The Patient’s Legal Representative must complete the ezAccess Adult Proxy Form* and submit a copy of the legal document that authorizes them to act on behalf of the patient with it.

* Please complete the proxy forms for an adult or minor, then email the completed forms with the requested documentation to concordemedicalrecords@northwell.edu or fax them to (212) 253-9631.

If you are unable to complete documents electronically, or are unable to print and complete, please call your provider’s office and a copy will be mailed to you.

 

ezAccess overview

In this tab, you’ll see information about your care team, conditions, medications, allergies, and recent treatments, including:

  • Immunizations and allergies*
  • Problems*
  • Medications*
  • Orders
  • Vital signs and Results (found under Chart Documents and/or Medical Documents)

Many results for tests performed by Northwell Health Radiology centers are available here.

In some cases, you may see your test results in ezAccess before your health care provider does. In this case, remember that some results may be hard for you to interpret without guidance from your health care provider. But you can expect all your results to be reviewed with you by members of your care team, who will continue to provide follow-up and responses to all your questions.

In this tab, you’ll find health documents generated during and after your patient visits.

Please note that the From Date is defaulted to one year prior, but you can view past documents by changing the From Date.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How else are my medical records used?
Medical records are necessary for obtaining insurance authorization and payment. It’s our duty to indicate medical necessity for the care we provide. As a result, your symptoms, and the challenges you face may be highlighted in your documentation.

What if information is missing or a specific document/result is not available or accessible?
Please note there may be times your account doesn’t contain all your medical records because of technical limitations. Please contact your provider’s office by sending a portal message or by phone during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

How can adolescent patients between 13 and 17 years old get their medical records?
Please complete and submit a medical record request form. Currently, proxy access is not available for children between the ages of 13 and 18 years old.

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a Northwell Health patient who is under the age of 13, you can request proxy access to your child’s health information in the ezAccess patient portal.

How often do passwords expire?

What if information is missing or a specific document/result is not available or accessible?

Please note there may be times your ezAccess portal account does not contain all your medical records under the “Medical” or “Documents” sections because of technical limitations. There are times that those records will need to be retrieved from a separate application that is not directly connected to our electronic medical records system. Please contact your provider’s office for any records you do not have immediate access to by sending a portal message or by phone during regular business hours, Monday – Friday, 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

What if I find information in my record that requires modification or correction?
Patients have a right to request amendments of their health information. Please contact your provider’s office by sending a portal message or by phone to request an amendment.

What if I don’t want to read my medical records?
We do encourage you to proactively manage your health information through our portal. It is recommended that you discuss your use of the patient portal with your healthcare provider to maintain clear communication.

Will signing up for the portal affect my confidentiality and privacy?
Portal access does not change the confidential relationship you have with your health care team. Only you can access your medical records unless you request to provide portal access to another individual.
