MyUPMC is a free, secure, patient portal. It gives you online and mobile access to your health information right at your fingertips — anytime, anywhere.
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 MyUPMC account. To get started with proxy access, talk to your child or loved one’s UPMC care team at their next appointment or follow the instructions below.

But, the information each of you sees 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, MyUPMC limits the features that a proxy may access for pediatric patients ages 13 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.
