Accessing your medical history shouldn't require a medical degree. The My IU Health portal gives Indiana University Health patients a centralized digital hub to view lab results, communicate with care teams, pay medical bills, and schedule appointments. Whether you're trying to figure out how to sign in for the first time or troubleshooting a locked account, this guide covers everything you need to navigate the platform smoothly.
To access your account right away, navigate to the official IU Health Patient Portal. Make sure your browser has JavaScript and cookies enabled, as blocking them will prevent the sign-in page from loading properly.
How to Complete Your My IU Health Portal Login
Signing into your account takes just a few moments once you have your credentials ready. Follow these steps to log in via a web browser:
- Open your preferred web browser and go to the login portal.
- Type the email address associated with your account into the email field.
- Enter your secure password.
- Click the sign-in button to access your dashboard.
If you prefer using a mobile device, you can download the official My IU Health app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Keep in mind that mobile users frequently note the app requires frequent re-authentication for security purposes, so keep your password handy.
Setting Up a New Account
If you don't have an account yet, setting one up links your digital profile directly to your medical history. You will need an activation code provided during a recent clinic visit, or you can request assistance by contacting support.
To create your profile:
- Go to the main login page and click the option to create a new account.
- Provide your personal identifiers, including your legal name, date of birth, and contact information. Ensure these details match your clinic records precisely.
- Enter your activation code if prompted, or verify your identity using standard verification questions.
- Choose a strong, unique password and set up your communication preferences for future security codes.
Troubleshooting Login and Password Issues
Technical hiccups happen. If you find yourself locked out, you don't necessarily have to call support immediately. Here is how to fix common access roadblocks:
- Forgotten Passwords: Click the forgot password link on the login screen. Type in your account email address and click send verification code. Check your inbox for the code to reset your credentials.
- Forgotten Usernames: Your username is always the email address you used to register. If you've lost access to that email entirely, you must call support to update your profile.
- Browser Blocks: If the page loops or refuses to load, check your browser settings. Strict privacy extensions or blocking cookies will block authentication tokens. Try clearing your cache or switching to an updated browser version.
For issues that automated resets can't fix, contact the dedicated My IU Health support team directly at 317.963.1661, available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

- Appointment Management: View upcoming clinic visits, check arrival instructions, and self-schedule appointments with select participating providers.
- Billing and Payments: Review current statements, check itemized details, and pay outstanding balances securely online.
- Test Results Access: View lab reports, diagnostic imaging summaries, and clinical notes as soon as providers release them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I manage my child's medical records through my account?
Yes. Parents and legal guardians can request proxy access to a child's records for dependents aged 13 and younger. You can request this linkage during your child's next in-person clinic appointment or by calling support.
Why am I being logged out of the mobile app so often?
Healthcare applications enforce strict session timeouts to protect sensitive personal health information. If your screen locks or you switch to another app for too long, the system requires a fresh login for security compliance.
How do I grant a family member access to my health portal?
To give a spouse, caregiver, or family member access to your medical information, you must authorize it through your provider's office or by contacting the main support line. Both parties will need to verify their identities.
What should I do if my lab results are missing from the portal?
Providers typically review lab results before they populate in your feed. If a specific test result isn't showing up after a few days, reach out directly to the ordering physician's office for clarification.
