Linking My Account
How does UofL Health MyChart know where I have been seen before, or where I have other health data?
As you move between your healthcare providers, this organization may securely exchange your health information with other healthcare organizations so that your care team can see all of your health information. This secure, electronic exchange of your record gives your care team information they need to give you safe and effective care, and allows UofL Health MyChart to give you a more complete picture of your health. When you log in to UofL Health MyChart, we use the existing connections to determine where you have been seen. We can then suggest you connect to these organizations to see a complete view of your health record in this UofL Health MyChart account.
Why doesn't the organization I want to link to show up in the search results?
Different organizations enable linking at different times. You can see the list of organizations on our network at www.epic.com/happytogether. Note that some organizations allow anyone who has an account to link to them, but others require that your provider exchange your medical record with them first.
What happens after I link my account to another healthcare organization?
After linking your account to another healthcare organization, you can view the following information along with the information in your UofL Health MyChart account from this organization:
- Allergies
- Health Issues
- Implants
- Medications
If your account is active at the other organization, you may also be able to view and interact with the following features:
- Messages
- Test Results
- Appointments and Visits
- Care Team
After linking your account to your insurance provider, you may be able to view and interact with the following features:
- Insurance
When you see this icon 
, the information is coming from an outside organization. Tap the symbol on a mobile device or hover over the symbol on a desktop to see where the information is coming from.
Sometimes, a reverse link from the other healthcare organization to your UofL Health MyChart account is also created, depending on thisorganization's and the other organization's settings.
Can I access this information on both the mobile app and the website?
Yes. All features are available on both the mobile app and the website.
Can I stop seeing information from an organization I’ve linked?
You can unlink an organization in the Link My Accounts activity. This stops information from that organization from showing in this UofL Health MyChart account. Any organizations that you choose to unlink will remain available in the Link My Accounts activity.
What happens to my data when I unlink an organization?
If you unlink an organization, we remove all of that organization's data from UofL Health MyChart. Depending on this organization and the other organization's settings, your care team might still be able to access the external data to help provide you with medical care. If you don't want your care team at this organization to be able to access the external data, please contact the other organization directly.
I can see other people’s information (e.g. my child) at a different organization. When my accounts are linked, can I also see that information here?
If you can see another person’s information at a different organization, you might also be able to view their information when linking an account. What you can see and do in UofL Health MyChart depends on what the other healthcare organization allows you to do in your account with them and whether the linked organization is using Epic applications. You must have an account here and at the other healthcare organization, with access to the same patient’s information in both, to see both sets of information for that patient in this UofL Health MyChart account.
How is my information protected?
We carefully protect the privacy and security of your information using different physical, administrative, and technical controls. When your information is shared, your record is encrypted and delivered in a secure, electronic format. Only healthcare professionals who are involved in your care can see your information at the healthcare organization.
Common Questions
What if I do not recognize an organization that appears on my list of accounts?
A healthcare organization must be part of this account linking network to allow you to link your account. If the organization you are looking for is not featured as a suggested option, you can use the search functionality to see if it is a part of the network. Also visit www.epic.com/happytogether to see which organizations are already on this network and which ones will be joining soon.
What do I do if I believe there is a mistake in the information I see?
You will see organizations where you have a medical record in their system. Sometimes, a name might not look familiar because:
- A clinic might use a name that is different from the name of the organization that owns the clinic.
- An organization where you were seen a long time ago might have changed its name since the last time you were seen there.
If you have concerns about your information at that location, you should contact that organization.
Can my doctor see the external data that I link?
If you believe there is a mistake with the information you see in your UofL Health MyChart account, contact the organization listed in the bubble that appears when you tap or hover over the symbol. If there is no symbol, this information is coming from us, so call our help desk at 502-588-7005.
What do the notification bubbles mean in the Other Providers section of the home page?
You have notifications available at the linked organization. Red notification bubbles appear only if you have an active account at the linked organization. You can jump directly into your active linked accounts by clicking the icon for that organization. When you click a linked organization’s icon, your account at that organization opens in a new browser window or tab.
You do not have an active account at the linked organization. You can still see your medications, allergies, and health issues that are documented at the linked organization. If you want to create an account with the linked organization to have access to other features or information, such as test results, messaging, scheduling, and appointments, you can click the linked organization’s logo to start the signup process if they allow it. Otherwise, visit the patient portal website of the linked organization or ask your provider at the linked organization how you can get signed up.
There was an error while retrieving your information from the linked organization. Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact the associated organization.
How do I verify my account at another organization?
When you click the button to link an account, you will be asked to do one of the following:
- Answer security questions about yourself. The answers to these questions will be the information stored in the other organization.
- Enter your username and password in the other organization’s portal. We will take you to the other organization’s portal and ask you to log in to verify yourself. Which task you are asked to complete depends on the individual organization you are trying to connect to.
Why do I need to manually update my data for some organizations?
Some organizations do not allow MyChart to pull your information automatically. In these cases, you need to verify your account in the organization’s portal again before we can obtain your latest health information.
Why can’t I see certain information from other organizations?
Sometimes, you might not be able to see some information from other organizations because:
- You might not have that information documented at the linked healthcare organization.
- If the same information is in your record at the linked organization and here, it is not marked with the
symbol. - The linked organization might not allow you to view that information. The information from the linked organization that you see in UofL Health MyChart depends on what that organization allows you to see in your account with them. Sometimes, you might be unable to view your test results as expected because:
- You might not have an active account at the linked healthcare organization.
- You might have chosen to not show test results from an organization. The Show field at the top of the test results page allows you to choose which organizations to show test results for. By default, test results from all organizations appear. You can use the selection list to show test results from a specific organization.
- The linked organization might not release all or any test results. In this case, test results you can’t see through the other organization’s portal also don't appear in your UofL Health MyChart account.
Why can’t I message a doctor from another organization?
If you cannot send a message to a provider at another organization, consider the following:
- If you do not see options to message your providers from a linked organization, you might not have an active account at the linked organization.
- You must be using a web browser (not the UofL Health MyChart mobile app) to message providers from other organizations in your UofL Health MyChart account.
- Messaging might be a feature this organization does not use. If you have sent messages through the linked organization’s portal in the past, you might have to log in to your account at the linked organization to access this feature.
- If you don’t see the provider on the list of available providers to message, that provider or organization might not allow messaging.
