Bronson MyChart is the patient portal for Bronson Healthcare patients in southwest Michigan. It connects patients with appointments, test results, provider messages, medications, billing, proxy access, video visits, eVisits, On Demand visits and selected parts of the electronic medical record.
This guide focuses on practical Bronson-specific details: the correct login page, 60-day activation-code rule, 15-minute inactivity timeout, two-step verification, Michigan minor proxy rules, Bronson’s own mobile app, multiple-account linking, billing phone differences and the right support route when a problem cannot be solved online.
Quick answer: the official Bronson MyChart portal is mychart.bronsonhealth.com. Bronson HealthAnswers provides technical MyChart support at (269) 341-7723 or (800) 451-6310, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern. Bronson also lists answers@bronsonhg.org for email help; messages sent there can be submitted 24/7, with a reply generally the same or next business day.
Keep private information on Bronson’s official portal. MyChart-Health.org is an independent informational website. It is not Bronson Healthcare or Epic. Do not enter your username, password, activation code, one-time security code, Social Security information, medical-record information or payment details into this article.
Make Sure You Are on the Bronson Healthcare Portal
The official login page identifies the organization as Bronson Healthcare Group. It accepts a MyChart username or Epic ID and uses the Bronson Healthcare Group password. The page also links to BronsonHealth.com, Bronson signup, recovery and MyChart help.
Correct web address
Start from mychart.bronsonhealth.com. Bronson’s own help pages, signup form, Guest Pay and proxy resources are hosted under this domain.
Bronson has its own branded mobile app
Unlike health systems that direct everyone to the generic Epic app, Bronson publishes a Bronson MyChart app under Bronson Healthcare Group.
Do not assume another MyChart username belongs to Bronson. Different health systems can use Epic MyChart but still maintain separate accounts and security rules. If you use another portal, Bronson provides an account-linking feature after you sign in.
Which Official Bronson MyChart Route Should You Use?
| Task | Official route | What to prepare | What happens next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign in | Bronson MyChart login | Your Bronson MyChart username or Epic ID and password. | Complete two-step verification if it is enabled. |
| Create an account | Self-signup | Personal details that match Bronson’s record, including identity/contact information requested by the form. | Bronson verifies identity, then lets you create a username and password. |
| Use activation code | Activation page | Your unused activation code. | Create your permanent MyChart ID and password. |
| Forgot login | Account recovery | Access to the email/phone information associated with the account. | Follow the Bronson identity/security prompts. |
| Pay without login | Pay as Guest | Guarantor name and guarantor account number from the statement. | Pay the eligible Bronson balance without opening the full account. |
How to Log In Without Creating a Bigger Account Problem
Open Bronson’s official login page
Confirm the browser address begins with mychart.bronsonhealth.com before entering credentials. Bronson requires cookies and JavaScript for normal portal use.
Enter your Bronson MyChart username or Epic ID
Use the account associated with Bronson Healthcare Group rather than assuming another hospital’s MyChart password will work here.
Enter your Bronson password
Complete two-step verification if you enabled it or Bronson requires it for your login session.
If credentials fail, use recovery
Use the official forgot-password/login-information route rather than repeatedly guessing. If your account becomes locked, Bronson HealthAnswers can reactivate it.
Expect automatic logout after inactivity
Bronson says MyChart automatically logs out when the keyboard or mouse has not been used for 15 minutes or more.
Bronson MyChart Signup and the 60-Day Activation Rule
Bronson offers several signup paths. You can self-enroll online with or without an activation code, receive an activation link or code before a scheduled visit, be enrolled by office staff, or find an activation code on an After Visit Summary or billing statement.
Self-signup without an activation code
Bronson’s current signup form asks for personal details, then verifies identity using its system and, when applicable, third-party identity-verification questions.
Once verification succeeds, you create your own MyChart username and password.
If Bronson already gave you an activation code
Use the code only once on the official Bronson activation page. It is not your permanent username or password.
Bronson says an activation code must be used within 60 days and expires on day 61 or immediately after it is used.
Code lost or expired? Use self-signup or contact Bronson HealthAnswers at (269) 341-7723 / (800) 451-6310. Bronson also accepts MyChart-support questions at answers@bronsonhg.org.
Personal-account age: Bronson’s current MyChart terms say a patient must be 12 or older to request their own personal MyChart account. Michigan minor-confidentiality rules affect what parents can see after age 12.
