My child is over 13. Can I still access their MyChart?Teens ages 13 - 17 can have their own MyChart account using their OWN personal cell phone number or personal email address. Parents/guardians cannot create an account on behalf of their child. Teens can choose to grant their parent/guardian full access, messaging only access or no access at all. The teen’s provider will educate them on how to grant their parent/guardian access.

If approved, the parent/guardian will be given full proxy access. Learn more about MyChart access for teens and their proxies.
