Earlier this month, Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) implemented an exciting new GHCMyChartSM tool called MyChart Central. This feature allows members to use just one account with one username and password to manage their care across multiple participating health care systems.   

This means that GHC-SCW members will have access to all of their MyChart portal accounts in one location!  

What is this new tool? 

MyChart Central is a new patient-focused login system that enables patients to access their own health records from multiple organizations using a single username and password.  By using one centralized sign-in, patients will be able to manage their care and health records across participating organizations more quickly and easily. 

MyChart Central also makes it easier for patients to communicate with providers, share their health records and update their contact information. 

What does it mean for members? 

For members who receive care from more than one health care organization, MyChart Central lets patients link their accounts so one single login can access them all. For example, a patient can update their address once in MyChart Central and elect to update it across all linked organizations. 

This tool is fully available to all GHC-SCW members and can link providers from GHC-SCW, UW Health and SSM/Dean with more organizations to join soon. Additionally, the new single sign in function is compatible with many health apps like Fitbit, Apple Health, Google Health and others.  

How to Access This Tool 

To access MyChart Central, GHC-SCW members will need an existing GHCMyChartSM account.  

  1. Visit central.mychart.org  and select Sign up to get started. 
  1. From within your GHCMyChartSM account, go to Link My Accounts and select Get Started under Connect with MyChart Central. 

Once set up, you’ll be able to sign in with a single username and password whenever you visit your MyChart accounts across participating health systems. If needed, members will still be able to log in to their accounts separately after connecting to MyChart Central.  

Why It Matters 

“At GHC-SCW, we believe that health care is better when it’s easier for you to access”, said Annette Fox, GHC-SCW Chief Information Officer, “MyChart Central is another step toward simplifying the patient experience, making sure our members have what they need at their fingertips, whether that’s checking lab results, managing appointments or updating contact information.” 

Wednesday, September 24 Update:

Based on Governor Tony Evers’ statewide Executive Order, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) issued a statewide standing medical order that allows those over 6 months old who want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to get it at pharmacies across the state without a prescription. This means members can receive the vaccine at Hy-Vee and Costco, covered by GHC-SCW. The Moderna COVID vaccine is now available at all GHC-SCW clinics.* Please refrain from scheduling at the Madison College Clinic unless it is your Primary Clinic.

*The vaccine will be given while supplies last and is never guaranteed due to limited supply and demand.

Eligibility:

Anyone 6 months or older may receive the COVID-19 vaccine, per Gov. Evers Executive Order. (No one has to be over 65 years or older, or immunocompromised, to receive this vaccine, like in the past.)

If you are 65 or older, the CDC recommends you receive the COVID-19 vaccine as part of your routine care. You do not need to have a special conversation with your care team. If you are due for your COVID-19 vaccine, you can get it when supply is available!

If you are under 65, the CDC states that COVID-19 vaccination is based on “shared decision-making.” This means the vaccine is available to you, provided you have had a conversation with your primary care provider team to confirm the vaccine is correct for you.

Coverage: GHC-SCW will cover this year’s COVID-19 vaccine.

GHC-SCW Clinics:

Pharmacies: Pharmacies operate under different regulations than health systems, which has allowed some to begin receiving vaccine shipments earlier. For example, Walgreens has already started offering the COVID-19 vaccine; however, GHC-SCW does not contract with Walgreens for vaccine administration. Our contracted pharmacies (Hy-Vee and Costco) are now offering the vaccine; it will be covered under your GHC-SCW benefits and no prescription is needed.

Previous COVID-19 vaccine: Last year’s COVID-19 vaccine is no longer being offered at our GHC-SCW clinics or at our partner pharmacies. It does not match currently circulating virus strains and receiving it now could delay your eligibility for the updated vaccine.

We are committed to keeping you informed and will share updates on this page and in upcoming member communications as soon as new information is available.
