OUR PATIENT PORTAL

Manage your care 24/7 using our quick and easy online platform

UK HealthCare MyChart is a secure and easy-to-use online patient portal that allows you to manage your care and access your health information any time. MyChart provides you with online access to your health record. It can help you participate in your health care and communicate with your providers.

COVID-19 Smart Health Cards (proof of vaccination)

UK HealthCare patients can now access COVID-19 Smart Health Cards through their MyChart account. Smart Health Cards provide a quick and secure solution for sharing your COVID-19 vaccination status digitally.

MyChart users can generate a scannable QR code that will link to their COVID-19 vaccination record. The QR code can be accessed on a laptop or on a mobile phone, where it can be scanned easily when proof of vaccination is needed. Any COVID-19 test results that are in a UK HealthCare patient’s clinical record can also be accessed.

Below are answers to some common questions about MyChart. Find more FAQs here.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

E-mail us at UKHCMyChart@uky.edu or call our MyChart Patient Support Line at 859-218-6221/844-820-7344 (toll free).

Is there a fee to use MyChart?

MyChart is a free service offered to our patients.

Can you send me a new activation code? I have lost mine, let it expire or did not receive one.

Contact us at UKHCMyChart@uky.edu and after we verify your information, a new code will be sent via U.S. Postal Mail. Privacy issues prevent us from e-mailing a new activation code to you.

What if I don’t have a computer?

Your MyChart account can be accessed from any computer, tablet or smartphone. You are also welcome to access the portal using a computer in our Don and Cathy Jacobs Health Education Center (HEC), in UK Chandler Hospital Pavilion A near the bridge to the parking garage. The HEC staff can answer many of your questions.

If you are the personal representative (for example, parent, legal guardian, attorney-in-fact) of a UK HealthCare patient, you may request access to the patient’s health information. This is known as proxy access.  

You may request proxy access via the UK HealthCare MyChart patient portal or through the UK HealthCare Health Information Management office. 

Some proxy relationships require special documentation, such as power of attorney or proof of guardianship. Questions about proxy documentation requirements may be directed to the Health Information Management (HIM) office at 859-323-5117. You can also contact the HIM office through MyChart. (Select Messages from the top menu, hit the "Ask a Question” button and then select “HIM Document Question” in the dropdown menu.)

Note: KRS 214.185 allows minors, in certain situations, to be treated without parental/guardian consent. Under HIPAA 45 CFR 164.502, this sometimes prevents UK HealthCare from releasing information to the parent/guardian. 

MyChart Support: E-mail us at UKHCMyChart@uky.edu or call our MyChart Patient Support Line at 859-218-6221 or 844-820-7344 (toll free) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
