  You can add the health information of minor children to your portal account. Simply call our portal support line at 518-434-1446 or email portalsupport@certifiedallergy.com to request access as a proxy.

  To protect the privacy of medical information, we’ll undertake steps to verify your identity and/or your right to act as a proxy. Once that has been done, you’ll receive an email from noreply@FollowMyHealth.com. This email will provide information you will need to complete the set up of your account.  Just click on the link contained in the email and you’ll be on your way to creating an account.  Follow these 3 steps to create your account:

  1. Click Sign Up and Connect
  2. Create a User Name and Password
  3. Connect your account, accept the terms of service and enter your invitation code.

  After creating the account, you can also access the portal using an existing log-in you have for Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or Cerner. Rest assured these companies will not have access to your personal health information.  To use an existing log-in: access your portal account, choose the My Account tab, select Preferences, and then choose Sign-in Preferences to add the account.

• Who can have a portal account?

  Patients of our practice age 18 years and older are eligible for an account. Parents and guardians of minor children up to 18 can also have an account known as a “proxy”. The medical information of multiple family members can be managed through one portal account maintained by an adult family member. It’s also possible for both parents (or guardians) to have separate accounts to which minor children are linked.

  If you request a proxy account for a minor child (under age 18) you will have access to their full medical record until they reach age 18. Once the child reaches 18, you will only have access to historical information and will be unable to view any new medical information. At age 18, children need to create their own portal account to access their information. After doing so, they can grant access to parents or guardians by contacting our office.

  In certain instances, adults may have a proxy account for the health information of another adult. This typically requires the consent of the adult whose information will be maintained in the account. In cases where an adult patient may be mentally impaired or in need of supervision, access to patient information may be granted to a responsible adult without consent.
