• If you had an account with MyWakeHealth, those login credentials should work in MyAtriumHealth, starting in mid-February 2024. Some MyWakeHealth users will need to set up a new account, and will get instructions on how to do so. 

For help setting up your account, please call MyAtriumHealth Support toll-free at 855-799-0044.

If you are a child’s parent or legal guardian, you can view their medical information and manage their care in MyAtriumHealth through proxy access. Proxies of children between the ages of 0-12 have a full view of the child’s information, while proxies of children between the ages of 13-17 have teen access, which is a limited view of the child’s information by default. Like other health systems across the country, Atrium Health follows state and federal regulations that limit online access to patient records for individuals aged 13-17.

A full view of the child’s information is granted to proxies when a patient 13-17 years old is of diminished capacity – meaning the patient is not mentally capable of making informed medical decisions on their own. Diminished proxy access requires a doctor’s order. Due to certain medical needs, there are instances when a parent or guardian may request full access to the child’s health record that will remain active after the child turns 18. As always, a parent or guardian may call the doctor's office to discuss their children's health concerns.

To access a child’s account, sign in to MyAtriumHealth. Select Request Family Access from Your Menu. Complete and submit the form, and access should be available within a few business days.

You will need your child's:

• Social Security Number, or
• Atrium Health Medical Record Number (MRN). You can find the MRN on a receipt from a child’s visit, right above the home telephone number.

Teens who are age 13 and older may have their own MyAtriumHealth account. To request the creation of their account, ask your teen’s provider at their next office visit. Your teen will receive an activation text or email to set up their account.

A full view is available for parents and legal guardians of children between the ages of 0-13 and for adults 18 and older. Parents and legal guardians of a proxy 18 and older cannot view billing information.

Teen access is available for proxies of children between the ages of 13-17. With this limited view, you can see immunizations, allergies, medications (except contraceptives, ADD/ADHD and anxiety and depression), refill medications, letters (unless marked sensitive by a provider), appointments (except OB-GYN and behavioral health), and you can also message your teen’s provider. However, after-visit summaries for any of your dependent’s visits aren’t available.

Atrium Health follows state and federal regulations in regard to limiting online access to patient records when a patient is 13-17 years old. These patients are legally entitled to consent to treatment for a small subset of conditions (e.g., behavioral health, pregnancy care, sexually transmitted infection screening or treatment) and a right to confidential health care. Consistent with other organizations nationally and the law, Atrium Health doesn’t share these treatment visits with parents or guardian proxies by default through MyAtriumHealth.

For children 13-17 years old, you can view immunizations, allergies, medications (except for contraceptives, ADHD, anxiety or depression), refill medications, letters (unless marked sensitive by a provider), and appointments (except OB-GYN and behavioral health) as well as message your teen’s provider. However, after-visit summaries for any of your teen’s visits aren’t available.

Parents or guardians have the right to request teen proxy access for their child aged 13-17 years old through MyAtriumHealth at any time. Parents and guardians have a right to request any of their child’s health information not appearing in MyAtriumHealth. You can submit a request to access medical records in MyAtriumHealth. We encourage parents and guardians to speak with their child and their child's doctor to discuss any questions or concerns.

You can schedule appointments with primary care providers and most specialists that you have seen within the past 3 years, including OB/GYN and pediatrics. 

If you can’t schedule an appointment with a provider, it may be because: 

• You haven't seen your provider within the last 3 years or don't have an upcoming appointment scheduled.  
• Only certain appointment types are available for online scheduling.  
• The type of appointment you’re trying to schedule requires more time than available time slots allow. 
• The provider does not use MyAtriumHealth scheduling tools.  

In any of these cases, it’s best to call your provider’s office directly to schedule your appointment.  

You can use MyAtriumHealth to view certain health information, such as appointments and messages, from organizations outside of Atrium Health. Learn more.

• Sign in to the MyAtriumHealth website or mobile app. From the main menu, go to Link My Accounts. Search for the organization you wish to link and follow the steps to login and complete the set up.
• If you are a patient of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, much of your historical data will be available in MyAtriumHealth starting in February 2024 without further action required.

Yes. You may send a non-urgent message to your doctor's office through MyAtriumHealth. From the main menu, go to Messages and then choose Send a message.

Please allow two business days for a response. MyAtriumHealth should not be used for urgent situations. In case of an emergency, please call 911.

Messages from MyAtriumHealth are sent to nurses who work with your health care team. The nurse may respond or may send your message on to your provider. All messages become part of your medical record.

Your health record includes Current Medications, Allergies, Immunizations, Health Issues, Surgeries, and Procedures. Within MyAtriumHealth, you may also see Medical and Family History, Test Results, and Preventive Care recommendations. MyAtriumHealth does not show the entire medical record.

To request medical records in MyAtriumHealth, sign in and select Menu then choose Request Medical Records. Follow the prompts to select the records you need to request. You can also call the Medical Records Department at 704-667-9500 or toll-free at 844-383-2109. Learn more about requesting your medical records.

Some results are ready on the same day; other results may take a few days. When the result is available, we release it to you online immediately. Sometimes, this means that you may see your results BEFORE your provider has seen them. Please understand that we look at every test result.

At Atrium Health, we believe sharing real-time information empowers you to take control of your health on your time. Some patients choose to look at this information right away while others choose to wait until their care team contacts them. Health information can be confusing. If you have a hard time understanding your results or you see something in a note that concerns you, please write down your questions and ask your provider when you see them or send a message to your doctor in MyAtriumHealth.

If you have questions about your lab or test results, please send your provider a message through MyAtriumHealth. From the main menu, go to Messages and then choose Send a message. 

If you use an Atrium Health Pharmacy, you can request refills in MyAtriumHealth. You can also track how many refills you have remaining and request a new prescription. For prescriptions filled through another pharmacy, contact them directly for refill requests.

Yes, we take great care to make sure your health information is private and secure. MyAtriumHealth follows HIPAA laws and uses encryption technology on your records.

Here are more tips to make sure your information is safe:

• Choose a password that is easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess.
• Use two-step verification – which is enabled by default for all MyAtriumHealth users – to secure health information.

MyAtriumHealth works best with the latest desktop and mobile Web browsers. On a Mac, Safari and Chrome work best. On a PC, use Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox.

To keep your health information safe and secure, MyAtriumHealth uses a two-step verification (also called Multi-Factor Authentication) that requires you to enter a security code to confirm your identity.

If you choose to “Skip this step next time,” frequent users of MyAtriumHealth will only need to do two-step verification periodically.

We recommend that patients select email as their preferred method to receive a code. Patients should not see a delay receiving a code through email. If you are still not receiving a code, please call MyAtriumHealth Support at 855-799-0044 to confirm your correct email or mobile phone number is on file.
