Action guideSteps, map, phone, billing and records help.

Quick answer: use the official MyChart by myPennMedicine login page to sign in, the official sign-up or activation page if you need access, the official forgot-login route if access fails, and Penn Medicine’s official billing page for bill pay or guest pay. This article explains the details, but secure actions must happen only on official Penn Medicine or MyChart by myPennMedicine pages.

Important privacy warning: this page does not process logins, payments, activation details, medical messages, telehealth visits, prescription requests, records, appointments or identity verification. Do not enter passwords, verification codes, billing information, Social Security information or private health information on this website.

Official MyChart by myPennMedicine Login

The safest path is direct: open Penn Medicine’s official MyChart by myPennMedicine login page, confirm you are on the secure myPennMedicine domain, then sign in there only. Do not use copied login boxes, social comments, popup forms or “support” chats that ask for credentials.

Open official login

Use MyChart by myPennMedicine for appointments, notes, test results, medications, prescription renewals, messages, record sharing and online bill pay.

Fix browser basics first

The official login page requires JavaScript and cookies. If the page warns about browser settings, fix that first before assuming the account is locked.

Use Penn support

The MyChart by myPennMedicine FAQ lists customer service at 866-614-7606 for activation, two-step verification reset and account access problems.

Official Support Numbers, Address and Local Penn Medicine Tips

Use the right public Penn Medicine contact for the job. A MyChart login issue, bill question, appointment question, medical-record request, telehealth problem and hospital-direction issue are different tasks.

Local tip 1: HUP is not every Penn visit

Penn Medicine includes HUP, Penn Presbyterian, Pennsylvania Hospital, Chester County Hospital, Princeton Health, Doylestown Health and other practices. Use your appointment details for the exact location.

Local tip 2: University City has multiple buildings

A 3400 Spruce Street map pin gets you close to HUP, but appointment instructions tell you the correct entrance, floor, pavilion, parking garage or clinic desk.

Local tip 3: call the correct team

Use MyChart support for access, Billing for statements, Medical Records for copies, the provider office for medical questions and emergency care for severe symptoms.

How to Sign Up for MyChart by myPennMedicine

Penn’s FAQ says patients age 18 and older generally need an activation code to sign up. Patients ages 14-17 must talk to their doctor about creating an account, and the doctor must approve the request.

Start from the official sign-up page

Use the official MyChart by myPennMedicine sign-up page. Do not use copied account forms or enter identity details into third-party guide pages.

Use activation details only on MyChart

Your activation code may appear on an After Visit Summary, billing statement, email, text message invitation or be provided by your doctor’s office. It is used once and is not your username or password.

Respect the 14-17 sign-up rule

For patients ages 14-17, Penn says the process is different. Talk to the doctor at the next appointment about creating a MyChart by myPennMedicine account.

Call if the activation code expires

If the activation code does not work or appears expired, Penn’s FAQ says to call MyChart by myPennMedicine customer service.

Sign-up safety: Penn’s FAQ explains that activation may involve sensitive details such as ZIP code, date of birth and, in some cases, Social Security Number. This guide intentionally does not collect or reproduce those fields. Complete activation only on the official MyChart by myPennMedicine screen.

myPennMedicine App Setup

Penn has its own myPennMedicine app. Use the official app-store listing, not random APK websites or lookalike apps. The app store listings describe access to personal medical records, test results, referrals, medications, refill requests, appointment scheduling and care-team messages.

Download official app

The myPennMedicine app is listed in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Install from those official stores only.

Use MyChart login credentials

Sign in with your MyChart by myPennMedicine account details. Do not create a new account on a fake app or third-party login page.

Use the website when needed

The app is convenient, but records, billing, financial assistance, proxy, communication preferences and telehealth setup may be easier from a trusted web browser.

MyChart Penn Problem Helper

This tool does not collect personal information. Choose the issue and it gives a safe next step with the official route.

Choose your issue and device. No login details, patient details or billing details are requested.

Forgot Username, Password or Two-Step Verification?

Use the official forgot-login or account recovery options on the MyChart by myPennMedicine login page. Do not send screenshots, verification codes, passwords or identity information to anyone claiming they can recover the account for you.

Forgot password

Use the official Forgot Password route. Penn’s FAQ says the system may ask the password reset question you selected when setting up the account.

Forgot username

Use the official Forgot Username route. If you do not have a valid email on file or cannot remember required information, call support.

Two-step verification

Penn’s FAQ says all users are required to have two-step verification. A trusted device can be remembered for up to 180 days, but do not trust public devices.

Security tip: if two-step verification needs to be reset and you cannot sign in, Penn’s FAQ says to call the MyChart by myPennMedicine help desk at 866-614-7606.

