UPMC Patient Portal: Your Secure Online Health Gateway

The UPMC Patient Portals offer a secure and convenient way to manage your health information 24/7. These digital portals are designed to put your health details at your fingertips, allowing you to connect with your care team and handle various aspects of your medical journey online. Whether you're viewing test results, scheduling appointments, or communicating with your healthcare provider, the portals streamline your healthcare management.

UPMC utilizes different patient portals depending on your location and specific care needs. While MyUPMC primarily serves patients in Western Pennsylvania and Western Maryland, a newer, consolidated UPMC Patient Portal (powered by MyChart) is available for those receiving care in Central Pennsylvania, Northwest Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. This transition aims to provide a unified user dashboard experience across many UPMC facilities.

Setting Up Your Access to UPMC Online Care

• You generally need an active email address to create an account and receive important health updates and reminders.
• Individuals must be 18 years of age or older to set up their own account. Parents or legal guardians can create proxy accounts to manage the health information of minor patients. In limited cases, minors may also be eligible for their own accounts, subject to certain restrictions.
• For the new UPMC Patient Portal, you can register online or by downloading the MyChart app and searching for "UPMC Patient Portal."
• For MyUPMC, you can sign up directly on MyUPMC.com or through the free MyUPMC mobile application.
