Portal Updates In Central & Northwest Pa. or Nearby Areas


phone in hand

On October 3, UPMC will complete the final phase of transitioning to a single portal. This update will happen automatically and will not require any action from you—all that’s changing is the name. We appreciate your patience throughout this process.


Here's what to expect:

  • On October 3, 2026, the MyChart app and portal.upmc.com will update automatically.
  • The name of the portal will change from UPMC Patient Portal to MyUPMC.
  • You will be able to log in to the updated portal using your existing UPMC Patient Portal username and password.
  • Your same UPMC providers and health information will be available in the new MyUPMC, plus any from care you may receive at locations in Southwest Pa.

From now until October 3, continue to use the UPMC Patient Portal to manage your UPMC care in Central Pa., Northwest Pa., Maryland, and New York. If you see providers in these areas but do not have a portal account, visit the UPMC Patient Portal and choose “Sign Up” to get started.
