MyChart Proxy Access FAQs

Can I access an adult family member’s health record in MyChart?
Yes. An adult may grant another person full proxy access by completing the MyChart Adult Proxy Form. The adult patient must provide authorization or applicable documentation.
Can I access the MyChart record of an adolescent with diminished capacity?
Yes. Full proxy access may be granted with provider approval and signature, as applicable.
Do I need my own MyChart account?
Yes. Proxy users must access a patient’s record through their own MyChart account. You do not need to be a UI Health patient to have a MyChart account for proxy access. Once proxy access is granted, the patient’s MyChart account will be linked to your account, allowing you to securely access their record.
Important: You should not log in using the patient’s MyChart username or password. You will access the patient’s record by logging in to your own MyChart account after proxy access has been granted.
Can I send messages on behalf of a family member?
Yes, if you have proxy access. To ensure the message is documented in the correct medical record, first access the family member’s MyChart record and send the message from their record.
Can my spouse and I share one MyChart account?
No. Each patient must have their own MyChart account. Spouses may request proxy access to each other’s records and use their own accounts to access the other person’s record.
Who can I contact if I have questions about MyChart proxy access?
For questions about MyChart proxy access, including eligibility or access limitations, please contact the Privacy Office at 312.355.5650 or privacyoffice@uic.edu.
