How to opt out of CCHC?

If they choose, your doctor and other care providers will still be able to use the Health Information Exchange to have your lab results, radiology reports and other data sent directly to them; previously, they may have received this information by fax, mail, or other electronic communication. To Opt Out, please download, fill out the form, and send back to CCHC’s Help Desk via email cchc-help@centralcoasthealthconnect.org or fax (831) 644-7451.

How old do you have to be to access CCHC?

Parents have the ability to view their child’s health information, within the CCHC patient portal, for children up to age 10. Due to various state and federal laws regarding sensitive and private health data for minors, CCHC is configured to allow parents access to his/her child up to, but not including, age 10. Once the child turns 10, the parent will no longer be able to access the child’s record in CCHC – and will need to contact the healthcare provider directly to request copies of records. Please call or email the CCHC Help Desk and ask for assistance with adding a “dependent account” to your current primary CCHC patient portal account if you have a child under 10.

If you are seen at a participating hospital and provide your email address upon registration, you will automatically receive an email invitation following your visit.

CCHC’s policies and procedures prevent unauthorized access to the HIE, ensuring that only pre-approved individuals can view your information.
