MyChart Account Access - Children's Health (2024)

During your child’s visit you may have received an email or text from Children’s Health with a link to sign up for MyChart, the Children’s Health Patient Portal. Click the link and follow the instructions to set up your Children’s Health Patient Portal username and password. The link expires after 30 days and is no longer valid after the first time you use it.

Note that if you already have a MyChart account for another health organization, you must create a separate Children’s Health MyChart account. You can link your accounts when logged in to MyChart or the Children’s Health app.

Account Types

Children’s Health provides 3 kinds of MyChart accounts:

• Proxy Account
  (for parents and legal guardians)

  A proxy account allows a parent or legal guardian full access and control over the account for a child under the age of 18. A child may have more than one person designated as their proxy. Each proxy must have their own Children’s Health MyChart Patient Portal account.

  Caregivers are not eligible for proxy accounts for children under the supervision of Child Protective Services.

• Minor Account
  (for patients age 14-17)

  A patient aged 14 to 17 can have a minor account if their parent or legal guardian consents. The minor account and any associated proxy account will have access to the same MyChart features and all of the minor’s personal health records.

  A proxy can request a minor account for their child in MyChart by navigating to Menu > Minor Account (14-17) > Parental/Guardian Consent and completing the Parental/Guardian Consent Access to MyChart form.

  Children in foster care and their caregivers are not eligible for MyChart accounts.

• Adult Patient Account
  (for patients age 18+)

  A patient 18 years of age or older has their own account, and full access and control over their account. If a parent or legal guardian wishes to have access to their adult child’s account, the child can give proxy access in MyChart by Navigating to Menu > Sharing > Sharing Hub.

Note that children under the age of 14 cannot have their own accounts.