Use the Correct Penn Portal: myPennMedicine, MyLGHealth and Doylestown

A common mistake is using the wrong Penn-related portal. Penn Medicine uses multiple portal routes depending on where you received care.

Use MyChart by myPennMedicine for

  • Penn Medicine Philadelphia-area patients.
  • Chester County Hospital patients.
  • Doylestown Health records after July 1, 2026.
  • Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center patients.
  • Participating provider groups that use MyChart by myPennMedicine.

Use MyLGHealth for

  • Lancaster General Health patients.
  • Lancaster General Hospital billing or records routes when directed.
  • Lancaster General Health Physicians portal access.
  • LGH OnDemand where applicable.

Doylestown transition note

Penn Medicine notes that Doylestown Health patients can use MyChart by myPennMedicine starting July 1, 2026. Older Doylestown portal information may have separate read-only or support rules.

What You Can Do in MyChart by myPennMedicine

Penn’s official login page and FAQ describe MyChart by myPennMedicine as a simple, secure way to manage care and access medical information from a personal computer or mobile device.

User need MyChart area What it helps with Practical tip
Appointments Visits / Appointments Schedule, reschedule or cancel a visit or lab test when supported. Use exact appointment details for location, building, floor and arrival time.
Messages Messages Communicate with your care team and review notes. Use messages for non-urgent needs only.
Medical information Test Results / Health Summary Access results, medications, health summaries, notes and other information. Results may appear before your care team has reviewed them.
Prescription renewals Medications Request prescription renewal when you are out of pharmacy refills. Request renewals before you run out and confirm the pharmacy is correct.
Record sharing Share Everywhere / Download PDF Send medical records to other providers or give one-time limited portal access. Formal legal or insurance copies may still need an authorization form.
Billing Billing / Guest Pay Pay bills, pay as guest, review payment history and request assistance. Use official Penn billing routes only.

Messages, Provider Contact and Emergency Limits

Penn Medicine says patients can communicate securely with their doctor’s office through MyChart by myPennMedicine. The practical rule is simple: use MyChart messages for non-urgent care questions, not emergencies.

Good uses for MyChart messages

  • Non-urgent follow-up questions.
  • Prescription renewal questions.
  • Clarifying visit instructions.
  • Questions about a test result after reviewing comments.
  • Administrative questions routed through the correct office.

Do not use messages for

  • Chest pain, trouble breathing or stroke symptoms.
  • Severe dizziness, head injury or vision changes.
  • Medication reactions that feel urgent.
  • New severe symptoms that need same-day care.
  • Another person’s issue from the wrong patient account.

Emergency warning: MyChart is not for emergencies. For severe, dangerous or rapidly worsening symptoms, use emergency services or the urgent instructions from your care team.

Test Results, Notes, Health Summary and Missing Information

Penn’s FAQ says most results from tests taken at a Penn Medicine location are available immediately or shortly after they are finalized. Results may appear before the provider has reviewed and discussed them with you.

Result release timing

Most labs, pathology, radiology, MRI, PET/CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and other finalized results can appear quickly after finalization.

Care-team follow-up

Penn’s FAQ says certain results may be available before your care team contacts you. Contact the ordering provider if you have questions or do not see an expected result.

Not everything is in MyChart

Penn explains that not all electronic health information is available in MyChart. Use the medical-record process when you need a complete copy.

Accuracy tip: MyChart information comes from the electronic medical record at the doctor’s office. Ask your provider to correct inaccurate clinical information during a visit or through the appropriate official channel.

Appointments, Lab Tests and Pre Check-In

MyChart by myPennMedicine can help with scheduling, rescheduling, canceling and preparing for visits. Penn’s FAQ says Pre Check-In is available for many outpatient appointments and can be used up to four days before a scheduled appointment when available.

Manage appointments

Use MyChart to schedule, reschedule or cancel supported visits or lab tests. If the appointment type is not available, call the office or general Penn Medicine line.

Use Pre Check-In

Pre Check-In can include confirming personal information, insurance, medications, allergies, health issues, questionnaires and copays when required.

Know the exceptions

Penn’s FAQ says Pre Check-In is available for many outpatient appointments, but there are exceptions including lab/laboratory visits and radiology.

Arrival tip: Pre Check-In can save time, but it does not replace arriving at the correct Penn Medicine location with enough time for parking, building navigation, security, elevators and front-desk instructions.

Mobile Arrival and Location-Based Check-In

Penn Medicine’s Mobile Arrival feature can use geolocation on Apple and Android devices to detect when you arrive for an appointment. It requires the myPennMedicine app, notifications and location permissions.

What Mobile Arrival needs

  • The myPennMedicine app installed.
  • The app open when needed.
  • Location sharing turned on.
  • Notifications allowed.
  • Mobile Arrival enabled in MyChart communication preferences.

