Why can't I find my test results in FollowMyHealth?

There are a few reasons why you can’t find your test results.

  • State law or system rules may limit what test results can be displayed. They include,
    but aren’t limited to:

    • Hepatitis tests
    • HIV tests
    • Tests related to drug abuse
  • Pathology tests (including PAP tests, biopsies) are released to FollowMyHealth
    based on your doctor’s orders.
  • Radiology results (including X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI scans and
    mammograms) are released to FollowMyHealth based on your doctor’s orders.
  • We post results after your doctor has seen them.
  • If you want to see results for a child or family member, you’ll need to switch to
    another account. Here’s how:

    • Click the drop-down arrow next to your name at the top of the screen.
    • Select the person’s name for whom you want to view test results.

Why can't I ask for prescription refills in FollowMyHealth for some medicines?

It may have something to do with how the medicine was entered into your health
record. Your doctor may need to order for you.

What should I do if I can't find my pharmacy in the FollowMyHealth choices?

  • In the “My Account” drop-down menu, select “Support”.
  • In the “Support tab”, select “Product Feedback”.
  • In the “Product Feedback” tab, select “Suggestions”.
  • On the “Patient Suggestions” page, ask to have your pharmacy added. Please
    include its address and phone number.

What's the difference between ``read only`` and ``full access`` health care proxy accounts?

This is for a person who is a health care proxy. You can give someone permission to view
your records or act on your behalf in a health care setting. When you do, that person
becomes your health care proxy.

  • “Read only access” means your health care proxy can only view your information.
  • “Full access” means your health care proxy can view your information and make
    changes the account.

Here’s how to give your health care proxy or another person permission to sign in to your
account:

  • From the “My Account” drop-down, select Preferences.
  • On the “Preferences” screen, select the “Invite a Proxy” button. You will be given two choices:
    • “Grant Read Only access.” (This means your health care proxy can
      only read the information in your account.)
    • “Grant Full access.” (This means your health care proxy can read and
      make changes in your account.)
  • Type in the information needed. Click “OK” to send the invite to your health care
    proxy.
  • You must type in your health care proxy’s email address to send the invite to them.

What if I no longer want my information to go to FollowMyHealth?

There are two ways to do this.

First way:

  • Go to the “My Account” drop-down menu. Choose the “Connections”tab.
  • On the “Connections” tab, find the name of the health care organization. Click on the
    X next to its name.

Please note: This will stop any new information from that health care organization from
entering your FollowMyHealth account. Information that’s already in your account will stay
on FollowMyHealth.

Second way:

  • Go to the “My Account” drop-down menu. Choose the “Preferences” tab.
  • On the “Preferences” tab, you can permanently remove your account.

Please note: This action will remove any health care proxy from your account. It will also
remove anyone else you have given permission to view your account.
