UW Health MyChart Madison WI: Login & Patient Portal Guide

Official UW Health MyChart Login and Safe Path

The official login page may show a cookies or JavaScript warning. Use a current browser and allow cookies for the official MyChart domain before signing in.

Madison tip: verify the exact building

UW Health has multiple Madison locations. Your appointment may be at University Hospital, American Family Children’s Hospital, East Madison Hospital, Eastpark Medical Center or a clinic.

Madison tip: do not trust the map pin alone

University Hospital is on a large campus. Use your appointment reminder or MyChart visit details for parking, entrance, clinic, floor and arrival instructions.

Support tip: separate billing from MyChart login

Use MyChart Technical Support for account access. Use billing numbers when the issue is a balance, insurance, payment plan, pharmacy bill or statement.

How to Sign Up for UW Health MyChart

UW Health gives adults age 18 and older more than one way to activate MyChart. You can use online activation, request an activation code by mail, use an activation code from an After Visit Summary or After Hospital Care Plan, or request a code from your clinic or health plan.

Choose the correct sign-up route

Use Instant Activation if you can answer secure identity-validation questions. Choose the U.S. mail option if you need an activation code mailed to your home.

Use a code from your visit if you have one

If you had a clinic visit or hospital stay, your After Visit Summary or After Hospital Care Plan may include a MyChart activation code.

Complete private identity steps only on the official portal

The sign-up page may ask for personal information, contact verification, identity verification and username/password creation. Do those steps only on mychart.uwhealth.org.

Know what happens if verification fails

If your information does not match, UW Health may contact you for clarification by email, or your request may be sent to the clinic so an activation code can be mailed or emailed within a week.

Call if you do not receive your code

If you have sign-up questions or do not receive an activation code, call 1-877-768-0732.

Sign-up safety: UW Health’s sign-up page says email may not be absolutely private and that health information is not sent to the sign-up email during clarification. Do not send private health details through unofficial emails, forms or comments.

Forgot Password, Username, Access Code or Verification Code?

Use the official “Forgot login information?” route on the login page. UW Health says self-service password reset works in most cases; if it does not, the portal shows a toll-free number for phone reset help.

Forgot password

Open the official login page and use the Forgot login information link. Do not trust reset links from unknown messages or social-media support accounts.

Activation code not working

Activation codes are only for first-time setup. UW Health says unused codes expire after 27 days, and the code becomes invalid after activation.

Two-step verification

UW Health requires a code sent by email or text to log in. Keep your phone number and email account secure because short-lived login links or codes may be sent there.

Notification or code not received

Verify your email address in MyChart Communication Preferences.
Check spam or junk folders.
Add UW Health MyChart notification senders to your contact list.
Review your phone number and email in Personal Information.
Call 1-877-768-0732 if verification still fails.

Idle logout rule

UW Health says MyChart automatically logs out after more than 15 minutes of keyboard inactivity.
This protects health information on shared or unattended devices.
Save work before leaving the screen.
Sign out fully on public or shared computers.

Recovery warning: never give a verification code, activation code, password, reset link or secure-login link to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. Use official UW Health pages and the official support number.

Choose your issue and device. No private account, health or billing information is requested.

UW Health MyChart Mobile App and Browser Setup

You can use UW Health MyChart from a browser or the official MyChart mobile app. The app is made by Epic, but you still need to access the correct UW Health organization and use your UW Health MyChart account.

Install official MyChart only

Use Apple App Store or Google Play. Do not install patient portal APK files, mirror apps or unofficial login apps from third-party download sites.

Apple devices

The App Store listing says MyChart can help with test results, appointments, medications, bills, care-team communication and record sharing when enabled by your organization.

Faster secure login

UW Health’s FAQ says mobile access may support face ID or fingerprint login. Use these only on your own private device.

App tip: if a linked-records message, provider message, billing detail, proxy form or record request is not visible in the app, try the official UW Health MyChart website in an updated browser.

