Minor proxy access for MyChart allows a parent or guardian to securely communicate on behalf of a patient who is under the age of 18. Access is obtained by completing the Access Authorization with Minor Proxy form. The proxy access becomes more limited on the child’s 13th birthday and is automatically terminated on the child’s 18th birthday.

Adult proxy access for MyChart allows you to securely communicate on behalf of a patient who is 18 years of age or older. In order to obtain access, both the patient and proxy must complete and sign the Access Authorization with Adult Proxy form. The proxy’s access is terminated when the patient makes a written or online request to terminate access, an expiration date specified by the patient is reached, or the patient revokes access from within their MyChart account.

When you activate your MyChart account, you will immediately be able to send secure messages to your primary care clinician in Internal Medicine, Student Health, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. If you have proxy access for your child, you will be able to message their primary care clinician in Pediatrics. Please note proxy access for children is not available for children aged 13-17.

Once you have scheduled appointments with clinicians in other departments, you will be able to securely message them. You can message them up to one year prior to the appointment and up to two years following the appointment.

You will generally receive an answer within a few business days. Please note that MyChart should not be used for urgent situations. Please contact your clinician if the situation requires immediate attention or dial 911 if it is an emergency.

Results of common lab tests are immediately available in MyChart. Other tests are released 3 to 7 days after they are finalized, including imaging tests and pathology. Many providers will manually release them earlier, often with explanatory comments.

Please note, for those labs released immediately, you will be seeing results prior to review by your provider. Your provider will continue to communicate with you about results as they review them. In many cases providers wait until all results are complete before sending a comment. You can always click on the ‘About This Test’ link for more information about the test.