Two-Step Verification, Account Security and Deactivation
| Situation | Bronson guidance | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Two-step verification | When enabled, Bronson sends an additional code by email or text. | Keep your MyChart phone number and email account secure and current. |
| Code not received | Check spam/junk, then use Resend Code. | Check other email addresses you use; Bronson may have a different one on file. |
| Secure notification link | Email/text notifications can contain short-lived links that open MyChart securely. | If the message was unexpected, start from Bronson’s official portal instead. |
| 15-minute timeout | Inactive web sessions are automatically logged out. | Sign in again; this does not necessarily mean the account failed. |
| Delete/deactivate account | On the website, use Security Settings → Account Deactivation. | Bronson also allows deactivation by calling HealthAnswers. |
Test Results, Provider Messages and Corrections
Results can appear immediately
Bronson says test results become viewable in MyChart as soon as the result is entered into the medical chart. You may receive a text, email and/or app notification.
You may see the result before the provider
Bronson warns that patients will often see a result before their provider has reviewed it. Provider comments and interpretation may appear later.
Message reply target
Bronson says response times vary, but patients should generally receive a reply within 2 business days.
MyChart messages are not for urgent problems. Bronson says to call the doctor’s office when immediate attention is needed, or dial 911 for an emergency. When the doctor’s office is closed, Bronson Care Advisors are available 24/7 at (269) 341-7788, but Care Advisors do not see MyChart messages.
Correct information that looks wrong
Bronson allows patients to submit updates for medications, allergies and current health issues through MyChart. The provider receives the change request and can confirm it during a later visit. Other medical-record corrections may need to be discussed with the doctor’s office.
For ordinary contact details, open Account Settings → Personal Information. Bronson says you can update information such as home address, email and other supported profile details.
What You Can Do in Bronson MyChart
Bronson’s current FAQ and mobile-app listings support a broad set of patient tasks. Exact availability still depends on the provider, appointment and account.
Appointments
Review past appointments, After Visit Summaries and visit notes, and schedule eligible upcoming visits.
Messages
Send secure, non-urgent messages to participating Bronson care teams.
Prescriptions
Request eligible prescription refills and review current medications.
Results
View most test results and provider comments when available.
eCheck-In
Complete available pre-visit registration steps before an appointment.
Virtual care
Bronson lists video visits, eVisits and On Demand visits among MyChart appointment options.
Billing
Pay eligible bills, review payment history and access payment-plan options.
Record sharing
Share selected information and link eligible records from other Epic organizations.
Link Another Epic MyChart Account to Bronson
If you have received care at another organization using Epic, Bronson says linked information can appear together in MyChart.
Sign in to Bronson MyChart
Start from Bronson’s official portal rather than another provider’s account.
Open the MyChart Menu
Scroll to Link my Accounts.
Search for another healthcare organization
Choose an organization where you already have a MyChart account.
Follow the account-linking authorization
Linked information can display together, but each health system still controls its own record, credentials and feature availability.
Bronson Proxy Access: Michigan Child, Teen and Adult Rules
Proxy access is the approved way for a parent, guardian, spouse, caregiver or other authorized person to view another patient’s MyChart information through their own account.
| Patient | Bronson rule | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Under age 12 | Parent/legal guardian access can be granted through the child’s doctor’s office. | Automatic parent/guardian access stops when the child turns 12. |
| Age 12–17 | The patient must give permission for a parent/guardian to continue proxy access. | Michigan confidentiality rules protect certain services for minors. |
| Age 18+ | The adult patient can grant another MyChart user access using Share My Record or a Proxy Consent Form. | The person serving as proxy must be at least 18. |
Do not use your own chart to ask about another person. Bronson specifically tells proxies to switch into the other patient’s record before sending a message. That helps keep the communication in the correct medical record.
Spouses should not share one username. Bronson says each adult needs their own MyChart account. Use Friends and Family Access, Share My Record or the formal Proxy Consent Form instead.
Bronson MyChart Mobile App
Bronson publishes a dedicated Bronson MyChart mobile app rather than requiring patients to search only for the generic Epic application.
iPhone and iPad
Apple’s current listing identifies the developer as BRONSON HEALTH CARE GROUP, INC.. The app supports iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch and lists English and Spanish.
Android
Google Play identifies the developer as Bronson Healthcare Group. The current listing was updated in April 2026.
