What is a "proxy" access for a health record?

Proxy access allows a guardian or other legally authorized adult to log into Sea Mar's Online Health Record via FollowMyHealth and connect to the account of a family member or another person. Proxy access is provided when the patient is unable to create their own portal account or at the request of the adult patient.

If you are a proxy for patient over the age of 18, you will have access to their medical record, and depending on the level of access, the ability to message providers and refill prescriptions.

If you wish to gain access to an adult's medical information, you will need to request a proxy account at one of our Sea Mar medical clinics.

What paperwork do I need to have?

In most instances, you will need to provide legal documentation to establish your right to act as the personal representative of the adult patient. Examples of legal documentation include legal guardianship and durable power of attorney for healthcare. Please provide copies to one of our Sea Mar medical clinics.

When will I be given access?

For the protection of our patients, proxy accounts will be granted to people who have the legal right to request medical information on behalf of our patient. Because this must be verified through our Health Information Management Department, proxy accounts may take longer to complete.

What type of access will be given?

There are two levels of access, please see below for details.
Read Only Access: The proxy holder is able to view the patient account, but cannot make changes on the patient’s behalf nor use My Health Messaging.
Full Access: Proxy holders have full functionality of the patient account. All minor proxy holders for patients under the age of 12 receive Full Access.

How do I sign up?

To request a proxy account, please fill out the proxy form with the requested level of access. Please drop off the completed form in person at our one of our Sea Mar medical clinic and bring proof of identification. When the document has been verified, you will receive a proxy account invitation via the email address you provide on the form.
