Your Medical Record
When can I see my test results in MyChart?
With MyChart, you can view most test results as soon as they become available. Know that you will likely see results before your healthcare provider has had a chance to review them. After your provider reviews your results, you might see additional comments and interpretation in MyChart.
If I send a message to my provider, when can I expect a reply?
You will generally receive a response within 1-3 business days. Note that MyChart messages should not be used for urgent situations. Please call your provider's office if the situation requires immediate attention or dial 911 if it is an emergency.
What should I do if some of MyChart information is incorrect?
Your MyChart information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your provider's office. Ask your provider to correct any inaccurate information at your next clinic visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record after each visit.
