How do I get an itemized medical invoice from MyChart?
What is MyChart?
MyChart is a free, secure online portal offered by many healthcare providers, especially larger physician groups and hospitals. It connects you to your electronic medical records (EMR) and allows you to schedule appointments, view test results, access billing information and more. It's also a convenient way to download your itemized medical invoices, which Sidecar Health needs to process your medical claims and accurately apply your benefits.
Accessing MyChart
Check if your provider uses MyChart, sign up or log in.
Not all healthcare organizations use MyChart. If your healthcare provider isn't listed, they might offer a different patient portal and you can contact them directly about accessing your account.
Using MyChart for itemized medical invoices
If your provider has set up MyChart to include your itemized medical invoices, you can download them directly without contacting them or waiting for mailed copies. This can save you time and expedite your benefit processing with Sidecar Health.
⚠️ Important note: ensure invoices are complete.
Learn what an itemized medical invoice should include.
Some providers might not have comprehensive itemized invoices available in MyChart. Their invoices may only show the billed amounts without service details, which isn't enough for Sidecar Health to determine your benefits. In such cases, contact your provider directly or wait for a more detailed invoice to be mailed.

💡Final tip: download the invoice before paying.
It's important to download your itemized invoice before making a payment in MyChart. Different hospital systems use MyChart differently, and some invoices might disappear after payment is made.
