E-Visit, a feature inside your MyChart account, is a convenient way to securely submit a question regarding a health concern and receive a response from your provider, with either a treatment plan or the next steps for your care.
If your provider orders an E-Visit after reviewing your medical question, you will answer a series of questions about your current symptoms and/or concerns. After reviewing your responses – along with a review of your medical history – your provider will send you a message with the recommended next steps for your care, possibly saving you the time of a video visit or an in-person visit.

After you submit a medical question, a provider will review the information. If the condition is treatable by an E-Visit, the provider will order an E-Visit appointment. This will begin the process of collecting more information through questionnaires, resulting with the physician providing a diagnosis and treatment plan. If the condition is more appropriate for an in-person appointment, the provider will respond with this recommendation.
No. E-Visits are asynchronous, meaning the visit does not take place in real-time. There is no face-to-face component to the visit; however, patients can attach a photo to messages if desired.
Return to MyChart and go to the Messaging Center to then find your provider’s response with instructions for the treatment plan. If a prescription is part of the treatment plan, please refer to your Medications page to get more details on the prescription.
E-Visits are available to patients with a My Memorial Hermann™ account currently located in the state of Texas. If the E-Visit is for a minor, the parent or legal guardian must also have an account linked to the minor’s account.
If you need to create an account, email DigitalSupport@memorialhermann.org or call (713) 222-CARE (2273) from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.