What You Can Do in UW Health MyChart

UW Health’s MyChart FAQ says the portal can include medical record information, health benefit information, lab results, appointment reminders, billing statements, preventive-care reminders and other messages. Exact access can vary by patient age, proxy status, clinic service and connected organization.

Test Results, Medical Record Details and Notifications

UW Health’s FAQ says final results are shared to MyChart as soon as they are final. This means you might see a result before your health care provider sees it, and some results may be hard to understand without context.

Read results carefully

UW Health says every result is reviewed and the care team will contact you about anything concerning. You can follow up with your provider if you have questions.

Notification timing

To give your provider time to review the result, UW Health says email or mobile notification is sent only if you have not viewed the result after 2 business days.

Incorrect information

Your MyChart information comes directly from your personal record. Report missing or incorrect information to clinic staff at your next appointment.

Complete record tip: UW Health’s FAQ says MyChart does not display all medical-record information and does not have access to every clinic service. For a complete copy, use the official medical records process.

UW Health MyChart Billing, Guest Pay and Insurance Help

UW Health MyChart lets patients receive and pay current bills online and view payment history. If you want saved payment methods, payment plans or detailed payment history, sign in to MyChart. If you do not want to sign in, use official Pay as Guest.

Pay as Guest

Guest pay lets you pay without logging in. The guest-pay page explains that a visit account groups charges for billing and usually represents one visit’s billing activity.

Sign in for more billing tools

If you want to save a credit card or bank account, learn more about your bill, sign up for a payment plan or review payment history, sign in to MyChart.

UW Health MyChart can show appointment reminders, visit summaries, after hospital care plans and appointment details. The FAQ says you may also schedule primary care appointments online and send secure messages to your clinic.

Manage appointments

Use MyChart to schedule a next appointment when available or view details of past and upcoming appointments.

Message monitoring hours

UW Health says MyChart messages are monitored Monday-Friday, 8 AM-4 PM on non-holidays. Message response times are not guaranteed.

Use phone for urgent needs

UW Health says to call your clinic for urgent or timely questions. MyChart should not be used for emergencies or urgent needs.

Emergency warning: do not use MyChart messages for urgent symptoms or emergencies. Call your clinic for urgent questions, and use emergency services for emergency situations.

UW Health Video Visits, MyChart E-Visits and Care Anywhere

UW Health offers several remote-care paths. Choose the correct one: scheduled video visits for planned care, MyChart e-visits for selected symptom questionnaires, and UW Health Care Anywhere for 24/7 urgent-care video visits without an appointment.

Scheduled video visits

UW Health says MyChart video visits let patients meet with their care team using a smartphone, tablet or computer with a webcam.

MyChart e-visit

For an e-visit, log in to MyChart, search for “E-Visits,” choose a symptom, answer questions and include treatments or medications already tried.

Care Anywhere

UW Health Care Anywhere provides urgent-care video visits 24/7 for non-emergency care, with no appointment needed.

Telehealth tip: use a device with a reliable internet connection, camera and microphone. Use in-person urgent care or emergency services when symptoms are severe, sudden or unsafe for virtual care.

Prescription Refills, Transfers and Pharmacy Questions

The UW Health MyChart login page lists prescription refill requests and prescription transfer actions. Refill access depends on whether the medication is refillable, who manages it and whether provider review is needed.

Before requesting a refill

Log in to official UW Health MyChart.
Open Medications or refill request tools.
Confirm the medication is refillable.
Check pharmacy details before submitting.
Do not wait until the last dose if provider review may be needed.

Ask a pharmacist wisely

UW Health says pharmacists are available to answer medication questions.
Contact your doctor for diagnosis or ongoing-treatment concerns.
A pharmacist may send your question to your PCP or another provider when appropriate.
Call or use urgent care instructions for urgent medication concerns.

Family, Child, Teen and Adult Proxy Access

UW Health’s FAQ says access to another person’s MyChart account is strictly controlled and only granted with proper authorization and consent. Use official proxy access instead of password sharing.

