Pre-Registration for MyUPMC Users

UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh now offers families a faster check-in process with pre-registration. In preparation for your appointment, you’ll receive an email, text message, and/or MyUPMC push notification prompting you to complete the pre-registration process.

Pre-registration allows you to:

  • Electronically sign documents.
  • Complete questionnaires.
  • Verify insurance information.

After you pre-registration is completed, you’ll receive an email, text message, and/or MyUPMC push notification 15 minutes prior to your schedule appointment. To let the office know you’ve arrived in the waiting area, tap the “I’ve Arrived” button. If you don’t receive an email, text message, and/or MyUPMC push notification, please stop by the front desk to make sure you have completed all steps of the pre-registration process before having a seat.