Turn on Mobile Arrival alerts

  • Log in to MyChart by myPennMedicine.
  • Choose Communication Preferences.
  • Choose Appointments & Questionnaires.
  • Open Advanced Settings.
  • Scroll to Mobile Arrival and make sure the toggle is green.
  • Save the setting.

Penn Telehealth, Video Visits and Penn Medicine OnDemand

Penn’s video-visit instructions use MyChart by myPennMedicine for Pre Check-In and joining the video visit. Penn Medicine OnDemand is for urgent, non-life-threatening issues and has its own scheduling and support details.

Video visit Pre Check-In

Penn says Pre Check-In must be completed at least 15 minutes before the telehealth appointment. This can include personal, insurance and health information, consent forms and payment steps.

Join the visit

The Join Video Visit link is active 15 minutes before the appointment. Your browser may ask for camera and microphone access; allow it only in the official visit flow.

Penn Medicine OnDemand

OnDemand is virtual urgent care for non-emergency issues. Penn says you must be in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland during an OnDemand virtual visit.

OnDemand can help with

  • Allergies.
  • Cough or sore throat.
  • COVID-19 concerns.
  • Gout.
  • Nausea, diarrhea or constipation.
  • Pink eye or stye.
  • Sinus infection or skin rash.
  • Urinary tract infection.

OnDemand cannot treat

  • Chest pain.
  • Difficulty breathing.
  • Head injuries.
  • Changes in vision.
  • Severe dizziness.
  • Abdominal pain.
  • Some medication requests, including narcotics and stimulants.

Penn Medicine Billing, Guest Pay and Payment Plans

Billing is one of the highest-risk portal tasks because fake payment pages can look convincing. Use only Penn Medicine’s official billing page, the logged-in MyChart billing area or official guest-pay links.

Pay online

Penn Medicine says registered portal users can log in to MyChart by myPennMedicine to pay bills, and guests can pay without an account.

Pay as guest

Use Pay as Guest only on the official myPennMedicine page if you cannot log in or do not have an account.

Payment plans

Penn’s FAQ says payment plan eligibility and terms are based on account balance. Call billing support to explore payment plan options.

Payment routes

  • Logged-in MyChart by myPennMedicine billing area.
  • MyChart by myPennMedicine Pay as Guest.
  • Phone payment for Penn Medicine Philadelphia-area locations at 800-406-1177.

Penn Medicine Patient Billing mail address

Payment safety: this guide never collects card, bank, guarantor, statement or account-number information. Complete payments only on Penn Medicine’s official billing site, MyChart by myPennMedicine, Pay as Guest, official phone routes or official mail routes.

Medical Records, PDF Downloads and Share Everywhere

Penn Medicine offers multiple ways to access and share health information. The patient portal can provide free access to much of your health information and lets you download a PDF copy. Formal release is needed when records go to someone other than you.

Portal access

Use MyChart by myPennMedicine to access much of your health information at your convenience and download a PDF copy for yourself or another provider.

Authorization form

If records need to be sent to another healthcare provider or someone other than yourself, Penn says you must submit the authorization form.

Share Everywhere

Share Everywhere lets you give a provider one-time limited access to portal information such as medications, allergies, immunizations and health issues.

Records tip: use the portal first when you only need a copy for yourself. Use the authorization form when records must be sent to another person, organization, school, legal office, insurer or non-Penn provider outside normal portal sharing.

Proxy Access for Children, Adolescents and Adults

Proxy access means a person with a MyChart by myPennMedicine account has full or partial access to another person’s account. It is safer than password sharing and helps keep messages connected to the right patient.

Newborn and child access

Full proxy access can be granted to both parents listed on a newborn’s birth certificate after birth, and to parents or guardians of children under 14.

Adolescent access

For ages 14-17, full proxy access requires the adolescent patient’s consent and can be revoked by the patient. Partial proxy access may be limited to allergies and immunizations.

Adult proxy access

Adults may grant proxy access to another person with a registered MyChart by myPennMedicine account. The patient can revoke access.

How proxy access is usually requested

  • Have your own MyChart by myPennMedicine account.
  • Ask at your doctor’s office or the family member’s doctor’s office.
  • Complete the appropriate proxy form when required.
  • For adult-to-adult proxy, use Sharing Hub if that option applies.
  • Do not share usernames or passwords.

Why proxy access matters

  • It avoids sending messages from the wrong patient account.
  • It respects adolescent privacy rules.
  • It lets adult patients control and revoke access.
  • It helps caregivers assist without unsafe password sharing.
  • It keeps billing, scheduling and clinical access tied to correct permissions.

Proxy safety: do not share passwords between spouses, parents, teens, caregivers or adult children. Use official proxy access so permissions, privacy limits and messages stay connected to the correct patient record.
