To prevent receiving notifications from both MyChart and the new MyOchsner app:
• If you’re using MyChart to manage care only at Ochsner, simply delete the MyChart app from your mobile device.

Virtual Visits through MyOchsner
For several types of appointments, your provider may be able to see you virtually in a visit through MyOchsner.
What is a Virtual Visit?
A virtual visit is a secure video appointment with your provider via your smartphone, tablet, laptop and/or desktop computer. This allows patients to conduct a traditional office visit with their provider electronically through the MyOchsner app or website portal without leaving home or work.
Convenient primary and specialty care virtual visits are available. Review frequently asked questions for virtual visits:

How much is a Virtual Visit?
The patient’s insurance will be billed for the virtual visit. Contact your insurance provider for covered benefits.
What are the technical requirements for a Virtual Visit?
- You must have a smartphone, mobile tablet, laptop and/or desktop computer.
- Microphone and webcam capabilities on your device
- If using a mobile phone or tablet, you will need:
- iOS or Android operating system
- The MyOchsner app installed and Ochsner Health selected as your healthcare provider
- You can find the MyOchsner app in the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play Store (Android).
- If you do not plan to be at home during your virtual visit, we recommend finding a private, quiet spot for your appointment. Avoid conducting your visit in your vehicle, especially while driving. A car may not be appropriate for your type of visit, as your provider may need you to move or adjust position during your visit.
