Resolving Access Challenges
⚠️ Forgotten Username or Password
Cause: You cannot recall your login credentials for MyUPMC.
Solution: From the MyUPMC homepage, click the 'Forgot login information?' link. You will be prompted to select if you forgot your username or password and enter personal details like your first name, last name, date of birth, and zip code to recover access.
⚠️ Activation Code Not Working
Cause: Your activation code has expired or was already used.
Solution: Activation codes have an expiration date and are valid for only one-time use. If your code isn't working, contact MyUPMC Support at 1-833-298-7320 for assistance or visit your UPMC medical office to request a new one.
⚠️ Two-Step Verification Issues
Cause: You are not receiving the security code for two-step verification.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. First, try clicking the 'Send a new code' link or selecting a different verification method (text message or phone call). If you continue to have issues, call UPMC Health Plan Web Support Services at 1-800-937-0438 for help.
⚠️ Missing or Older Medical Records
Cause: You cannot find certain medical records, especially older ones, in the portal.
Solution: With the recent transition, only the most recent five years of records are typically displayed in MyUPMC. Your UPMC health information is preserved. If you need access to records older than five years, go to the Sharing Hub in MyUPMC and select 'Yourself' to see options for requesting previous records.
Protecting Your Confidential Health Information
- 🔒 Enable Two-Step Verification: MyUPMC strongly recommends, and often requires, two-step verification (also known as two-factor authentication) for an added layer of account security. This sends a code to your phone or email every time you log in.
- 🔒 Create a Strong Password: Use a unique, complex password that combines letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using easily guessable information. Update it regularly.
- 🔒 Be Vigilant Against Phishing: Be cautious of suspicious emails or messages asking for your MyUPMC login details. Always ensure you are on the official portal.upmc.com website or using the verified MyUPMC app before entering your credentials.
- 🔒 Log Out After Each Session: Always securely log out of your MyUPMC account, especially when using a shared or public device, to prevent unauthorized access.
- 🔒 Monitor Account Activity: Periodically review your health records and account activity for anything unusual and report any discrepancies immediately.
