What is MyChart?

MyChart is an easy-to-use online tool that gives you control over your health information. MyChart provides you with access to portions of your medical record information in a secure and confidential way. MyChart improves your ability to communicate with your healthcare provider by offering 24x7 online access to send secure messages and requests. MyChart helps you to become a more active and informed partner with your physician, enhancing your opportunities for better health.

With MyChart, you can do the following:

• Manage your appointments - Schedule appointments, view details from past and upcoming appointments.
• Complete questionnaires before arriving to your appointment - Such as your medical history to save time during your doctor or hospital visit.
• Keep up-to-date on vaccines and other routine health exams - Health Reminders keep you informed of upcoming and overdue health maintenance items such as flu shots, mammograms, tetanus shots and colonoscopies to name a few.
• Access your test results - No need to wait for your provider's office to call or send a letter. View your test results within a few days.
• Communicate with your Healthcare Provider(s) - Get questions answered without making a call or apportionment.
• Pay bills online - Access and pay your bills online or Pay as Guest. Pay as Guest allows you to pay bills for children or other family members without a MyChart account.
• Request Prescription Refills - Send a request for a refill for any refillable medications.

MyChart allows you to do all the above, right from your smartphone or personal computer; anywhere, anytime saving you time, money and unnecessary doctor visits.

As part of an Epic Community Connect Program, Virtua may partner with certain community health care providers to allow those providers to use Virtua’s electronic medical records (EMR) system to document their own patient information and offer MyChart to you. The MyChart offered through the Community Connect Program will display the name of the Community Connect partner associated with it, and may offer all or some of the functions listed above from the Community Connect partner.

What information is automatically available in MyChart?

Virtua has opted to proactively make a lot of your key medical information automatically available to you in MyChart, without you having to request it. As of February 23, 2021, Virtua expanded the amount of your medical information automatically available in MyChart, including most of your new provider notes. There may be circ*mstances under which a provider does not share a specific note to MyChart or delays the delivery of a specific test result, such as when you request not to receive a test result until your provider has had an opportunity to review it with you first. The information available includes:

• Inpatient provider notes (written during Virtua hospital visits)
• Outpatient provider notes (from visits to your Virtua primary care or specialist office)
• Virtua emergency department visit notes
• Laboratory results (blood tests, for example)
• Pathology results (such as biopsies)
• Radiology results

I have found a third-party application (app) that I would like to use to capture some of my health information and would also like to have this app connect with my MyChart account. Can I do this?

If you have found a third-party healthcare application (such as 1upHealth, MyFHR, MyLinks, etc) with which you would like to connect/link to your MyChart account so that you can capture or share some of your personal health information, you will need to sign-up for that app and then go through their process to connect your health data. Connecting to your health data typically involves searching for Virtua Health, then being redirected to the MyChart login-in screen for authentication. Once you have logged into your MyChart account through that application, you will need to allow it access to your health data in MyChart. If you have any issues with the connection setup, contact that app vendor.
