How do you plan on joining your visit?
What is MyChart or MyJeffersonHealth?
MyJeffersonHealth’s patient portal allows you to use a mobile app or the website to connect to your video visit with your physician. The portal also gives you free, online access to your Jefferson Health medical record, 24/7. Through a secure, internet connection, you can use your MyJeffersonHealth account to conveniently manage and receive information about your health.
To join your video visit, you must have an active MyJeffersonHealth account.
In addition, must activate your account at least one day in advance of your visit, to minimize the possibility of any last minute technical challenges.
If you do not yet have a MyJeffersonHealth account, please call 1-800-JEFF-NOW or the MyChart Helpline at 215-503-5700. A representative will send you an instant activation link.
