About MyBILH Chart

Is there a fee to use MyBILH Chart?

MyBILH Chart is a free service offered to our patients.

How is MyBILH Chart secure?

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 MyBILH Chart messaging is done while you are securely logged on to our website.

Enrollment Questions

How do I sign up?

Patients who wish to participate will be issued a MyBILH Chart activation code during their clinic visit. This code will enable you to log in and create your own username and password. If you were not issued an activation code, you may call your primary care clinic to get one or ask to sign up during your next office visit.

Who do I contact if I have further questions?

You can call our MyBILH Chart Patient Support Line at 781-744-7300.

Your Medical Record

When can I see my test results in MyBILH Chart?

In the interest of patient-centered care, MyBILH Chart is making your test results available to you in a timely fashion. Some results are ready on the same day; other results may take a few days. When the result is available, we release them to you online immediately. It may be the case that you see your test results before your provider. Keep in mind that test results do not provide a definitive diagnosis.

If you have questions, please reach out to the provider who ordered the test via an electronic message through MyBILH Chart or call the office during normal business hours.

Why are certain test results not shared electronically via MyBILH Chart?

Your provider is able to determine which types of test results are able to be accessed through MyBILH Chart. Further, tests of a very sensitive nature are not released to MyBILH Chart.

If some of my health information on MyBILH Chart is not correct, what should I do?

Your MyBILH Chart 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.

If I send a message to my doctor, when can I expect a reply?

You will generally receive an answer within 1-3 business days. Please note that MyBILH Chart should not be used for urgent situations. Please contact your medical center if the situation requires immediate attention or dial 911 if it is an emergency.

MyBILH Chart for My Family

Can I view a family member's health record in MyBILH Chart?

Yes, you can. This is called proxy access and allows a parent (or guardian) to log in to their personal MyBILH Chart account and then connect to information regarding their family member.

Complete a Proxy Consent Form and return it to one of our medical facilities to request access to this convenient service or select Share My Record from the Health menu. From there you can select "Friends and family access" and modify or add new access to your health record.

Can I ask questions regarding a family member from my MyBILH Chart account?

MyBILH Chart offers direct access to your personal health record and communicating about another individual's information would be placed in your health record. This information would not appear in the correct health record and could potentially jeopardize medical care.

Can my spouse and I share one MyBILH Chart account?

No, due to the sensitive nature of medical information, each adult must sign and submit a Release of Information request and establish their own MyBILH Chart account.

After I Have Enrolled

I forgot my password. What should I do?

You may contact our MyBILH Chart Patient Support Line at 781-744-7300 to request a new, secure password. You may also click the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page to reset your password online.

Can you send me a new activation code as I have lost it, let it expire or did not receive it?

Contact us at 781-744-7300 and after we verify your information, a new code will be sent via US Postal Mail. Privacy issues prevent us from e-mailing a new activation code to you.

Where can I update my personal information (e.g., home address, email or change my password)?

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