I am in the same situation. It wants me to schedule an appointment group. I'm guessing that means more than one appointment. It does offer several time slots to choose from but I have no idea what the appointment(s) are for - and that does make a difference. Some appointments, like blood draws, are very quick so you can schedule the next appointment fairly soon while other appointments, like CT scans and MRI scans, always have a lot of waiting and take longer so you schedule subsequent appointments a little later. You have to be fasting for some appointments and sometimes you might want to wear different clothing but this does not give me a clue about any of that. This has got to get better to be considered useful. The way it is now I will have to do some calling and/or messaging to find out how many appointments they want and what for before I schedule anything.

After a long phone call, it turned out they wanted 3 appointments(it didn't tell me that) and they were for my next scan check which is in August(it didn't tell me that).
However on the phone we were able to get them all set up. Blood draw one day, CT scan the next day and a consultation a minimum of a few hours after the scan.
