Can I use MyChart for urgent medical issues?
No, MyChart is not for emergencies, and you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if you have an urgent or life‑threatening issue. MyChart messages are for non-urgent questions and are reviewed during business hours.
How long does it take to get a response to a MyChart message?
Most responses are within 1 to 3 business days, though response times can vary based on clinic volume and your provider's schedule.
Will I get email or text notifications from MyChart?
Yes, MyChart can send notifications about new messages, test results, and appointments. You have the option to customize how you receive these alerts in your communication preferences after you sign in.
Can I check in for visits through MyChart?
Yes, many visits support eCheck-In, which lets you confirm demographics, sign forms, and review medications before you arrive. Options will appear for eligible appointments in your Visits section.
Can I join a video visit from MyChart?
Yes, if your clinic offers telehealth, you can launch a video visit from the MyChart app or website using your camera and microphone. You will receive instructions and any technical requirements before your appointment.
Can I share my records with another doctor or caregiver?
Yes, you can download or print a visit summary and, in many cases, generate a share code or send records electronically to another provider. Your care team can guide you if you are not sure which option to use!
Can I pay a bill for a family member through my account?
Yes, if you have proxy access or if the bill is linked to your guarantor account, you can view and pay it from MyChart. The Billing section will show which accounts you are able to manage.
