MyUTHealth Houston
Patient Portal

MyUTHealth Houston is a free service offered to our patients.

Please go to MyUTHealthHouston.org to sign up today.

Your test results will be released to your MyUTHealth Houston account as soon as they are available. If you have proxy access to a family member’s MyUTHealth Houston account access to test results may vary.

Your MyUTHealth Houston information comes directly from your electronic medical record at your doctor’s office. Ask your doctor to correct any inaccurate information at your next clinic visit. Your health information is reviewed and updated in your electronic medical record each visit.

You will generally receive an answer within 1-3 business days. Please note MyUTHealth Houston should not be used for urgent situations. For medical emergencies requiring immediate attention, please dial 911 or go to the nearest medical facility.

Yes, you can. This is called proxy access and a parent, guardian, spouse or other authorized family member logs in to their own MyUTHealth Houston account and then connects to information regarding their family member.

If the patient is over 18 they should complete a Proxy Consent Form and return it to one of our clinics to request access to this service or have the patient click “Share My Record” from the “Health” menu. From there the patient can select “Friends and family access” and modify or add new access to their health record.

The availability of information in the family member’s account varies based on the patient age and access granted.

Adults can grant varying levels of proxy access to other adults or caregivers. Please discuss these options with your clinic and have the patient sign the Proxy Consent form the next time they are in clinic.

Additional Information on Adult Proxy Access

Due to the sensitive nature of medical information, each adult must establish their own MyUTHealth Houston account. While spouses cannot share one account, they can grant proxy access.

Log into MyUTHealth Houston and from the left menu, go to the Preferences section and select the appropriate option.

We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure activation codes, personal usernames, and passwords. Each person controls their password, and the account cannot be accessed without that password. Unlike conventional email, all MyUTHealth Houston messaging is done while you are securely logged on to our website.

Your name and email address will be treated with the same care and privacy given your health records and will never be sold or leased by MyUTHealth Houston.

You will need either a personal email or personal mobile phone number and access to a computer, mobile device or tablet connected to the internet. For a mobile device or tablet, you will be able to download MyUTHealth Houston from Google Play or Apple’s app store.

It’s easy. You can find UTHealth/UT Physicians on the MyChart app’s health care provider directory.

MyUTHealth Houston can send reminders for preventive care, test results, statements, payment reminder and others. Patients may adjust their notification settings. UTHealth does not have an integrated pharmacy that dispenses medications, so refill due messages will not be available.

Upon review by your physician, a list of current medications, health issues, allergies, and immunizations will be available on your MyUTHealth Houston account. Most test results from the previous five years, as well as a history of medical appointments since Jan. 1, 2008, will also be available. Please note that while your current medical conditions will be available in the new portal, previous medical conditions, as well as your family medical history and surgery history, will not be released to MyUTHealth Houston. Messages, notes, comments, and attachments exchanged between you and your health care team in MyUTP/FollowMyHealth also will not be transferred to the new portal.

Yes, you will be notified of changes to your proxy access upon logging into MyUTHealth Houston.

It is a method of confirming a user’s claimed identity by using a combination of two different factors. This would be your password and verification code sent to you via email or text message.

To provide additional security during MyUTHealth Houston signup, login, password reset, or password expiration. Two-step verification minimizes identity theft and helps prevent unauthorized disclosure of your electronic health information.

When two-step verification is used after a patient enters their MyUTHealth Houston username and password, the user is taken to the additional security verification page to enter the verification code sent to them via email or text messaging.

At UTHealth Houston, our pledge is to protect your privacy. While logged into MyUTHealth Houston, if your keyboard remains idle for 15 minutes or more, you will be automatically logged out of the patient portal. We recommend that you log out of your MyUTHealth Houston session if you need to leave your computer for even a short period of time.

Yes, unless you opt out of two-step verification.

You can opt out of two-step verification by clicking “turn off two-step verification” under security settings in the profile menu at the top of the MyUTHealth Houston screen. However, we recommend keeping it on to help protect your privacy.
