Appointments, Reminders, and Care-Team Messages
Appointments and care-team communication form the app’s everyday workflow. Patients can review upcoming visits, follow personalized reminders, and send non-urgent messages to the clinicians or staff involved in their care. The same hub is useful for follow-up questions, preparation notes, and keeping a conversation attached to the right visit instead of relying on scattered phone calls.
For eligible appointments, MyUCDavisHealth also supports video-visit preparation and entry. ePre Check-In can help users complete questionnaires, sign documents, and handle a copay before connecting, while early-join options give patients time to check their device. These tools fit routine follow-ups, specialty care, and other visits that UC Davis Health makes available online.
Results, Medications, and Health History
Health information is organized into practical records rather than a single summary. Users can review laboratory and test results, read after-visit summaries, and revisit parts of their medical history from a phone. Medication lists, refillable prescriptions, immunization history, allergies, and care notes give patients a clearer view of what has been recorded between appointments.
The record view is especially useful when preparing for a conversation with a clinician or checking what changed after a visit. Open Notes access can make many visit or hospital notes available alongside results, while built-in health-education resources help explain unfamiliar terms. Availability depends on what UC Davis Health publishes to the individual patient record.
Prescription Refills and Bill Management
Prescription and billing tools turn the portal into a practical care-management companion. Patients can request refills for eligible medications, review delivery options when offered, and keep a request moving without a separate phone call. The app also provides access to medical bills and payment workflows, helping users check balances or complete a supported payment task from the same health account.
These functions are most helpful for recurring care: checking a refill after a visit, reviewing instructions before ordering, or handling an outstanding bill while appointment details are nearby. MyUCDavisHealth is built around a patient’s own UC Davis Health record, so the options displayed can vary with the person’s care relationship, medication status, and account permissions.
Family Access, Health Tracking, and Video Visits
Family and self-tracking tools extend the portal beyond the individual appointment. Authorized users can access a family member’s health information when the care relationship allows it, while integrations such as Google Fit can add activity, nutrition, sleep, and other wellness data to the medical record. This gives patients a more continuous view of daily patterns alongside clinical results.
The app also suits people who need care between visits: a parent coordinating family care, a patient checking a result on the go, or someone preparing for a supported video consultation. Use it for organization and communication, not emergency treatment; urgent symptoms still require appropriate medical help. Data availability and connected services depend on the patient’s account and UC Davis Health.
