How can I give others access to my MyChart account?

Access to a child’s or adult’s MyChart account can be granted to individuals who have authority to view that individual’s medical information. This access can be used for parents who want access to their child’s MyChart or caretakers who want access to their family member’s MyChart.

Please note:

  • Ages 0-11: Parents or guardians will have full access to all aspects of the child’s MyChart account, including appointments, medications, test results and more.
  • Ages 12-17: If a parent or guardian previously had access to a minor’s account, they will be defaulted to demographics updates only of that minor’s account. Parents or guardians will have the option to receive full access at the child’s consent. A child can grant full access to any family or friend in the account settings of their MyChart. This access can be revoked at anytime.
  • 18 years or older: Adults can add any family or friend full access in their account settings on MyChart. This access can be revoked at anytime.

How do I get access to someone else's MyChart account?

  • Once a child turns 12 years old, they have the right to their own MyChart access. Denver Health aims to protect and support all adolescents privacy, and protecting their MyChart is part of that goal. A minor older than 12 can give and revoke access to their parents if they choose in their MyChart account settings.
  • If you are a caretaker for a disabled or elderly family member, you can request full access to that person’s MyChart and medical records by contacting our Medical Records department. That number is 303-602-8001.
  • You can now share your MyChart with family and friends. Just login in to your MyChart and click on account settings. You can add others to have full access to your MyChart. This access can be revoked at anytime.
