UPMC Central PA Portal Proxy Access and Adolescent Accounts

The UPMC Central PA Portal is a free, secure, patient portal. It gives you online and mobile access to your health information right at your fingertips — anytime, anywhere.

Proxy Access

You can manage the health information for your child or loved one through Proxy Access. By becoming a proxy, you can communicate with their UPMC providers, view their medical records and test results, manage their appointments, and more through your own UPMC Central PA Portal account. To get started with proxy access, talk to your child or loved one’s UPMC care team at their next appointment.

To manage proxy access, go to the menu and select Sharing Hub. You can view who sees your health record and whose health records you can see from your patient portal account. Within the Sharing Hub, you can also download your health records, request a formal copy of your health records, or share your records with a provider using Share Everywhere.

Adolescent Accounts

Teens aged 14 to 17 can now play a larger role in managing their health care with a UPMC Central PA Portal Adolescent Account.

An adolescent account provides access for teens to:

  • Have a video visit.
  • Message their UPMC providers.
  • Request appointments.
  • Request prescription renewals.
  • View test results.

Have questions? Call 717-988-0000 and select option 6.

For Teens: How Do I Sign Up for My Own UPMC Central PA Portal Account?

UPMC is here for you as you learn more about managing your own health care.

If you're between 14 and 17, you'll need your parent or legal guardian's consent to sign up for a UPMC Central PA Adolescent Account. Then, at your next office visit, your UPMC provider can help you set up your account.

Once you have an account, you can download the UPMC Central PA Portal app.

For Parents: How Can the UPMC Central PA Portal Help My Teen?

UPMC is here to help transition your teen to adulthood.

A UPMC Central PA Portal Adolescent Account gives your child a greater chance to ask questions about their health and well-being, and confidence to navigate their health care.

You can join your teen’s appointments remotely while still giving your teen the ability to join from their own phone.

It starts with you

A parent or guardian must give their child consent to set up an adolescent account.

If your teen has interest, talk to them about it. Then speak with your child's provider at their next visit.

If you need full access to your child's records, talk with their care team at your next visit or call the office.

UPMC Central PA Portal Adolescent Account FAQs

Teens aged 14 to 17 can take a more active role in managing their health.

With an adolescent account, teens can:

  • Message their UPMC providers.
  • Request appointments.
  • Have a video visit.
  • View test results.
  • Request prescription renewals.

Teens can sign up for their own UPMC Central PA Portal Adolescent Account at their UPMC provider's office with consent from their parent or guardian.

After a teen has an account, they can download the UPMC Central PA Portal app.

Yes.

Teens can send a message to their doctors or care team and choose which proxies to include in the message.

Yes, both you and your teen can have access to their health records.

But the information each of you see may differ under adolescent privacy laws in Pennsylvania.

Proxy access to children is automatically discontinued when the child turns 18. When your child turns 18, they can get their own account, or you may complete an adult proxy request form to obtain adult proxy access. Adult proxy access allows for an authorized proxy to access the account of another patient over 18, such as an elderly parent.

To comply with certain laws regarding privacy rights of adolescents, the UPMC Central PA Portal limits the features that a proxy may access for pediatric patients ages 14 through 17. If your unique situation requires you to maintain full access to their records, you can talk to your child's care team about your needs at an upcoming appointment or contact your provider’s office.

When they turn 18.

Their account will automatically transition to an adult UPMC Central PA Portal account, with access to more features.
