Return to TopCan I also see my family members' health records?
Yes, you can. This is called 'proxy' access. For a child under 12, this allows a parent or legal guardian to log into their personal MyChart account, and then view information regarding their child. Per State and Federal guidelines, after the child becomes 12 the parent will still have access to appointments and be able to send messages but will have limited access to the child's medical record information unless an Advanced Teen Proxy consent form is signed by the adult and teen a the provider's office. Once the child turns 18, the parent can get access to the patient's medical record information with the patient's authorization. It is also possible to request access to another adult's health record if you help manage that adult's medical care. For more information please inquire about our Proxy Access FAQ Form. You can download the appropriate proxy form from our Sign-Up Forms page.
