MyChart Features
Virtual Visits
Virtual Visits must be done through an account with full access, which includes a proxy of a child under 13 years or a patient 13 years or older. Once logged into MyChart with the proper account, navigate to Appointments to begin the Pre-Visit Validation process. Once this process is complete, you will be prompted to Begin the Visit, and it will open automatically in Zoom.
You are eligible for a virtual visit using any mobile smartphone or tablet, such as an IPhone, Android, or iPad. From your mobile device, download the MyChart app through the Apple Store or Google Play. You will also need to download the Zoom application, as this software enables the virtual visit.
If you have followed the steps above and have been waiting more than 5-10 minutes past your appointment time, please call the office to assure you that you are all set & your provider will be joining your visit shortly.
Printing a Health Form
To print a health form, you’ll need to be on a browser (not the mobile app).
Select the child’s name and navigate to the child’s Menu in the left corner. Under Communication, click on Letters. Select the form and click the print icon in the upper right.
To save and email, print to PDF and save the file to your computer.
Making a Payment Online
*Payments can be made through MyChart for patient accounts or proxy accounts with Billing access. Only one proxy account may have Billing access. Call the office if you feel you should have this but don’t.
To make a payment without this access, you may Pay as Guest or click Make Payment below. You will need the account number on your statement. You will not be able to see past payments or balances.
For balances from Dates of Service before March 31, 2020, please call the office and mention the date of service for which you want to pay.
Sending Messages with Attachments
In some cases, it may be necessary to send a MyChart message with an attached photo, video, or document. In most cases, messages are routed to the office of the Primary Care Physician, and will be available to members of the office’s clinical staff.
- From the website: Messages > Ask a Question > choose New Medical Question
- From the App: Messages > Send a Message > choose Medical Advice
After entering the text of your message, you will find a link to add “Attach an Image” or add an “Attachment”.
Please note that MyChart messaging should not be used for any urgent issues. These messages are not monitored after hours.
Paperless Statements
If your account has a balance after insurance has paid, a statement is created for you. As of June 28, 2022, paperless statements will be the default method for all guarantors so instead of receiving a printed statement in the mail, guarantors will be able to access statements online in MyChart. If we have your email address, then you will automatically get an email alert when a statement is available for you to view on MyChart.
If you would like to continue receiving paper statements in the mail, then you may cancel paperless billing in MyChart. You can always turn paperless billing back on at any time by following these steps
- From the Billing Summary page, click the paperless billing alert.
- Enter and verify your email address and select the corresponding check box to receive notifications.
- Select the I understand that I will no longer receive statements in the mail check box and click Sign Me Up.
