How Do I Access My Medical Information and Share Records with My DPC?

Most Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices don’t use large electronic health record systems like MyChart, so the process for accessing and sharing medical information can look a little different—but it’s typically more personal and flexible.

Accessing Appointments, Lab Results, Visit Notes, and Prescriptions

Each DPC practice manages this a bit differently. Common approaches include:

• Secure patient portals hosted by the DPC (some use simple, lightweight platforms).
• Direct communication with your doctor by phone, text, or email. Many DPCs share lab results and visit notes directly through these channels.
• Printed or emailed summaries after visits or lab work.

Because DPCs operate outside of traditional insurance billing systems, they can often provide your records faster and more directly than hospital-based systems.
