You can sign up for MyChart online or using our digital app. All VCU Health patients are issued an access code and you will receive that code either in a letter from your clinic or by email after your most recent appointment. You will use this code to register and set up your MyChart account. Don't have an access code? Sign up now by answering a few questions to verify your identity. Tappahannock patients can use their Riverside MyChart username and password to access their VCU Health MyChart account.

"Proxy Access" allows you to give someone else access to your MyChart account or allows you to manage someone else's MyChart. This is common for parents/guardians who needs to manage their child's MyChart account or if you need access to an adult relative's records. Learn more about "Proxy Access."

Teens ages 13 - 17 can have their own MyChart account using their OWN personal cell phone number or personal email address. Parents/guardians cannot create an account on behalf of their child. Teens can choose to grant their parent/guardian full access, messaging only access or no access at all. The teen’s provider will educate them on how to grant their parent/guardian access. If your teen has significantly diminished capacity and you need to have full access, your teen's chart will be reviewed by a medical team to determine if full access is needed. If approved, the parent/guardian will be given full proxy access. Learn more about MyChart access for teens and their proxies.
With the ability to track all health care appointments across VCU Health providers, MyChart provides an efficient solution to manage preventive care such as annual wellness appointments or physical exams, immunizations such as flu shots and specialty appointments for any health need. If a sooner appointment becomes available, the patient will be electronically notified and may choose to accept the new appointment by logging into their MyChart account. The existing appointment will not be cancelled or changed without the patient’s acceptance.
Do you need an easy way to track your medications, removing those you no longer need, and adding new medicines? Using MyChart, you can also quickly request refills or message healthcare providers with medication questions. With powerful communication capabilities, you can add comments about your new medications and MyChart will notify you when medications are ready for pick up at the pharmacy of your choice.
One of the benefits of MyChart includes the ability to request medical records – easily online. When your requested records are available, you can download them to save on your digital device or print, if necessary.
With 24/7 access to billing information, you will be able to quickly view and print your billing statements – and receive notifications when new statements are ready to view and payments are due.
