00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:04.160
 You might have heard about MyChart from your health care provider.

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.140
 MyChart is a great way for you to see information about your medical care and communicate with your care team.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.940
 I'll show you how easy it is to sign up for a MyChart account.

00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:23.120
 You'll see how to do this on a mobile device, but the steps are similar from your computer.

00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:31.520
 Chances are you'll be granted access by your health care provider before, during, or after an appointment.

00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:36.600
 However, you could create an account on your own on MyChart.org.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.100
 From there, you'll find information about how to establish an account with your health care organization.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:50.600
 You might be able to create an account right away, or you might need to request approval, depending on their policy.

00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:58.580
 Let's say you do get an email from your provider after an appointment with a link to sign up for MyChart.

00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:08.200
 Simply open the link, and you're taken right to the sign-up page to confirm your identity, typically by entering your birth date.

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:19.300
 Now that MyChart knows that you're you, you can choose to create a MyChart Central account.

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:28.940
 When you have MyChart accounts at all the places you get care, MyChart lets you use a single login to see them all in one spot.

00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:35.200
 This will take a few extra steps right now, but we'll make logging in faster next time.

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.340
 Click here to set up your MyChart Central account.

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:44.520
 Then, review and agree to the terms and conditions of using MyChart Central.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:54.780
 Associate your mobile number with your account using a verification code MyChart sends to

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.120
 your phone.

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.160
 When you get the code on your phone, enter it here.

00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:10.660
 Now follow similar steps to associate your email with your account.

00:02:10.660 --> 00:02:14.480
 The email address you verify will be your username.

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:17.040
 Here, set up your MyChart central password.

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:23.780
 To keep MyChart accounts in sync

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:26.520
 across all the places you get care,

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.100
 keep this checkbox selected.

00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:31.800
 This way, if you change important information

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.680
 like a mailing address,

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.440
 all your accounts automatically get the update.

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:40.440
 Now, you can see information from the healthcare provider

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:42.520
 who sent you the activation email.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:47.980
 You already reviewed and accepted MyChart Central's terms and conditions,

00:02:47.980 --> 00:02:52.960
 but your health care provider might require you to review and accept theirs too.

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.880
 Because it's your first time accessing your account,

00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:01.740
 there's a short video and tutorial for you to watch, if you'd like.

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:03.700
 I'll choose to skip it for now.

00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:09.180
 And with that, your brand new MyChart account appears.

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:12.440
 The main view of MyChart is your health feed,

00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:17.420
 which shows the most important alerts and information

00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:18.940
 for your care.

00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:22.120
 There are lots of great features in MyChart.

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.260
