Getting Started with MyChart
See the full listing of all the features MyChart offers you below. But first, some of the most common questions we receive are:
-
Take one of these steps: Sign up online or use the MyChart free downloadable app.
-
Parents and legal guardians can use MyChart to help take care of their child’s medical care through proxy access, but there are some things to be aware of depending on the child’s age.
Ages 11 and under: Parents and legal guardians can send messages to the child’s providers, schedule appointments, including well-child checks, view upcoming and past appointments, pay bills, view immunization records, test results and more.
Ages 12–17: Once a child turns 12, there are some changes to what parents can see in a child’s MyChart account. While parents can still pay bills and view immunization records, certain information related to appointments and medications won't be available to protect the child’s privacy. Sensitive information like medications and test results are generally not available to those with proxy access. This type of information isn't available to those with proxy access to provide teens with a safe space to seek medical care and guidance.
Ages 18 and older: Once a child turns 18, parents no longer have access to their health record in MyChart and have to be granted access by the adult child. A person 18 years old or older can give a parent access from their own MyChart account by going to “Share MyRecord Activity,” selecting “Friends and Family Access,” and clicking the “Invite Someone” hyperlink.

In MyChart, patients can choose to receive (get) paper bills. To get paper bills, please do the following:
1) Log in to your MyChart account.
2) Under “Your Menu,” click on the “Billing Summary Activity.”
3) Below the bill details, you should see a sentence that reads, “If you would like to receive paper statements, you may cancel paperless billing.” Select the highlighted words “Cancel Paperless Billing.”
4) On the new screen that appears, click on the orange button that reads "Receive Paper Statements."
