SPECIAL NOTE PATIENT FINANCIAL SERVICES WHILE WE TRANSITION TO EPIC: Patient accounts with a date of service prior to February 7, 2026 will not transfer to Epic.

These records will remain in our current EHR Meditech system. You will continue to receive the same communication (paper statements, text messages, and/or phone calls) you currently receive until all your Meditech balances are zero.

If you have a patient balance in Meditech and Epic (unpaid services prior to February 7, and services after February 7), you will receive two monthly statement notifications. One for your Meditech patient balance and one for your Epic patient balance.

If you have any questions about your Meditech or Epic patient balances, you can contact our Patient Financial Services department at 920-746-3502 or dcmcpfs@dcmedical.org.

Learn more about DCMC’s transition to Epic in this article by The Business News!

“Currently serving the EHR needs of 325 million patients worldwide – per DCMC’s press release – Stephens said he wonders if Wisconsinites are aware of the economic impact Epic has on the dairy state and beyond.

‘I don’t know that the average Wisconsin resident realizes what a gem we have in Epic as a company here in Wisconsin,’ he said. ‘It is the worldwide leader in electronic health record [systems], it was started at the University of Wisconsin-[Madison and] it’s still privately held with very close ties to the university.’”

Today is the day! The long-awaited rollout of Epic, the most widely adopted electronic health record (EHR) system in the country, at Door County Medical Center is here.

We want to congratulate everyone on the DCMC, Hospital Sister Health System and Epic teams that helped bring this moment to fruition. From months of planning, coordinating and strategizing; to the painstaking hours spent training, dotting every “i”, and testing again and again; down to the helpful directional signage. Your work is deeply appreciated.

To all DCMC patients, we are incredibly grateful for your support of this rollout. While the team has done their best to anticipate every possible issue as we transition from planning to implementation, we thank you in advance for your patience.

For the next several weeks, we ask that you come to your appointments 15-20 minutes earlier than normal to accommodate for the additional administrative work that may be required.

If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to download the MyChart app and begin the account setup process. You can find a list of frequently asked questions here: https://www.dcmedical.org/epic and if you have any additional questions, please contact us at helpdesk@hshs.org or 1-866-312-5023.

With the fluctuation of temperatures, this is a prime time for black ice. This thin coat of ice can form on roadways, bridges, sidewalks and parking lots. Because it is transparent, it can visually blend into the pavement, taking drivers and pedestrians by surprise.

To stay safe and avoid falling, wear sturdy shoes with good traction, take short, flat-footed steps (like a penguin), keep arms out for balance, walk in well-salted areas, and test the ground before each step to avoid serious slips and falls.
