Med­ical Care Through MyChart: Fre­quent­ly Asked Questions

Who is Duly Health and Care?

Our Part­ner in Deliv­er­ing Extra­or­di­nary Care

In Sep­tem­ber 2021, The South Bend Clin­ic (SBC) joined Duly Health and Care based in Chica­go, Illi­nois — the Mid­west­’s largest inde­pen­dent, mul­ti-spe­cial­ty physi­cian-led med­ical group. Over the past 50 years, Duly has grown to serve com­mu­ni­ties across Chicagoland, earn­ing a rep­u­ta­tion for high-qual­i­ty, acces­si­ble care close-to-home. Like The South Bend Clin­ic, our part­ners at Duly believe in the pow­er of provider-led care.

Our shared phi­los­o­phy and close part­ner­ship will fur­ther SBC’s mis­sion to deliv­er patient-cen­tered care, increase invest­ments in local ser­vices, and cre­ate ini­tia­tives that help Michi­ana res­i­dents live health­i­er, hap­pi­er lives.

We are excit­ed to offer a new tool to help you stay con­nect­ed to your care, wher­ev­er you are. The Duly Health and Care app, pow­ered by EPIC MyChart, allows you to access your per­son­al health infor­ma­tion and man­age your fam­i­ly’s care online. Hav­ing one com­plete med­ical record also helps your providers coor­di­nate your care more efficiently. 

Stay con­nect­ed to your health

Access­ing your health infor­ma­tion should not be lim­it­ed to busi­ness hours. That’s why we offer the Duly Health and Care app, pro­vid­ing online access to your elec­tron­ic med­ical record (EMR) and a con­ve­nient way to com­mu­ni­cate with your whole health care team. From view­ing test results, pay­ing your bill and refill­ing pre­scrip­tions, the Duly app offers you easy access to your med­ical team and health infor­ma­tion when­ev­er and wher­ev­er you are.

Is the Duly app appro­pri­ate for urgent matters? 

Please do not use the Duly app to send any mes­sages requir­ing imme­di­ate atten­tion. For urgent med­ical mat­ters, please call your doc­tor’s office. 

Is the Duly app secure? 

We take great care to ensure your health infor­ma­tion is kept pri­vate and secure. Access to infor­ma­tion is con­trolled through per­son­al IDs and pass­words. The Duly app uses the lat­est encryp­tion tech­nol­o­gy. All mes­sag­ing is done while you are secure­ly logged on to our web­site or the Duly mobile app. 

How will I know when my infor­ma­tion is updat­ed in the Duly app?

When you first login to the Duly app, you pro­vide an email address for alerts. These alerts will not con­tain spe­cif­ic infor­ma­tion from your account; rather they are noti­fi­ca­tions that you have updat­ed infor­ma­tion to review in the app (such as new test results, a mes­sage or appoint­ment reminder). 

Can I also see my fam­i­ly mem­bers’ health records? 

Yes, this is called ​“proxy” access. For a child under 12, this allows a par­ent or legal guardian to log into their per­son­al Duly app account, and view infor­ma­tion regard­ing their child. Per State and Fed­er­al guide­lines, after the child becomes 12 the par­ent will still have access to appoint­ments and be able to send mes­sages but will have lim­it­ed access to the child’s med­ical record infor­ma­tion; full access can be grant­ed to a child’s record for a child between the ages of 12 — 17; child, par­ent and wit­ness sig­na­tures are required on the Minor Proxy Form. 

Once the child turns 18, the par­ent can get access to the patien­t’s med­ical record infor­ma­tion with the patien­t’s autho­riza­tion. It is also pos­si­ble to request access to anoth­er adult’s health records if you help man­age the adult’s med­ical care. 

How do I sign-up for the Duly app? 

Com­plete the online sign up form at http://​mychart​.dupagemd​.net/​M​y​C​h​a​r​t​/​S​ignup and fol­low the instructions. 

What if I need more infor­ma­tion than is avail­able through the Duly app?

If you need more infor­ma­tion than what is avail­able through the Duly app, please vis­it our Med­ical Records Requests page to com­plete the Autho­riza­tion for Release of Health Infor­ma­tion Form.
