UTMB MyChart Frequently Asked Questions

Enrollment Questions

What is MyChart?

MyChart is a website/app that allows patients or their proxies to access personal medical information and clinic services on-line, and to communicate with their UTMB health care team. This is a voluntary service, offered as a convenience and courtesy by UTMB Health to patients who receive care from UTMB providers. MyChart should only be used for non-urgent issues, and never in an emergency.
Where do I find MyChart?

MyChart is available at the website www.utmb.edu/mychart and through the MyChart smartphone apps available for iOS and Android devices.
What equipment do I need to access MyChart?

Website: You will need an up-to-date web browser and internet connection.
APP: Apple or Android smart phone and app store account. The MyChart app is free.
How do I sign up?
UTMB Health patients 14 years and older may activate a MyChart account.
Sign up options for patients ages 14-17 years:
Access to UTMB Health MyChart for teen patients, ages 14-17 must be activated during a clinic visit. We encourage our teen patients interested in activating MyChart access to discuss this with the doctor at his or her next appointment.
Sign up options for patients 18 years and older:
1. Sign up during your next clinic appointment- Ask a nurse or provider to help you activate an account!
2. Ask the front desk Patient Services Specialist for an access code at check-in. Or find your access code on your After Visit Summary (AVS) following your appointment. This code can be used to activate your MyChart account on the MyChart Signup Page
3. Request an Account from the MyChart website- an access code and instructions will be sent to the email address you provide.
To activate your account online, you will need your access code and your Medical Record Number (MRN). You will need to create a MyChart ID which you will use every time you log into MyChart. Be sure to create something you can remember. You are not able to change your username once created.
You will create your own personal password, which should not be shared with anyone, and provide a security question and answer. These are there to protect your personal health information. Finally, you will be asked to provide an email address.
Your password should be a minimum of 8 characters long (longer is better), have at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and use a combination of letters and numbers. If you have an existing MyChart account and your current password does not meet these minimum requirements, you will be asked to reset your password when you go to log in.
My access code does not work. What should I do?

For your security, the access code to activate your MyChart account expires after 90 days and is only valid for one-time use. The access code must be entered exactly as it is given, so you must use capital letters when entering it. Upon activation of your MyChart account, this code expires and may be safely discarded.
Note: The access code to activate your MyChart account is different from the two-factor authentication code which is needed to login to your existing MyChart account. When required, the two-factor authentication code will be sent after logging into your already activated MyChart account.
For questions, please contact the MyChart Patient Support team at (409) 77-CHART.
Why do I need to provide an email address?

A current email address is required when you activate your account. A simple 'tickler' message will be sent to this email address to alert you when new information has been posted to your account. No personal medical information is sent within these email alerts. You will receive an alert when you have a new message or a new test result in MyChart. You then know to log-in to MyChart.
Is there a fee for a MyChart account?

There is no cost to activate and use MyChart to access your personal health information.
Who do I contact if I have questions or problems using MyChart?

If you have questions regarding information contained in your medical record, please contact your clinic directly by sending a MyChart secure message, or telephoning the clinic. They will assist you with any clinical questions you may have.

For website and technical questions, please contact the MyChart Patient Support team at (409) 77-CHART.

Your Medical Record

Expand All

What medical information is available in MyChart?
MyChart provides access to portions of your medical information stored in your UTMB Health electronic medical record. This includes:
- Test results
- Medications
- Allergies
- Immunizations
- Preventive care reminders
- Health issues
- Secure messaging with clinic staff where the patient receives care.
- Appointments- Requests, future, past and cancellation
- Billing
- Demographics
MyChart does not display all information in your medical record. Each feature page will describe the information available to you. If you need information or services beyond what is available to you on-line, please call your clinic. If you need a complete copy of your medical record, please contact UTMB Health Information Management at (409) 772-1965 for information about the Release of Information process.
If some of my health information on MyChart is not correct, what should I do?

Your MyChart information comes directly from your UTMB Health electronic medical record. No information is stored in MyChart. When viewing information within MyChart you may notice information this is missing or incorrect. If this occurs, please report it to clinical staff or your provider, by sending a MyChart secure message or at your next clinic visit. The information will display in MyChart once your medical record has been updated.
Who am I able to send a MyChart medical advice message to?

You may only communicate with established providers via MyChart. Therefore, you will find the names of providers you have seen in the past 36 months, and may send any of them a message. A provider's name will automatically drop off of your list when more than 36 months have passed since your last clinic visit. You may always send a message to the MyChart Nurse, who will be happy to assist.
If I send a message to my clinical care team, when can I expect a reply?

