Medical questions don’t always come up when your doctor’s office is open. You used to have to wait for business hours, leave a message and hope the return call came when you were available to take it. What if you could communicate with your provider when it worked best for you?

You can do that and more with MyChart. A free and secure online portal to exchange messages with your provider, request appointments, renew prescriptions, check your test results the moment they are released and much more. If you are a parent, legal guardian or legal caregiver, you can request proxy access to that patient’s healthcare information.

With MyChart, you can:

Access on any device

Access MyChart through the Ohio State MyHealth mobile app or desktop computer to manage your medical information anytime, because life happens outside of business hours.

Message your healthcare provider

Send medical questions to your provider with messages any time of the day at no extra cost.

Personal health summary
