I can't see my test results.
Most labs and/or test results are available as soon as they are finalized. Some labs and/or test may be withheld (by law) until you have a face-to-face visit with your provider.
You may not get an immediate interpretation from your provider of the finalized labs and/or test results. Results are released automatically to MyChart at the same time they are sent to the provider who ordered the test. You have the choice to view the results before communication from the clinical team or wait to receive communication from the clinical team.
Results released through MyChart may also be immediately available in third-party apps that you have given permission to access your data. If you have urgent questions about your labs and/or test results, please contact your provider’s office.

General Questions:
Why do I no longer have full proxy access to my child’s medical record?
We now allow teens aged 12-17 to have access to their medical records in MyChart, with parental permission.To comply with the ONC Cures Act Final Rule, which went into effect Nov. 2, 2020, we made some changes to proxy access. Proxy access for accounts of teens aged 12-17 was automatically changed to “limited view.”If you currently have proxy access to a teen's medical record, please talk to your teen's provider during your next visit about re-activating proxy access.
Return to Top
Can I grant access to someone else to view my health information?
Yes, you can. This is called proxy access and allows a parent (or guardian) to log in to 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 or select Share My Record from the Health menu. From there you can select "Friends and family access" and modify or add new access to your health record.
