As a parent, staying connected to your child’s care is essential, and MyChart makes that easier. With proxy access, you can securely manage your child’s health needs and communicate directly with their provider online.
“Proxy access is the best way to send messages to your child’s care team through MyChart,” says Dr. Lauren Brave, board-certified pediatrician at Boulder Medical Center. “It’s convenient, secure, and helps us respond to your questions quickly and accurately.”
Why you should set up proxy access today
-
- Communicate Directly with Your Child’s Provider
Proxy access allows you to send secure messages to your child’s pediatrician or care team through MyChart. This feature is only available through proxy access, not your MyChart account. - Access Health Records Anytime
You can easily view immunizations, test results, growth charts, and visit summaries—all in one place. This is especially helpful when completing school, camp, or sports forms. - Manage Appointments and Prescriptions
You can schedule, cancel, and review upcoming visits at your convenience. You can also use MyChart to check in for visits ahead of time and complete any required pre-visit questionnaires—all from your phone or computer. Visit reminder notifications also go through MyChart, helping you stay organized and on time. - Upload Important Forms
Do you need a provider to complete a school or field trip medication form? Upload it directly through MyChart for your child’s provider to complete. (Forms not uploaded through the portal must be dropped off in person.) Tip: Please fill out all fields on the form, even if the information seems repetitive. - Stay on Top of Your Child’s Care
You’ll receive automatic alerts for test results, upcoming appointments, and care reminders. - Support Their Health Independence
As your child gets older, MyChart helps them transition to managing their care while keeping you informed and involved.
- Communicate Directly with Your Child’s Provider
Setting up proxy access is easy
Getting proxy access to your child’s MyChart account only takes a few steps. Here’s how to get started:
- Choose the right form based on your child’s age:
- Submit the form online or return it to Boulder Medical Center. Complete every field on the form, even if the information appears twice. Forms with missing information may not be processed.
- Watch for an email with your activation code if you don’t already have a MyChart account.
- Once proxy access is approved, you’ll receive a confirmation by email and inside your MyChart account.
It’s a quick process that gives you lasting access to important tools and communication for your child’s care.