You may send non-urgent messages to providers you have seen in the past three years. Clinical staff or your provider will reply to your message. Please allow 2 business days for a response. These days may be extended by UTMB recognized holiday closures.
MyChart is not for urgent needs. Never use it in an emergency. If you experience a life threatening emergency, call 9-1-1. If your need is urgent and requires an immediate response, call your clinic instead of sending a message.
Should I use MyChart to let my doctor know I am in terrible pain?
In the event of urgent medical concerns, please do not use MyChart. Please call the clinic to speak with a clinical staff person. If you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention by calling 9-1-1.
- Signs of a heart attack
- Signs of a stroke
- Bleeding that won't stop
- Poisoning, drug overdose, or severe reaction to medication
- Choking or trouble breathing
- Coughing up or vomiting blood
- Sudden, severe pain
- Suicidal thoughts or behavior
- Broken bones, bad burns and other serious injuries
- Seizure or fainting; lack of consciousness
- High fever that won't come down
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea
- Severe or worsening reaction to insect, snake or spider bite
Are Secure Messages confidential?

Messages you send will route first to your provider's clinical staff. A clinical staff person will either complete your request or forward on to your provider for resolution, based on the subject matter of your message.

In the course of your care, it is not uncommon that UTMB staff involved in your care may access your medical information. Strict UTMB policies and processes are in place to assure the protection of our patients' personal health information against unlawful access, including the ability to identify the occurrence and the violator.
When will my test results be available in MyChart?

UTMB Health strives to provide timely access to your health information. Most test results are released automatically to MyChart as soon as they are finalized. However, Texas law now requires a 72-hour delay for certain sensitive results—such as pathology or radiology reports that may indicate cancer, or tests that could reveal a genetic condition. This delay gives your physician time to review and discuss these results with you before they appear in your portal.
Why is there a delay for some results?

Receiving potentially life-changing news without context can be stressful. The 72-hour delay ensures your provider has an opportunity to explain what the results mean and outline next steps for your care.
What should I do if I have questions about my results?

If you have questions or concerns, please allow your provider up to 48 hours after the results are released to MyChart to contact you. If you haven’t heard from your provider after that time, send a secure message through MyChart to discuss your concerns.
Are all results available in MyChart?

Not all studies are completed in the electronic medical record. These results will be shared with you by telephone or U.S. mail. Inpatient lab results will continue to be released 24 hours after being sent to your provider.
How can I find out what my lab tests mean so I understand what I am reading?

While in MyChart on your test result page, click on the link About This Test. This will take you to health information options, from which you may select your specific lab result to read more detail. You may also try searching with an internet search engine like Google.

Processing labs often have their own unique name for a lab test, so you may not be able to search and find information on a particular test. In that event, send a secure message to your clinic team with a request for further explanation of the specific lab test and the meaning of the results.
Can I schedule and manage my UTMB clinic appointments on MyChart?

Log in to MyChart and open your Appointment menu. To schedule an appointment, select your provider or reason for visit and follow the steps to schedule and appointment. Sometimes an appointment cannot be directly scheduled and you will be prompted to send a message requesting an appointment.

Review the list of your Upcoming Appointments. If you need to change the date and time of a scheduled appointment, select the appointment and Cancel it. Then request a new appointment to replace the canceled. There is no reschedule feature in MyChart; only request and cancel.
What is PreCheck-In?
PreCheck-In is an activity within an upcoming appointment that saves you time by allowing you to complete check-in steps in the privacy of your own home. By completing these tasks prior to arriving for your appointment, you will not need to complete them when you arrive for your scheduled appointment at the clinic.
With PreCheck-In, you can:
- Verify / Update Demographics
- Verify / Update Insurance
- Verify / Update Medications
- Verify / Update Allergies
- Verify / Update Current Health Issues
- Complete any Questionnaires that may have been sent
- E-Sign Consents Forms
- Pay your Visit Co-Pay
Please note that you will still need to go to the front desk when you arrive for your appointment to let the clinic staff know that you have arrived and to complete any additional check-in steps that may be required.
Pharmacy Update Notifications

MyChart will send you notifications about medication requests. When you submit a refill/renewal request, you will be alerted when the provider approves or rejects it. For medications filled at UTMB pharmacies, you will also receive notifications when the medication is ready or if there is a delay.
For medications to be filled at a non-UTMB pharmacy, that pharmacy should let you know the status of the prescription.
Understanding "Past Visits" in MyChart

“Past visits” displays a record of clinical activity you’ve experienced at UTMB. This activity may have been an in-person visit to a clinic, a hospital stay, telemedicine consult or procedure in one of our surgical centers. The record will show an "After Visit Summary (AVS)" from the encounter, which will typically contain information about your care and follow-up instructions. Your MyChart AVS may also state "Today you saw" even though you had no physical visit with a provider; this is the system’s way of capturing and recording items related to your care, such as referrals, a provider’s medical orders or other relevant clinical information.
My Scanned Documents in MyChart

Starting 03/26/2024, scanned documents that have been signed, either on paper or electronically, such as consents, will appear in patient’s MyChart under the Document Center section in My Records.
From Document Center, click My Documents to see the scanned documents available in MyChart for you to view or download.

