What is MyChildren’s?
MyChildren’s is a convenient, easy to use and secure way to access your child’s health information.
How can I use MyChildren’s?
Using MyChildren’s, you can:
- view portions of your child's/dependent’s health record
- send secure messages to a provider or clinic
- request, cancel, and confirm visits
- view and update your contact information
- view and pay your copays and hospital bills online
Who can participate?
You are eligible if you are:
- a parent or legal guardian of a patient
- patient age 13 and older (Parent/guardians of 13- and 14-year-olds will be notified that an account has been created.)
Creating a MyChildren’s account
How do I request a MyChildren’s account?
To request an account, a patient or guardian can go to mychildrens.org and click Sign up for an account.
What do I need to set up a MyChildren’s account?
- full name of the patient
- address of the patient
- patient’s date of birth
- patient’s medical record number (MRN)
- account invoice number or date of a visit to any Boston Children’s location.
How long does it take to obtain an account?
To protect the privacy of our patients, the data you submit must be checked against our records. Please allow approximately 3 business days for this process.
How can a 13-17 year old get an account?
A 13- to 17-year-old who wants account access must have their own email account. In addition:
- The adolescent cannot view secure messages sent between the parent/guardian and providers.
- The parent/guardian cannot view confidential visits, confidential health information, or secure messages between the adolescent and providers.
- Parent/guardians of 13- and 14-year-olds will be notified that an account has been created.
What happens to the parent/guardian’s account when the patient turns 18?
Prior to the patient’s 18th birthday, several reminders will be sent to the parent/guardian explaining that their access to the account will be terminated. At that time, the patient must set up their own account and assumes responsibility for the account that the parent/guardian had been managing.
My child is over 18 with special needs. Can I set up a MyChildren’s account for them?
Yes, as long as you have guardianship papers on file with the Hospital, you can access your child’s information with your MyChildren’s account.
I’m a foster parent to a child. Can I access their MyChildren’s account?
No, access to a foster child’s account is restricted to a Department of Children & Families (DCF) caseworker (the legal guardian). Only your child’s caseworker can request a MyChildren’s account.

Are there any special criteria for creating a MyChildren’s password?
Your password must include 8-128 characters. It must include one number and one capital letter.
How do I log in to MyChildren’s?

You need to set up a delivery method (email or text), and enter the one time passcode that is sent to you.
Once you’ve set up your security code delivery method, you can click Remember me; if you always use the same computer, you won’t have to enter the security code every time you access MyChildren’s.
I forgot my password. What should I do?
Click the Forgot your password? link. You will receive an email with instructions for changing your password.
Using MyChildren’s
How can I be sure I’ll receive administrative emails from MyChildren’s?
To ensure that email is not sent to your Junk/Spam email folder, you need to add childrens.harvard.edu and bostonchildrens.iqhealth.com to your email browser’s safe list or address book. If you use a third party whitelist service such as Boxbe, be sure to follow that service’s instructions to ensure you receive our emails.
