Authentication is the process that allows you to connect your MyOSCAR account with a Health Care Provider or Clinic. This process is necessary to confirm that you are the person who owns and has access to your MyOSCAR account. There are three different levels of authentication:

Level 1: Self-manage and personally enter information (no authentication required)

Level 2: Self-manage and personally enter information, securely message the clinic and book appointments online (in person authentication not required; mail, fax or email a signed copy of the Health Information Sharing Consent Form* to your Health Care Provider or Clinic)

Level 3: Self-manage and personally enter information, securely message the clinic, book appointments online and receive all documents and features listed in the table  (authenticate in person and present a signed copy of the Health Information Sharing Consent Form* to your Health Care Provider or Clinic )

There are two options for authentication:

Option 1: Online set-up and in-person authentication (Level 3 Authentication)

  1. Watch the MyOSCAR video tutorial explaining the setup, consent and data sharing processes
  2. Print off the online Health Information Sharing Consent Form and sign
  3. Present the Health Information Sharing Consent Form and a photo ID in person to a clinic receptionist (note:  the receptionists must verify your identity)
  4. Once the administrator has verified your ID in person, your account will be fully authenticated at Level 3.

Option 2: Online set-up and mail, fax or email authentication (Level 2 Authentication)

  1. Follow steps 1 to 3 above in option 1
  2. Mail, fax or email your Health Information Sharing Consent Form to one of the participating clinics and someone from the clinic will call you to verify your ID
  3. Once the administrator has verified your ID by phone, your account will have Level 2 authentication.