Mobile login
Bronson says Face ID or fingerprint login can be used on supported mobile devices.
Appointment Arrival
The Android listing says Bronson’s Appointment Arrival feature can use background location to help check you in for a scheduled visit.
Apple Health
The App Store listing says eligible patients in self-tracking programs can upload health and fitness data, including information from Apple Health.
Bronson Video Visits: Prepare Before Appointment Time
Bronson MyChart supports video visits, eVisits and On Demand visits. Bronson still publishes step-by-step video-visit instructions, but video technology can change, so the instructions attached to your current appointment should take priority.
Confirm your MyChart login works before the visit
Do not wait until the scheduled start time to discover that the password or verification method no longer works.
Open the scheduled visit in MyChart
Bronson’s published instructions direct patients to the Visits/Appointments area.
Complete eCheck-In
Bronson’s instructions state that eCheck-In must be completed before beginning the video visit. Finish required consent and submit the check-in.
Use Begin Video Visit when it becomes available
Bronson’s current hosted instructions say patients may connect up to 30 minutes before the appointment in supported workflows.
Use your current appointment instructions. Some older Bronson PDFs refer to Zoom setup. Because telehealth platforms can change, the current MyChart appointment screen and Bronson care-team instructions should override older screenshots or archived setup sheets.
Bronson MyChart Billing: Match the Bill Before You Call
Not every bill carrying a Bronson connection uses the same billing office. The current MyChart help page lists separate contacts for several billing entities.
Pay through MyChart
Sign in when you want saved payment methods, payment history, more bill detail or payment-plan options.
Pay without logging in
Bronson Guest Pay asks for the guarantor name and guarantor account number shown on your statement.
| Bill / organization | Phone | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Bronson Healthcare Group |
(269) 341-6117 (800) 699-6117 |
Standard Bronson Patient Accounting; current hours listed as Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Eastern. |
| Family Health Center | (269) 349-2641 | Check the bill header before calling Bronson Patient Accounting. |
| WMed Clinics | (269) 337-4460 | Use the WMed billing route when the statement identifies WMed Clinics. |
| Bronson at Home | (269) 245-8260 | Home-service statements may not use the standard hospital billing number. |
| Kalamazoo College Student Health Center | (269) 337-7200 | Use only when that entity appears on the bill. |
| Nephrology Center of Kalamazoo | (269) 349-8972 | Separate billing contact listed by Bronson MyChart Help. |
Before paying from a text or email: compare the organization name and guarantor information with the statement. When in doubt, start from Bronson’s official MyChart login or Guest Pay instead of using an unfamiliar payment link.

Bronson MyChart Covers a Regional Southwest Michigan System
Bronson serves multiple southwest Michigan communities. Do not assume every MyChart appointment is at the flagship hospital in Kalamazoo.
Bronson Methodist Hospital
601 John St.Kalamazoo, MI 49007
This is Bronson’s flagship Kalamazoo hospital address and the address shown for the Bronson MyChart app developer.
Bronson Battle Creek Hospital
300 North Ave.Battle Creek, MI 49017
Bronson’s scheduling systems also use this campus for services such as mammography and other hospital care.
Bronson LakeView Hospital area
408 Hazen St.Paw Paw, MI 49079
Bronson’s regional system also serves Paw Paw and surrounding Van Buren County communities.
Bronson also serves South Haven and many outpatient locations. The address shown in MyChart for your specific appointment should take priority over a general hospital address.
Map is provided for orientation to Bronson Methodist Hospital only. Check your current MyChart appointment details before traveling.
Official MyChart Two-Step Verification Video
Bronson’s own MyChart FAQ links patients to this Epic-hosted tutorial when explaining two-step verification. That makes it a stronger source than an unrelated patient-made walkthrough.
Source: Epic-hosted tutorial linked directly from Bronson’s official MyChart FAQ. VideoObject schema is intentionally omitted because complete public video metadata such as a verified upload date was not available from the official player.

Why Bronson MyChart Rules Should Not Be Copied From Another Hospital
Epic provides the underlying MyChart technology, but health systems configure their own account rules, proxy ages, message expectations, billing contacts, apps and virtual-care workflows.
Our SSM MyChart patient portal guide provides another example of a health system using Epic tools with its own provider-specific access and virtual-care rules. Use comparisons only for context; Bronson’s official instructions should control your Bronson account.
