A free tool for understanding what exists about you.

MyChartCount is a free public-interest web tool that helps any American understand how many medical records exist about them across the US healthcare system, and what they can do with that knowledge.

Why it exists.

The average American adult has received medical care at dozens of different facilities over their life: pediatricians, urgent care clinics, hospitals in cities they no longer live in, specialists seen once, pharmacies from before a move. Each interaction produced records. Almost none of those records are connected by default. A new primary care doctor typically has access to less than 30% of a patient's actual medical history at a first visit.

Most people have never been told this. They find out only when it causes a problem: a duplicate test, a missed diagnosis, a medication error. The Institute of Medicine estimates that 1 in 5 Americans experience one of these problems every year, and the US healthcare system spends an estimated $1.7 billion annually on tests that have already been performed elsewhere.

MyChartCount addresses the first step of that problem: awareness. Using a short quiz based on national actuarial averages, we give you an estimate of how many medical records likely exist about you and how many different systems they're spread across. That awareness is the first step toward doing something about it.

Who operates it.

MyChartCount.com is operated by Synergyix Healthcare Solutions LLC. We are not a healthcare provider, a health insurer, or a HIPAA Covered Entity. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal health information. The estimator runs entirely in your browser. No data about your answers leaves your device.

What we believe.

Every American has a federal right to their own medical records under the 21st Century Cures Act and CMS Patient Access API mandate. Most people don't know this. We believe making that right easy to understand and exercise is a public good, regardless of what happens commercially with the site. The awareness MyChartCount creates is valuable whether you ever use any service we eventually recommend.
