Wrong Penn Medicine Portal Warning

How to Sign Up for MyChart by myPennMedicine

The official sign-up page gives three main routes: existing account recovery, activation code signup, or new/prospective patient signup. Lancaster General Health patients should use MyLGHealth instead.

Open the official sign-up page

Use only the official Penn Medicine MyChart sign-up page. This page may ask for sensitive identity information, so do not copy that information into third-party websites.

Use an activation code if you have one

Activation codes may appear at the bottom of a billing statement, an After Visit Summary, or a recent email or text invitation.

Use online signup when you do not have a code

The official page says existing Penn Medicine patients without an activation code, prospective patients, and people accepting a proxy invitation can use the sign-up form.

Call if the activation code does not arrive

The sign-up page says users may receive an activation code by mail or email within a week and should call customer service if they have questions or do not receive it.

Sign-up privacy note: the official sign-up page may request identity fields such as name, date of birth, legal sex, Social Security number, email and phone. Enter those only on the official secure.mypennmedicine.org page, never here.

Test Results, Notes, Health Records and Share Everywhere

MyChart by myPennMedicine lets patients access results when they become available. Penn’s FAQ warns that some results may be difficult to understand or may appear before your provider has reviewed and discussed them.

Test results

Use MyChart to see test results online, view past results individually and graph progress when the feature is available.

After-visit notes

Read outpatient visit notes and instructions shared by your care team. Notes may help you follow medication or condition-management instructions.

Share Everywhere

Penn’s health-information page says Share Everywhere lets you give providers one-time, limited access to portal information such as medications, allergies, immunizations and other health issues.

Result-reading tip: do not make major care decisions from one result or screenshot. If a result is confusing or missing, use your provider’s official contact route. Penn’s FAQ says patients with COVID-19 result questions can call 833-983-1350.

Appointments, Lab Scheduling, eCheck-In and Waitlist

Penn’s MyChart feature page says users can schedule visits or lab appointments, complete some check-in steps online, verify address, allergies and current medications, and join an electronic waitlist for earlier appointment notifications.

Schedule a visit or lab test

Log in to MyChart for scheduling options that are available for your care situation, provider relationship or lab order.

Complete check-in steps

Use online check-in when offered to verify address, allergies and medications before the visit.

Join the waitlist when available

If MyChart offers a waitlist, you can be notified when an earlier appointment becomes available.

Messages: What to Send and What Not to Send

Penn’s feature page says patients can send non-urgent messages to the care team and get a response within two business days. MyChart messages are not for urgent or emergency symptoms.

Good uses for MyChart messages

  • Ask a non-urgent question about recent care.
  • Clarify routine follow-up instructions.
  • Request referrals when the portal route is available.
  • Ask about prescription renewals when out of pharmacy refills.
  • Send secure billing questions from the billing area.

Do not use messages for

  • Chest pain or trouble breathing.
  • Stroke symptoms or sudden weakness.
  • Severe allergic reaction.
  • Serious injury or heavy bleeding.
  • Any condition needing 911 or emergency care.

Penn Medicine Billing, Pay as Guest and Financial Help

Penn’s patient billing page says registered portal users can log in to MyChart by myPennMedicine or MyLGHealth to pay, and patients can also pay as a guest without a portal account. Billing phone numbers vary by region.

Pay through MyChart

Use MyChart by myPennMedicine if you want to pay from your account, review payment history, see statements and send secure customer-service billing messages.

Pay as Guest

The official guest-pay page explains that the guarantor is the person responsible for the bill, and the guarantor name and account number are on your statement.

Call the correct billing line

Use 800-406-1177 for Penn Medicine Philadelphia locations and Chester County Hospital, 609-620-8300 for Princeton, and LGH numbers for Lancaster General Health.

Payment safety: do not pay from unknown text links, social comments, search ads, popups or copied payment pages. Start from Penn Medicine’s official billing page, MyChart login or Pay as Guest page.

Proxy and Family Access

Penn’s FAQ says proxy access must be set up at your or your family member’s doctor’s office. Adult patients can also grant proxy access to another person with a registered MyChart by myPennMedicine account.

Newborn proxy access

Both parents listed on the birth certificate may receive full proxy access after consent forms are signed. Each baby requires a separate consent form.

Child and adolescent access

Full proxy access can be granted for children under 14. For ages 14-17, full adolescent access requires the adolescent patient’s consent and can be revoked by the patient.

Adult proxy access

Adult patients can grant another adult proxy access at their request. The patient can revoke access at any time.

Family access safety: use proxy access instead of sharing passwords. Shared passwords can expose private records, billing details and messages that should remain under the correct patient account.

Telehealth Video Visits Through MyChart by myPennMedicine

Penn’s Epic video visit instructions say the visit link is sent three days before the appointment and again one day before by text and email. The link sends you to MyChart by myPennMedicine; Penn says you do not need an account, but an account is encouraged for the best virtual experience.

Open your video visit link

Use the official link sent by Penn Medicine three days before and one day before the appointment. Confirm it takes you to the MyChart by myPennMedicine visit.

Complete Pre Check-in

Penn says Pre Check-in is required and must be completed at least 15 minutes before the telehealth appointment.

Verify visit information

During Pre Check-in, you may verify personal, insurance and health information, sign consent forms, pay outstanding balances, and pay a copay if needed.

Join the video visit

After Pre Check-in, click Join Video Visit in appointment details. The join link becomes active 15 minutes before the appointment time.

Allow camera and microphone

Your device browser may ask for camera and microphone access. Click Allow so the provider can see and hear you.

Emergency warning: telehealth and MyChart messages are not for emergencies. If symptoms are severe, sudden or life-threatening, call 911 or go to an emergency department.

Medical Records, Health Information Access and Doylestown Records

Penn Medicine says patients can access much of their health information securely and for free through the patient portal. Patients can also download a PDF copy for themselves or to provide to other providers. Records sent to someone else require the authorization form process.

Use MyChart first

For many records, log in to MyChart by myPennMedicine and use the portal health information tools before requesting formal copies.

Use authorization forms when needed

If you want records sent to another health care provider or someone other than yourself, Penn says you must submit the authorization form.

Doylestown transition

After July 1, 2026, Doylestown Health medical records can be accessed in MyChart by myPennMedicine. Older portal records have separate support routes.

Use appointment details first

Large Penn Medicine campuses can include hospital buildings, outpatient centers, garages, labs and specialty offices. MyChart appointment details are more specific than a map pin.

Check parking before HUP visits

Penn’s HUP page points visitors to parking-space and garage-rate information. Check before leaving for appointments in University City.

Watch Penn Presbyterian construction routing

Penn Presbyterian’s page warns of traffic impact near the hospital and directs visitors to use Filbert Street for the main entrance and parking garage.
