OhioHealth: How to Access MyChart, Schedule Care, Find Providers, and Pay Bills
Updated
OhioHealth is a not-for-profit healthcare system serving central Ohio since 1891, and its official site is ohiohealth.com. Use it when you need to schedule a visit, log in to MyChart, find a provider or location, or handle billing. The homepage groups these tasks under a few main links, so you can usually reach the right page in one or two clicks.
Start at the official site
Go to ohiohealth.com. The homepage is organized around patient actions rather than a single menu, so look for these entry points:
- Schedule online — booking for primary care, urgent care, OB-GYN, and imaging
- Access MyChart — the patient portal for appointments, records, and messages
- Find the right care — help choosing a service or level of care
- Pay your bill — billing and payment
- Pre-registration and Virtual Health — under the "For Patients" section
The site also lists TTY/TDD telephones (Relay No. 711) for people who need relay access.
Log in to or sign up for MyChart
MyChart is the portal for managing your care online. From the homepage, select Access MyChart.
- If you already have an account, log in with your existing credentials.
- If you're new, you'll need to create an account. OhioHealth typically issues an activation code at a visit or by request; the site's MyChart entry point is where you start that process.
Once inside, MyChart is where you manage appointments, view records, and send messages to your care team. The site does not publish MyChart pricing or access restrictions, so treat account setup as a step you complete through the portal itself.
Schedule a visit online
The homepage shows live scheduling availability by service. In the source material, examples include:
| Service | Availability shown |
|---|---|
| Primary care | 266 providers accepting new patients |
| Urgent care | As soon as today, 8:00 AM |
| OB-GYN | 47 providers accepting new patients |
| Mammogram | As soon as Sep. 25th, 8:00 AM |
To book:
- Select Schedule online or the specific service.
- Choose the service type (primary care, urgent care, OB-GYN, imaging).
- Pick a provider and an available time.
- Confirm your appointment details.
Availability changes in real time, so the counts and times above are examples of what the page displays, not fixed numbers.
Find the right care or a provider
If you're not sure which service you need, use Find the right care. This routes you by service, location, and availability. For provider searches, filter by specialty — the homepage distinguishes between providers accepting new patients and those who are not, which matters if you're establishing care rather than continuing with an existing physician.
For ongoing conditions, the site also highlights specialized programs. One example is the kidney transplant program, described as a single connected team guiding care for people living with kidney disease. Another is the OhioHealth Women's Center, a first-of-its-kind center in central Ohio providing comprehensive care for women at every stage of life, expected to open in 2027.
Pay a bill and review billing resources
Billing lives under Billing & Insurance (ohiohealth.com/billing-insurance). From there you can reach Price Transparency (ohiohealth.com/billing-insurance/pre-visit-financial-checklist/healthcare-estimates-and-pricing) for cost estimates and pricing information.
- Pay your bill — the homepage shortcut for making a payment
- Billing & Insurance — insurance and billing questions
- Price Transparency — estimates and pricing before a visit
The site does not list specific payment platforms, so use the billing page to see the accepted payment methods.
Before your appointment
Two options can save time at check-in:
- Pre-registration — complete registration details ahead of your visit (listed under "For Patients").
- Virtual Health — for visits that can be handled remotely.
Both are reached from the "For Patients" section of the site, alongside the Community Resource Directory and OhioHealth Physician Group.
Other resources on the site
- The Wellness Conversation — an OhioHealth podcast where experts discuss health news and wellness topics
- OhioHealth Foundation, Volunteer, and Careers — for donating, volunteering, or job searches
- Newsroom and About Us — organizational information
- OhioHealth Employer Solutions — for employers
If you reach a page that doesn't match what you need, return to the homepage and use the main patient links rather than searching — they cover scheduling, MyChart, provider search, and billing directly.
