OhioHealth MyChart: Login & Patient Portal Guide
OhioHealth MyChart is the secure patient portal for OhioHealth patients to view test results, message doctors, request prescription refills, manage appointments, access records, pay bills, set up payment plans and prepare for telehealth visits.
This guide gives you the official links, phone numbers, sign-up steps, app help, billing workflow, medical records help, proxy access rules, telehealth instructions, map and safety warnings without asking for private patient information.
Quick answer: use the official OhioHealth MyChart login page or the OhioHealth mobile app. Use official sign-up if you need a new account, account recovery if you forgot login details, Pay as Guest or MyChart Billing for payments, and OhioHealth support if your phone, email, activation, verification, browser or app access does not work.
Important privacy warning: this article is an independent guide. It cannot log you in, reset your account, view your records, pay your bill, schedule care, process proxy access or join a video visit. Do not enter passwords, activation codes, verification codes, payment details, Social Security details or private medical information on this website.
Official OhioHealth MyChart Login Path
The safest way to sign in is to start from the official OhioHealth MyChart login page. The login screen supports English and Spanish, requires cookies and JavaScript, and includes official options for forgot login information, passkey sign-in, sign-up and Pay as Guest.
Open official login
Use the official OhioHealth MyChart page for test results, appointments, messages, prescription refills, billing and account access.
Check browser basics
If the page warns about cookies or JavaScript, fix the browser first. A login failure may be a browser setting, not an account problem.
Use support if stuck
OhioHealth lists MyChart support at (614) 533-6924 on its contact directory and app support pages.

Medical Records, Requests and Corrections
OhioHealth says patients with OhioHealth MyChart can request electronic medical records through their account, and those requests are usually completed within two business days. Formal record requests can also be submitted online, by email or by mail.
Request through MyChart
Use MyChart if you want a convenient electronic records request connected to your OhioHealth account.
Request online with ID
OhioHealth’s online request route may require a photo ID, and additional documents if you are requesting on behalf of someone else.
Correct a record
If you believe information needs correction, OhioHealth says amendment requests must be in writing, signed and explain the reason.
Records tip: use MyChart for everyday access, but use OhioHealth’s medical-records page for formal copies, third-party releases, amendments, restriction requests and mail/email instructions.
Proxy Access and Family/Caregiver Access
Proxy access lets another approved adult access a patient’s OhioHealth MyChart account. OhioHealth’s medical records page says patients who want to grant proxy access should complete the MyChart authorization proxy access form.
Use the official form
OhioHealth says to complete the proxy form and bring or mail it to your physician’s office if you want another person to have access.
Proxy must use their own account
The OhioHealth proxy form says each person requesting proxy access must have their own OhioHealth MyChart account and must log in with their own user ID and password.
Minor access has special rules
For minors age 14 and older, the minor must also authorize and sign the form. Parent/legal guardian proxy access is automatically changed or revoked when a minor turns 18.
Proxy safety: do not share passwords inside a family. Proxy users should log in from their own OhioHealth MyChart account and verify they are viewing the correct patient record.

Schedule video visits
OhioHealth says patients with an OhioHealth primary care or specialist provider can schedule video visits through OhioHealth MyChart online or in the mobile app.
Complete eCheck-In
On phone or tablet, open the OhioHealth app, sign in to MyChart, select Complete eCheck-In under Visits, then update medical history, medications and insurance.
Join video visit
Select the telehealth appointment under Upcoming Appointments or Visits, tap Join Video and stay in the virtual waiting room until the provider joins.
Telehealth platform and billing
- OhioHealth says video visits use Epic and Zoom.
- Epic is used for all visits except those requiring translation services.
- Zoom is required in those translation-service cases.
- Telehealth visits are billed to insurance like a regular visit.
- You are responsible for copayments or coinsurance required by your plan.
E-Visits and urgent care video
- Use same-day urgent care video visits for minor illness or injury when appropriate.
- OhioHealth says extra virtual urgent care times are available to MyChart users from 9 AM to 9 PM daily.
- Use E-Visits for symptom questions that do not need an answer right away.
- OhioHealth says E-Visit responses come by the next business day.
- Use emergency care for life-threatening symptoms.
Appointments, Test Results, Messages and Refills
The OhioHealth MyChart login page lists four core benefits: communicate with your doctor, access test results, request prescription refills and manage appointments. Use these features for routine care tasks, not emergencies.
Test results
OhioHealth MyChart lets patients view test results and doctor comments within days when available.
Messages
Use secure messages for non-urgent medical questions from the comfort of home.
Refills
Request prescription refills for refillable medications. Do not wait until your final dose for important medications.
Appointments
Schedule the next appointment or view past and upcoming appointment details when available.
Emergency warning: OhioHealth MyChart and proxy forms say MyChart is not to be used to communicate or obtain treatment in an emergency. Call 911 or go to emergency care for urgent or life-threatening symptoms.
OhioHealth Locations, Urgent Care and Care Today
A portal guide should not keep users inside login troubleshooting when they need care today. Use MyChart for portal tasks, but use OhioHealth location, urgent care and emergency care tools when the problem is medical or time-sensitive.
Find a location
Use OhioHealth’s location finder for hospitals, urgent care, physician offices and services near you.
Urgent care times
The OhioHealth app can show urgent care appointment times, and Virtual Health offers same-day urgent care video visits when appropriate.
Emergency care
If symptoms are serious, use emergency care instead of MyChart messages, E-Visits or app support.
