Using MyChart

When can I see my test results in MyChart?

Your test results are released to your MyChart account after your physician has received them. This is generally within 3 days. Please note, some tests require more than 3 days to complete.

Why are certain test results not shared electronically via MyChart?

Your provider is able to determine which types of test results are able to be accessed through MyChart. Further, tests of a very sensitive nature are not released to MyChart.

If 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 office visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record each visit.

If I send a message to my doctor, when can I expect a reply?

You will generally receive an answer by the end of the next business day. MyChart is NOT to be used for urgent needs. For medical emergencies, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Can I download a copy of my medical record?

Yes. You can download a portable copy of portions of your medical record that includes allergies, medications, current health issues, test results, and immunizations. This is called your Lucy record. You can download your Lucy record to a USB drive and take it with you to share with your other healthcare providers. Once you log in to MyChart with your username and password, this feature is available under the My Medical Record tab.

Can I make changes to my Allergy or Medication list?

Yes, you can make changes to both your Allergy and Medication list. These lists are found in the My Medical Record section of your MyChart account. If you want to remove a medication or allergy, click on the minus button found to the right of the item you wish to delete. If you want to add an allergy or medication, click on the plus button at the bottom of the list. Your doctor’s office will review your request before making the change.


MyChart For My Family

Can I view a family member’s health record in MyChart?

Yes you can. This is called Proxy access and allows a parent (or legal 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.

Can I ask questions regarding a family member from my MyChart account?

MyChart offers direct access to your personal health record and communicating about another individual’s information would be placed in your health record. This information would not appear in the correct health record and could potentially jeopardize medical care.

Can 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.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Bill Pay

Can I request an itemized statement online?

Itemized statements are not available online at this time. You may request a paper copy of your itemized statement from the billing office.

Can I pay with a check online?

At this time credit card payments (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) are the only accepted payment methods online.

Why cant I pay my spouse’s or child’s account?

  • Spouse: Adult patients are normally financially responsible for their own bill, so your spouse will be able to see and pay his or her own bills online through his or her own MyChart account. If your spouse does not have a MyChart account, he or she can sign up online.
  • Child: Only the person who has been identified as financially responsible for the bill is able to see and pay bills online. This was setup the very first time your child was seen by one of our physicians or our hospital, and is typically the insurance holder. If you would like to be the financially responsible party, please ask the front desk staff to change this at your child’s next visit.

Why can’t I make a reoccurring payment?

This feature is not available online at this time.

How soon will my credit card payment post?

You should receive a payment confirmation notification immediately which will be sent your MyChart Inbox.

Can I have a receipt?

Once your payment confirmation notification is received in MyChart, you can print the page if you prefer a paper copy.

What if I do not see any Billing Account summary information once I log in?

That means currently there are no outstanding patient balances due at this time.
