MyChart

MyChart is a free medical app from Epic Systems Corporation that gives patients a way to view health information, manage care and keep in touch with their care team. It is aimed at people who receive care from a healthcare organization that offers MyChart, including people managing care for family members.

What the app does

MyChart brings health records and care tasks into one mobile app. Users can read test results, medication lists, immunization history and summaries from past visits and hospital stays. Clinical notes that a provider has recorded and shared are also available.

The app also covers scheduling. Users can book, change and cancel appointments, including in-person visits and video visits. Price estimates for care and billing details are shown in the app, and bills can be paid there.

• Messaging with a care team
• Viewing test results and medications
• Appointment scheduling for in-person and video visits
• Billing and payment tools
• Connecting accounts from other healthcare organizations

Accounts and access

Access depends on a healthcare organization. Users sign up through their provider, either by searching for the organization inside the app or through its MyChart website. Which features appear depends on what the organization has turned on and whether it uses the latest Epic software.

After sign-up, users can turn on fingerprint authentication or set a four-digit passcode for faster log in. Push notifications can be checked under Account Settings in the app.

Health Connect and data

The app can link to Health Connect to bring health-related data from personal devices into MyChart. Users can also share their medical record with others who have internet access.

The developer declares that health and fitness, app info and performance, photos and videos, messages, financial info, audio, personal info, files and documents, device or other IDs, and app activity are collected. The developer declares that no data is shared.
