Sentara MyChart

Sentara MyChart is an app for managing your own health information and, as the listing describes, the care of family members. Its supported functions center on a few connected tasks: reading health records, communicating with your care team, keeping track of appointments, and handling bills. Because these tasks sit in one app, you can move between them without opening separate services.

Reviewing health information

The app gives users access to a range of health details. According to the description, these include test results, medications, immunization history, and clinical notes that a provider has shared. The After Visit Summary feature keeps a record of past visits and hospital stays, so you can look back at what happened during an earlier appointment.

Messaging the care team and managing appointments

Users can communicate with their care team directly in the app. The listing presents this as a way to ask questions and request support. The app also lets you schedule and manage appointments. The description covers both in-person visits and video consultations, so the same app can be used whichever format your care requires.

Bills, notifications, and sign-in

The app includes a place to view and pay medical bills, which the description says is kept together with your other health details. Push notifications can alert you when new information becomes available. To begin, you create a Sentara account. You can then turn on fingerprint authentication or set up a passcode for quicker access. The app's tips section says the passcode is four digits and that either option removes the need to enter your Sentara username and password each time you open the app.
