hiawathaland bus route, this makes Urgent Care accessible via bus.

Prescriptions
What happens to my existing prescriptions?
- If you have refills available on your prescription, call your pharmacy to refill it as usual.
- If you have no refills, call your pharmacy. They will reach out to the prescribing provider’s care team to discuss refill. Your provider’s care team will determine whether it can be refilled, or if you need to be seen before continuing this medication.
- If you need to be seen before your prescription can be refilled, you will be contacted by your provider’s care team to schedule any follow up you need.

Patient Portal
Can I still access MyChart?
Yes, you will be able to continue to access your MyChart account to see past messages, and check results for test/labs done before Aug. 28.
Allina Health shuts down MyChart Messaging for Jefferson Road Clinic providers on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
- Allina Health shuts down MyChart Messaging for mental health providers at Jefferson Road Clinic on Friday, Sept. 18.
- To reach providers in the interim, call Allina Health’s patient care main number: 888-425-5462
If you see other Allina Health providers, you can continue using Allina’s MyChart to communicate with them.
If you have questions about using MyChart after Sept. 18, contact Allina Health.
NH+C has a similar patient portal, MyHealth Info.
Your MyChart information does not transfer over to MyHealth Info. You’ll need to set up a MyHealth Info account.
You can set up a MyHealth Info account when your first appointment is scheduled through NH+C. We’ll invite you to do this when you schedule your first appointment with us.
Once your MyHealth Info account is set up, you can use it right away to message your primary care provider, and any NH+C provider you’re scheduled to see.
Learn about NH+C's MyHealth Info here.
Electronic Medical Records
Can I still access my Allina Health records? Can my provider?
Yes, you will be able to continue to access your Allina Health records.
NH+C will help patients, providers and staff transition from Allina Health’s Epic system to NH+C’s Meditech Expanse system.
Patients will always be able to see their existing records in Epic; these files will remain, but will not be updated with new information after the clinic transition. New information will be added to patient records in Meditech Expanse.
Providers will maintain access to Epic, and continue to see patient records as “read-only” files. Providers won’t have the option to add or make changes to these files.
With two parallel electronic medical records, the back and forth will get a bit more complicated. NH+C is committed to making it as seamless as possible.
Health insurance
Will my insurance be covered?
BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF MINNESOTA: NH+C is in-network for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota insurance. As of Sept. 18, the Jefferson Road Clinic will be in-network for this insurance.
Overall, we have looked at the insurance products that many people hold in the Northfield area. The vast majority of them are equal from Allina Health to NH+C. There are a few that we're reviewing in more detail to make sure that those patients who have a specific insurance product can continue to get great access with NH+C, and we'll continue to improve that as we go into 2027.
It's always a good idea for individuals to call their insurance company and clarify their own coverage directly with their insurance carrier.
It’s helpful to have your insurance information when you’re scheduling or checking in for an appointment. Our patient-service staff can verify that we have your correct insurance information, and update it if needed.
