What is Proxy Access?

Overview

Proxy access allows a person to access another person's MyChart account. Typically, parents will use this to access their child's account so they can schedule appointments, check immunizations, request medications, and coordinate other health-related information for their child. Adults may also use it to access an older parent or relative's record.

 

What Types of Proxy are There?

Limited Access:

  • See upcoming appointments
  • See billing information and make copays if the proxy is an account guarantor

Full Access:

  • See all appointments and after visit summaries
  • View test results and health issues
  • See billing information and make copays
  • Schedule appointments and complete online check-in

 

Who Can Be a Proxy?

For Children Age 0-12:

  • Parents or guardians of a child can have full access

For Children Age 13-17:

  • Parents or guardians of a child can have limited access

For Adults:

  • Trusted relatives of a patient with their own MyChart account can have full access
  • Legal representatives of a patient who is not able to make their own medical decisions due to developmental delays or other cognitive disabilities can have full access.

 

Who Cannot Be a Proxy?

  • Foster Parent to Child
  • Non-custodial parent (step-parent for example) to child
  • Adult to Adult Patient where the patient does not have their own MyChart account
