How to obtain access to a family member's chart
Obtaining access to a family member's medical record through MyUCDavisHealth allows you to see all medical information and history, including test results, care team messages, appointments, and more. You can only access a family member’s medical record if you are a spouse, parent, guardian, or the legal patient representative.
To request access to a family member’s medical record, log in to your own MyUCDavisHealth account and complete the online record authorization form. You can find the form under the Access Settings submenu.
You can also download and complete the Access To My Family's Record Authorization Form. When completed, please submit the form either through:
- Fax: 916-734-2126
- E-mail: hs-mychartactivation@ucdavis.edu
- U.S. mail: UC Davis Health, Health Information Management Medical/Legal Release of Information Unit, 2315 Stockton Blvd., Building #12, Sacramento, CA 95817
Please allow us 15 days to process your request. For additional information or questions about obtaining family medical records, please contact 916-734-5205 or email mychartactivation@ucdmc.ucdavis.edu
