The free My Health Online mobile app is available for both Apple and Android devices.

Keeping your health information private and secure is our top priority. We use the latest available technology to ensure your data is protected, including two-step verification, secure activation codes, face ID and fingerprint login. Unlike conventional email, all My Health Online messaging is done while you’re securely signed in to our website or mobile app.

Requiring two-step verification helps ensure your account stays secure even if someone else has your username or password. This is how it works: After you’ve entered your username and password, you’ll receive a code via email or text message. Entering that single-use code will give you access to your MHO account. Check out our helpful video on two-step verification.

If you think the email or phone number where you receive My Health Online notifications and secure links may be compromised, you can change them in Personal Information.

For further assistance, call our Patient Support Line at 800-4Sutter.

Try these steps:

1. Check the spam or junk folders in your email.
2. If you don’t find the email with your code there, try clicking Resend Code.
3. If you have multiple email accounts, check one of the others to see if the verification code was sent there instead. If none of your accounts received the email, it could be that we don't have an email address for you on file.

If you didn't receive the code via text message, make sure you’ve enabled text alerts in your Communication Preferences or text START to 85638.

Yes. Patients can give permission to another adult to access their medical information through our Proxy Access program. A parent, stepparent or legal guardian can also request online access to medical records for children under 18. To learn more, see Proxy Access.

Proxy access allows you to access another patient's record online through your own My Health Online account. Depending on the situation, there are different types of proxy access available:

• Proxy Access for Children: Helps you manage healthcare for your children, up to age 26. Access clinical guidelines, vaccination records (for children age 12 and under), medication instructions and other information.
• Proxy Access for Teens: Parents of teens between 12-17 are allowed limited proxy access to their child’s record per California law. Teens can manage their care with My Health Online account.
• Proxy Access for Adults: Manage another adult's medical care by submitting a paper proxy access form signed by both parties. 

Proxies for adult patients or children age 11 or younger can see the patient's full record as if it was their own. For patients between ages 12-17 or those that extend teen proxy access, proxies will be limited to scheduling appointments and viewing messages, per California state law.

Yes. Parents or guardians can have proxy access to multiple patients (i.e. multiple children). More than one proxy (i.e. two parents) can have access to the same patient's record.

Proxy access can be revoked at any time if the patient is over 18 years of age. Proxy access to a child’s records automatically expires when the patient turns 18, unless the child chooses to extend their teen proxy access to young adult proxy access which expires at age 26.

No. Each individual must have a request form on file as part of their electronic health record for privacy reasons. Get more information about proxy access.

Yes, if you have proxy access to the person’s record. Please don't send questions from your own account about family members — their care team will not be able to answer them.
