MyChart Video Visit Instructions
Virtual Visits
Each patient's provider team will determine if the visit is clinically appropriate to be performed virtually. It also depends on where the patient is located. Every state has different laws regarding video visits. It’s important to talk to your care team to learn what may be available and best for you.
Video visits allow you to interact with your provider through live video and audio on your own device. You will be able to talk to your provider, similar to an office visit, by using your smartphone, tablet or computer to connect through MyChart. You will need an active MyChart account. If you need help setting that up, contact askMDAnderson at 1-855-516-0971.
We recommend that you use the MyChart mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. You can download the free MyChart mobile app from the App Store or Google Play. You will also need to download Zoom (app name: ZOOM Cloud Meetings) to your device. If you need assistance with MyChart, call askMDAnderson at 1-855-516-0971.
Follow the steps in the Online MyChart Video Visit instructions to connect to your video visit. You can access them in your appointment reminders. You also can access instructions using the MyChart mobile app or MyChart.MDAnderson.org. Go to Education Document Library or Education Video Library. Search for MyChart Video Visit Instructions to locate the PDF or video.
