Creating an account requires an email invitation sent by an IU Health team member at a recent office or hospital visit. Accepting the invitation is a simple process that will only take a few minutes.

Here’s how to create an account from an invitation:

1. Check your email. You should have received an email invitation from My IU Health. If you did not receive the invitation, check your spam or junk folders. To register for My IU Health, open the email and accept the invitation by clicking the “Accept Invitation to My IU Health” link
2. Enter the patient's date of birth and the 4-digit activation code created when you provided your email address
3. Review and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
4. Then, click on “Next, Create Your Account”
5. Enter your new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields
6. Click “Create Account”
7. You'll then have the option to enroll in two-step verification

An activation code is needed as part of the online security measures we have taken to ensure your personal information is protected. For security purposes, your activation code expires 90 days after it was created. This is provided to you when you visit your physician's office.

If you are unable to remember your activation code, please contact My IU Health Patient Portal Support at 317.963.1661, Monday - Friday from 8 am - 4:30 pm EST (excluding major holidays).

You can request access to your child's records at their next appointment if you are their legal guardian and they are 13 years old or younger.

You can also call either their provider's office or My IU Health Patient Portal Support at 317.963.1661, Monday - Friday from 8 am - 4:30 pm EST (excluding major holidays).

Please note: Access to a child's health record will be removed when the child turns 14 years of age. At this point, the patient will need to create a new account via an office invitation and can then invite others to have access to their health records with the assistance from their provider's office.

Creating an account from an email invitation is a simple process that will only take you a few minutes. First, you will need to complete a Health Services Parent/Guardian Consent for Minor Patient Online Access form in order for an IU Health team member to send you an office invitation. If you are unable to have an in-person office visit, you may call My IU Health Patient Portal Support at 317.963.1661 for assistance. Both the parent/guardian and child will need to be present on the call in order to complete the consent form over the phone.