Children under 18

Log in to MyChart, select Other Accounts from the main menu, and choose the relationship that applies. Requests are reviewed by medical records and are usually granted within 2 business days.

Teen access ages 12-17

With parent or guardian approval, teens 12-17 may have their own MyChart access. The request starts from the parent/guardian proxy account and is reviewed in 3-5 business days.

Adult-to-adult access

Adults may share access by selecting Share my record from the main menu, choosing Invite someone, and sending a proxy invitation to the other adult.

Proxy-only adults and legal authority

Proxy-only access for adults uses a form available in MyChart.
The form requires signatures from both patient and proxy.
Power of Attorney for Health Care and court-appointed guardian requests use forms in MyChart.
Use Other Accounts from the main menu to find the correct proxy form.

Important proxy mistake to avoid

Do not ask questions about another person from your own account.
Messages you send become part of your personal medical record.
Use the other person’s proxy account view when managing their care.
Do not complete one teen request form for multiple children.

MyChartCentral, Lucy and Linked Records

UW Health’s FAQ says patients with care from multiple organizations may have multiple MyChart accounts. MyChartCentral can connect multiple accounts, while Lucy helps view, enter and manage personal health information.

When linked records help

You receive care from more than one health organization.
You want a combined view of visits, medications, allergies or results when allowed.
You have an active account at the linked organization.
The linked organization allows the type of information you want to see.

If linked information is missing

The information may not be documented at the linked organization.
The linked organization may not release that information.
You may have selected a filter that hides some test results.
Messages to linked organizations may require a web browser, not the mobile app.

Formal UW Health Medical Records Requests

MyChart is convenient, but it does not show the entire medical record. Use the official UW Health medical records page when you need a formal copy, records sent to another party, special documentation, records not visible in MyChart, or release-of-information help.

Record need	Official route	Helpful detail
Medical records page	UW Health medical records	Use this page for records release, forms and formal copy instructions.
Mail request	UW Health – Release of Information, 8501 Excelsior Dr, Madison, WI 53717	Use official authorization forms and include only required information.
Fax request	(608) 262-6663	Use when the official records process allows fax submission.
Email support	hisreleasemedicalinf@uwhealth.org	Use for official records help. Do not send unnecessary private health details by email.
Records not in MyChart	Call clinic or use medical records process	The FAQ says services and tests outside connected organizations may not appear in this MyChart instance.

Records safety: send records requests only through UW Health’s official medical records process. Do not upload medical records, result screenshots or release forms to random websites.

Important: UW Health Madison WI vs UW Medicine Washington

“UW MyChart” can be confusing. This page is for UW Health in Wisconsin and Illinois, including Madison, Wisconsin. It is not the University of Washington’s UW Medicine MyChart in Seattle.

Use this page for UW Health

Use this guide if your care was through UW Health Wisconsin/Illinois, UW Health Madison, Access Community Health Centers Madison, Physicians for Women, or Quartz branded health plans.

Use a different portal for UW Medicine

UW Medicine is the University of Washington health system and uses a different MyChart portal, support number and medical records process.

Check the organization name

If a bill, visit, result or message is missing, confirm the exact organization. UW Health linked records may not show everything from another portal.

UW Health University Hospital Madison Map and Directions

Use this map for broad orientation only. University Hospital is on a large Madison campus, so your MyChart visit details or appointment reminder are still the best source for exact building, entrance, parking, clinic, floor and arrival time.

Helpful MyChart Video Note

A general MyChart video can help with navigation concepts, but a current UW Health Madison-specific official MyChart tutorial with a safely verified public upload date was not confirmed during this build. For that reason, this article uses official UW Health text pages and does not include VideoObject schema.

Best visual help path

For video-care help, use UW Health’s scheduled video visit, MyChart e-visit and Care Anywhere pages linked in this article. For login, billing, records and proxy access, follow the official UW Health MyChart pages because those instructions can change.
