Is there a fee to use MyHealthRecord ?
My MyHealthRecord is a free service offered to our patients.
How do I sign up?
Patients who wish to participate will be issued a MyHealthRecord invitation during their clinic or hospital visit. This invitation will enable you to login and create your own user ID and password. You will be asked to provide your email address to complete this process. A valid picture ID is required to verify your identity.
How do I claim my invitation?
An invitation will be sent to the email address you gave during sign up. Once you have received the email, follow the directions on the screen. The step-by-step process will allow you verify your identity by answering a challenge question and entering your date of birth. You will then be guided through the process to build your own username and password.
When can I see my test results in MyHealthRecord?
Your test results will be viewable in the patient portal immediately after the results are put into your health record. The following test results are currently not available to view in MyHealthRecord: Tests indicating sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, Hepatitis Serologies, Pregnancy Test, and tumor markers.
Why are certain test results not shared electronically via MyHealthRecord?
Tests of a very sensitive nature are not released to MyHealthRecord.