Accessing Another Person's MyChart

Expand All

Can I access another person's MyChart account to help manage their healthcare?
Yes, this is called Proxy Access. Proxy access allows a person to access data in another person's MyChart account, by logging into their personal MyChart account, and then connecting to information regarding the subject.
- The subject is the person whose MyChart account is being accessed. This may be a child, spouse, parent, or other person for whom you are caring.
  If the subject in over the age of 18, the subject must give permission for the proxy to have access. They can send a proxy access invite from within their own MyChart account to anyone who is also 18 and older and has a UTMB MyChart account.
  If the subject is under the age of 18, proxy access to the account can only be granted to a parent or conservator/guardian appointed by court final order.
- The proxy is the person who wants access to the subject's MyChart account.
- No one should ever access another person's MyChart account unless it has been linked to their own through proxy access.
To request access to someone else's MyChart, follow the instructions under the "I want access to someone else's MyChart" section.
Do I need my own MyChart account in order to access someone else's?

Yes! You will need to create your own MyChart account. Then, after being granted access and logging in, you will find your linked accounts.
If you are not a patient at UTMB, you may request a MyChart account that will allow you proxy access to another's account. You can only access someone else's account through your own MyChart account.
What are the levels of proxy access for a parent/guardian by age group?
In alignment with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and Texas Confidentiality Laws there are different levels of access for different ages please read information below.
- AGE: Birth – 13:
  Proxies have full access to the patient’s chart until the last calendar day before the patient’s 14^th birthday.
- AGE: 14 – 17: Restricted Mode
  Patients are eligible for their own MyChart account with full access to their own health information. The adolescent patient may review and terminate proxy access at any time from within their own account. Proxy access is limited and excludes test results, past visits, medications, health issues and letters.
  When accessing a patient in this age group via proxy you will see a welcome message stating that you are in “Restricted Mode”. This indicates that access to some activities is limited.
  Please note: Full proxy access can be granted to the MyChart account of a teen patient with special needs. This access can be requested from within MyChart.
- AGE: 18 and older:
  Patients have full access to their own account and can they can send a proxy access invite from within their own MyChart account to anyone who is also 18 and older and has a UTMB MyChart account. Patients can also may review and terminate proxy access from within their MyChart.
Are there age requirements to gain access someone's account via proxy access?
- Only adults 18 years and older may have a MyChart account that allows proxy access to another’s account.
- Teens 14-17 may use MyChart, but may not have a MyChart account that allows proxy access to another’s account.
- Children under 14 years old may not use MyChart, but their parents may access the child's medical record using MyChart proxy access. Only the biological parents and legal guardians appointed by court final order may have access to a minor child's account.

My child has special needs which requires that I have access to all medical information in MyChart to manage their healthcare. How do I request this?
If your minor child has documented special needs, there are two ways that you can request this access.
1. If you have a MyChart account, login to your MyChart account. Once logged in, click on the menu bar and select "Request Access to a Patient's Record". Under Additional Information, in the "This minor is your" field, choose "Special Needs Minor".
2. If you do not have a MyChart account, you first need to request an account. Once you have a MyChart account, you can submit the request for proxy by following the instructions above.
The request and your minor's medical record will be reviewed by a pediatrician and access will be granted if documentation supports full access to the minor's medical information based on the minor's needs, regardless of age. When the minor child reaches age 18, proxy access is automatically terminated.
Can I request proxy access for a Foster Child?

Yes, proxy access can be provisioned for foster children. To do so, submit the proxy request in MyChart. Medical Records will follow-up with a MyChart message requesting an electronic copy of Form 2085-B Designation of Medical Consenter. Note: Foster Child access is set to automatically expire after 6 months. You may re-request access for another 6 months after it has expired.
Do I have to be a UTMB patient to receive proxy access?

If you are not a patient at UTMB, you may request a MyChart account that will allow you proxy access to another's account. You can only access someone else's account through your own MyChart account.
Can I access the MyChart account of a deceased patient?

When a patient is deceased, their MyChart account is automatically deactivated and all proxy access to the patient is expired. If you have a need to access health information on a deceased patient, please contact UTMB Health Information Management at (409) 772-1965 for information about the Release of Information process.

What this means for patients:
For most patients, the only impact is that UTMB SMS notifications will be delivered from the numbers 60342 and 87901.

Why was my account deactivated? How do I restore it?

If you were advised that your MyChart account was deactivated, it’s likely because two-factor authentication had not been set up for the account. Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security used to verify your identity when you are accessing your account. It has been a requirement for accessing MyChart since March 2022.
Accounts that were not accessed and enrolled in two-factor authentication as of March 12, 2025 were automatically deactivated as a security precaution. Your data is safe and the accounts are not deleted; they can be easily restored. To reactivate your MyChart account, call MyChart support at 409-772-4278.
