CPCMG MyChart and video visits
Short answer: CPCMG uses the Rady Children’s MyChart portal for scheduling, messaging, records and bills, and offers two kinds of video visit that both require a MyChart account[1][2].
What is MyChart at CPCMG?
CPCMG calls MyChart a secure, free portal to request and schedule appointments, message the pediatrician, review medications and lab results, request refills, pay bills and request records[1]. It says CPCMG patients use the same Rady Children’s MyChart account as Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego[1].
How does a family sign up?
CPCMG says an activation code is needed, requested through the pediatrician’s office, with a separate code for each child and valid government-issued ID. Proxy access for parents covers some information for patients up to age 18, and teen accounts are available from age 12 under state privacy law[1].
What video visit options does CPCMG list?
CPCMG lists “My Pediatrician” video visits, where the family chooses the pediatrician, and “Children’s Virtual Care”, seen by a board-certified CPCMG pediatrician or pediatric nurse practitioner, Monday to Friday 8am to 9pm and weekends 8am to 8pm including holidays; both require an active MyChart account[2]. CPCMG describes video visits for select symptoms[3].
