Regaining Access to Your MyCareCompass Profile
⚠️ Cannot Access Results After Login
Cause: Technical issues, system updates, or specific results that cannot be displayed online.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you encounter an error message like 'feature temporarily not available' after logging in, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or try a different web browser. If the problem persists, contact MyCareCompass Support. They might need to perform an account reset from their end, especially if your account was affected by recent system updates.
⚠️ Forgot Username or Password
Cause: Loss of login credentials.
Solution: On the login screen, look for 'Forgot Username' or 'Forgot Password' links. Follow the prompts to retrieve your username via email or reset your password. You may need to answer security questions to verify your identity. If you suspect unauthorized access, reset your credentials immediately and contact support.
⚠️ Unable to Register with Lab Visit Number
Cause: Lab visit too old, incorrect information, or previous registration issues.
Solution: A Lab Visit Number is valid for initial registration only if the lab visit was within the last 30 days. If it's older, you won't be able to register online for those specific results; contact your health care provider. If you've previously registered the same health card number, you cannot register it again; contact MyCareCompass Support for assistance with existing accounts.
