This feature provides real-time availability, allowing you to find appointment times that fit your schedule without the need for phone calls.
Secure Messaging with Your Care Team

This convenient feature is perfect for non-urgent questions, follow-ups, and receiving guidance from your medical team, all within a secure and confidential environment.
Access Your Lab Results
No more waiting for mail or phone calls to get your lab results. MyChart provides quick and easy access to your lab results as soon as they are available. Understanding your health data is crucial, and MyChart empowers you with timely access to this important information.
Online Bill Payment
Simplify your medical billing with MyChart’s online bill payment feature. You can securely pay your bills using e-checks or credit cards directly through the portal. This feature offers a paperless and efficient way to manage your healthcare finances.
Wait List Options for Appointments
Need to see your doctor sooner? MyChart’s waitlist feature allows you to get on a waiting list for earlier appointment times. If an earlier slot becomes available, you’ll be notified, helping you get the care you need when you need it.
Early Check-In
Save time at the clinic with MyChart’s early check-in option. Complete necessary forms and pay your co-pay online before your appointment. This streamlined process reduces wait times and makes your in-office experience smoother and more efficient.
Share Your Medical Records
Need to share your medical history with specialists or other healthcare providers? MyChart enables you to securely share your medical records with different doctors and health systems. This feature ensures seamless coordination of your care across different healthcare settings.
Manage Family Health
MyChart also allows you to manage the health of your family members. With proper authorization, you can access and manage the MyChart accounts of your children and other dependents, making it easier to oversee your family’s healthcare needs in one central location.
3rd Party App Connectivity
For enhanced health management, MyChart allows you to connect with various third-party applications. This integration enables you to retrieve portions of your health records for personal use within your preferred health and wellness apps, further empowering you to manage your health data.
Text Message Appointment Management
Stay connected and manage your appointments on the go with MyChart’s two-way texting feature. Confirm, cancel, and even reschedule appointments in real-time via text messages. You can also accept appointment offers from waitlists and receive important health reminders directly to your phone.
eCheck-In for Efficiency
Maximize efficiency at your appointments using eCheck-in. Prior to your visit, use eCheck-in to fill out forms, sign documents, and handle co-pays online. This feature significantly reduces in-office paperwork and wait times, streamlining your appointment process.
Appointment Arrival for In-Office Visits
For in-person appointments, the Appointment Arrival feature within the MyChart smartphone app simplifies check-in. Upon arrival at your doctor’s office, the app automatically prompts you to check-in, eliminating the need to visit the front desk. This feature enhances convenience and reduces contact in waiting areas.
Video Visits for Remote Care
Access healthcare from the comfort of your home with MyChart video visits. These scheduled virtual appointments with John Muir Health providers offer a convenient way to address many health concerns, including follow-up care and new symptoms, using secure video conferencing technology.
Setting Up Your MyChart John Muir Account
Getting started with MyChart John Muir is straightforward. Whether you are a new user or transitioning from a previous John Muir Health patient portal, the setup process is designed to be user-friendly.
For New Users
If you are new to MyChart, activating your account is simple. If you’ve had a MyJohnMuirHealth account before, you can use your existing username and password to log in to MyChart through the website or the mobile app. New users can sign up using an activation code provided by their doctor’s office or through the MyChart self-registration portal online.
Family Access (Children 0-11)
Parents and caregivers can easily manage the healthcare of young children (ages 0-11) through MyChart. By requesting proxy access, parents can gain access to their child’s MyChart account. This can be initiated through the John Muir Health website, requiring a login to your own MyChart account and completion of an online request form. Once processed, parents receive notification within 7-10 business days, granting them access to manage their child’s health information.
Teen Accounts (Ages 12-17)
For teenagers aged 12-17, MyChart offers the same level of access as adult accounts, respecting California’s adolescent privacy laws. Teens can independently manage their appointments, communicate with doctors, and view test results. Activation codes for teen accounts can be obtained from their doctor’s office or are printed on After Visit Summaries. It’s important to note that these codes are for the teen’s exclusive use, ensuring their privacy and control over their health information. While parents can have limited proxy access for teens, certain information like medications and detailed visit summaries remain private to the teen, aligning with California state regulations.
