What is Proxy Access?

Proxy access gives an authorized person access to a patient's MyChart (formerly MyPortfolio) medical information.

  1. Parents/guardians with proxy access through their own MyChart account can view the full MyChart information of a child under age 12 without the patient's consent.
    • Once a child turns 12, parents/legal guardians can still have proxy access to their child's MyChart information, but access is then very limited.
  2. Adult patients may give proxy access to another adult (such as a spouse, adult child or caregiver) to help manage their care.

Getting Access

Anyone seeking proxy access must have a MyChart account. If you do not have an account, please register for one on our Patient Portal page.

  • Parents/guardians seeking access to a minor patient's medical information must fill out the Proxy Access Form for Pediatric and Minor Patients (PDF version | Word document).
  • An adult patient may authorize a person to access his/her medical information on MyChart via the Proxy Access Form for Competent Adults (PDF version | Word document).

Please submit your completed access form to your UMMS provider's office.
