Proxy Form (Guardian Power of Attorney 12 and Over)
Guardian/ Power of Attorney Access to the Online MyChart Record of a Patient
Age 12 or Older
Requirements and Procedures
If a patient is 12 or over and does not have capacity to sign the authorization, the patient’s authorized representative such
as a legal guardian or a person with legal authority may sign and access the patient’s online MyChart. This request must
be accompanied by a copy of the legal paperwork verifying the authority of the patient’s personal representative (i.e.
birth certificate, court order, power of attorney for health care).
Requirements for accessing a patient’s record:
Ø Individual requesting access must have legal guardianship or other authorization to act on behalf of the patient
Ø Guardian/POA Access Authorization form must be completed and signed
Ø Appropriate Guardianship, Power of Attorney or other documentation must be provided
Ø Each individual requesting access must have his or her own MyChart account
Ø Should Guardianship or your authority to act on behalf of the patient be revoked or limited you are responsible to
report this information immediately to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago or your
independent physician practice
I understand that:
Ø I must have a MyChart account
Ø I must log in to MyChart with my own User ID & Password
Ø I must click on 'My Family’s Records' to access the patient's medical information
Ø I agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the MyChart site
Ø MyChart is not appropriate to be used in emergency situations.
Legal Guardian/POA access to a patient’s record is revoked when:
Ø MyChart access to the patient’s record will be revoked when/if Guardianship changes or other rights expire or
are terminated
Ø Legal Guardian or patient access disputes cannot be resolved
Communications on behalf of the patient must be sent from the patient’s record; responses will be posted in the patient’s
record. MyChart e-mail alerts will be sent to the e-mail address entered in the patient’s record.
If you already have a MyChart account, you will receive a letter notifying you that access to the patient’s record is
available, typically 5-7 business days. You will be granted access to the record only after the Guardian/Power of
Attorney Access Authorization form and any other required documentation is received.
If you do not have a MyChart account, upon submitting your electronic request a MyChart Activation Letter with Access
Code and instructions will be mailed to you typically in 5-7 business days. Access to MyChart will be granted upon
Lurie Children’s or your independent physician practice receiving the completed Guardian/Power of Attorney Access
Authorization. If you do not activate your account within 60 days after receiving your MyChart Activation Letter, the
patient’s account will be inactivated.
