Return to TopWho do I contact if I have further questions about how MyChart works?
You may e-mail us at uhmychart@uh.org, or you can call our MyChart 24-hour Support Line at 706-774-5800.
Return to TopCan I manage the health information of a family member or friend in MyChart?
Yes you can. This is called Proxy access and there are two types of access: Adult to Adult and Adult to Child. Adult to adult proxy allows you to access an adult's (over 18) medical information via MyChart. Adult to child proxy allows a parent or guardian to access a minor's medical information via MyChart. Proxy forms are available for download on the www.uhmychart.org log in page under the "Requesting access to a family member's MyChart" heading. Instructions for submitting the request are included at the bottom of each form.
Return to TopTo have proxy access for a patient do I need a University Health Care System medical record?
No. A University Health Care System medical record is not needed. A non-patient proxy is a user with a MyChart account, but no patient record.
Return to TopCan I ask questions regarding a family member from my MyChart account?
A proxy can send a message to the office of the patient's primary care physician or any provider with whom the patient has had an appointment in the past year at a participating University Health Care System facility or subscribing provider. If you are not a proxy for your family member, please do not send messages about that person from your MyChart account, since the information would not appear in the correct person's electronic medical record.
Return to TopCan my spouse and I share one MyChart account?
No. Each MyChart user will have their own account.
Return to TopI forgot my username and password. What should I do?
To retrieve your username click on the "Forgot MyChart username" link on the log in page and answer the personal information questions to have your username sent to your email address. To reset your password, you may click on the "Forgot password" link. After answering a security verification question you will be able to create a new password. If you require additional assistance, contact our 24-hour MyChart Support Line at 706-774-5800.
Return to TopWhere can I update my personal information (e.g., home address, e-mail or change my password)?

Return to TopCan I access MyChart from a mobile device?
Yes. Once you have created a user name and password at www.uhmychart.org, you can download the free MyChart app from the iPhone App Store or Android Market by searching for MyChart (Epic). After installation, the app will ask you to select a state, select Georgia and then select University Health Care System from the app's phone book. Note that not all MyChart features are available from the mobile app.

Return to TopHow do I know if I have a new message, or if other new information is available in my MyChart account?
You will receive an e-mail when you have new information in your MyChart account.

To do this, log into MyChart and on the Preferences tab, click "Notification" on the drop down menu. On the notifications page you can select which type of alerts you would like to receive notifications as well as change your contact e-mail address. You may also want to check your personal e-mail settings to make sure MyChart e-mails are not being sent to your junk mail folder.

You can submit update requests from the Current Health Issues, Medications or Allergies sections under the My Medical Record tab. Changes to your health information will be reviewed and updated at your next visit.
Return to TopHow do I schedule an appointment in MyChart?
You can submit a request to schedule an appointment with a participating physician that you have seen in the past year at University Health Care System facilities.

With direct scheduling you can choose from a list of available dates and times in which to schedule an appointment.
