How Do I Transfer My Medical Records from My Current PCP to My DPC Using MyChart?
If your current provider uses MyChart (or a similar electronic health record portal), you can usually share your records directly with your new Direct Primary Care (DPC) provider by generating a secure link. This can be faster than requesting paper or faxed records.
Steps to share your records through MyChart:
- Log in to your MyChart account.
- Go to the Health or Medical Records section.
- Look for an option such as “Share My Record,” “Download My Record,” or “Share Everywhere.”
- Choose to generate a share link or access code.
- Send that link or code to your DPC’s office by email or secure message, or give it to them over the phone so they can retrieve your records.
Tip: Some DPCs prefer fax or secure email for compliance reasons. If that’s the case, you can still use MyChart to download your records as a PDF and send them to the DPC directly or ask your current provider to fax them on your behalf.
Requesting and sharing your records early — ideally soon after you receive your DPC assignment — helps ensure your new doctor has everything they need by your first visit.
