What’s happening with UW Medicine’s existing patient portals?
What happened to UW Medicine’s former patient portals?
On March 27, 2021, UW Medicine’s patient portals merged into one – known as MyChart. That means that no matter where you received care, MyChart will now serve as your patient portal.
If you already had eCare, your account automatically updated to MyChart on March 27. UW Medicine’s other patient portals – known as Cerner and Mobile MD – retired on March 27. If you were previously using another patient portal, see the directions above to create a new patient account.

Current eCare users
If you previously used eCare, you will still have access to all your information you're used to viewing. Now you'll also be able to see your hospital admissions and emergency department visits as well as billing and payment details. See all of the new features in the chart above.
Current UW Medicine patients without a patient account
When you create your MyChart account, you will be able to see your UW Medicine medical records from visits with your primary care provider, laboratory results and imaging such as x-rays. You can request via MyChart your records from hospital stays or emergency room visits. If you have any questions, please call 855.520.5151.
Any new appointments, hospital visits or emergency department visits will be available through MyChart from March 27 on. See instructions on how to request medical records in the accordion below.
If you’d like to see medical information from prior visits that is not visible in MyChart, you can request those records via MyChart or fill out a release of information via phone, email or regular mail.
New billing features
You can see and pay all of your UW Medicine bills on MyChart, including balances from before MyChart went live. You access your bills the same way you do your medical information — using your MyChart login. Simply log in using your username and password or sign up for a new account. You will have access to the billing information for which you are financially responsible without any additional set-up required.
You will be able to see all historical information for any of your outstanding accounts, regardless of where you were seen. Please note that certain services (such as laboratory services, Airlift Northwest and Valley Medical Center) will still be accessed through separate portals.
For most UW Medicine statement data, including historical charge details are accessible through your MyChart account.
To access your physician billing, Harborview statements for dates of service prior to March 27, 2021, you will need to access the existing Harborview physician portal. Online payment for these balances will be through your MyChart account, or through MyChart's "pay as guest" feature. Services at Harborview after March 27, 2021 will be accessible through your MyChart account.
Questions about where to find your bill, or need help paying? Contact us at 206.520.0400 or toll free at 855.520.0400.
Billing access is controlled separately from clinical details. Access to billing-related details, including statements, ability to pay, and billing letter communications is available only to the person who is financially responsible (known as the guarantor).
Proxies will not have access to billing information. If you are responsible for more than just your own bill, you will see all of your accounts as separate tiles on the billing home page within MyChart.
For example, if you are a patient, but also have 2 children at UW Medicine that you are financially responsible for (the guarantor), you will see an entry for your own bill, and 2 separate entries for each child.
