Return to TopHow do I sign up?
Patients who wish to participate will be issued a MyChart activation code during their appointment with their physician. This code will enable you to log in and create your own username and password. If you were not issued an activation code, you may call 1-888-84-CHART to request one or ask to sign up during your next office visit.
Return to TopWho do I contact if I have further questions?
Please call our MyChart Patient Support Line at 1-888-84-CHART.
Return to TopWhat test results are available in MyChart?
Screening mammograms and pap smears are released to your MyChart account after your physician has reviewed them. This is generally 4-6 days.
Return to TopWhat lab results are available in MyChart?
Select lab results (CBC, CBC w/diff, CMP, BMP, Lipid Panel, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, TSH) are automatically released to MyChart within 4-6 days after they are complete. Additional lab results can be released to your MyChart account by your physician at any time.
Return to TopWhy are certain test results not shared electronically via MyChart?
Your physician determines which types of test results are available through MyChart. Please discuss this directly with your physician.
Return to TopIf some of my health information on MyChart is not correct, what should I do?
Your MyChart information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your doctor's office. Ask your doctor to correct any inaccurate information at your next clinic visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record each visit.
Return to TopIf I send a message to my doctor or nurse, when can I expect a reply?
You will generally receive an answer within 1-3 business days. Please note that MyChart should not be used for urgent situations. Please contact your physician office by phone if the situation requires immediate attention or dial 911 if there is an emergency.
Return to TopCan I view a family member's health record in MyChart?
Yes you can. This is called proxy access and allows a parent (or guardian) to log into their personal MyChart account, and then connect to information regarding their family member. Complete a Proxy Consent Form and return it to one of our medical facilities to request access to this convenient service.
Return to TopCan I ask questions regarding a family member from my MyChart account?
No. MyChart offers direct access to your personal health record and allows you to communicate about your health record. Any communication about another individual would appear in your health record not theirs.
Return to TopCan my spouse and I share one MyChart account?
No, due to the sensitive nature of medical information, each adult must sign and submit a Release of Information request and establish their own MyChart account.
Return to TopCan you send me a new activation code as I have lost it, let it expire or did not receive it?
Contact us at 1-888-84-CHART and after we verify your information, a new code will be sent.
Return to TopMy activation code does not work, what should I do?
For your security, your activation code expires after 2 weeks. If your activation code has expired or you did not receive one to activate your account, simply click the "Sign Up Now" button on the MyChart login page. If you still have problems, call MyChart Customer Service at 1-888-84-CHART.
Return to TopI forgot my password. What should I do?
Click the "Forgot password" link on the MyChart login page to reset your password online. You may also contact MyChart Customer Service at 1-888-84-CHART for additional assistance.
Return to TopWhere can I update my personal information (e.g., home address, e-mail or change my password)?
Log into MyChart and from the left menu, go to the Preferences section and select the appropriate option.
Return to TopHow is MyChart secure?
We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure activation codes, personal usernames, and passwords. Each person controls their password, and the account cannot be accessed without that password. Unlike conventional e-mail, all MyChart messaging is done while you are securely logged on to our website.
Return to TopWhat is your Privacy Policy?
MyChart is owned and operated by MyChart and is fully compliant with federal and state laws pertaining to your privacy. Your name and e-mail address will be treated with the same care and privacy given your health records and will never be sold or leased by MyChart.
Return to TopI was logged out of MyChart, what happened?
We aim to protect your privacy and security of your information. While logged into MyChart, if your keyboard remains idle for 15 minutes or more, you will be automatically logged out of MyChart. We recommend that you log out of your MyChart session if you need to leave your computer for even a short period of time.
What do I need to use MyChart?
You need access to a computer connected to the Internet and an up-to-date browser.
