Disclosure of Sex Assigned at Birth
Why We Are Asking
As of July 1, 2024, Cass Health and all healthcare organizations across the country are required to record every patient’s sex assigned at birth due to a new rule from the federal government. You may choose to not disclose this information, and in our medical record system, your sex assigned at birth will say “choose not to disclose.”
Why This Matters for Your Health
If you choose not to disclose, then our electronic medical record, EPIC, will not have the proper health maintenance topics for cancer screenings and your lab result values may not accurately reflect the expected normal ranges.
For example, if you were born with female anatomy and are listed as a female, our records will indicate that you would need screenings for cervical cancer and breast cancer. If you were born with female anatomy and choose not to disclose that information, then those screenings will not be a part of your care plan.
Additionally, certain lab tests have different normal value ranges for men and women, which may give you incorrect information about your test results.
Why This Matters to Your Healthcare Provider
Our goal is to work with you to achieve your best possible health. By knowing the full picture of your health history, we have better information to help us make decisions together about what screenings you need, and whether your lab values are of concern.

Two-Factor Authentication
Using the most advanced security to protect your private health information is important to us. Beginning January 23, 2024, your MyChart account will require two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication helps to keep your account secure if someone learns your password.
What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication is a security measure that uses two steps to verify your identity. These steps typically include the use of your password as well as a code that is sent to you by email or text message.
How often will I need a new code to log in to MyChart?
You will need a new login code at least every 90 days for each device you use to log in to MyChart.
Can I turn two-factor authentication off?
Yes. Follow the steps below to turn two-factor authentication off or on. We recommend keeping it on for better security.
When logging on from a web browser:
- Log in to your MyChart account.
- From the home page, select Your Menu.
- Scroll to Security Settings.
- On the Security Settings page, click the Turn on two-step verification button.

- Log in to your mobile app.

- Scroll to Account Settings.

What happens if I don’t receive my code via phone or email?
If you do not receive your code right away, please be patient. It may take up to 15 minutes.
- If you’ve requested your code by email and do not receive it within 15 minutes, be sure to check your spam folder or consider requesting your code by text message.

A Note about Test Results in MyChart
You may see test results in MyChart before your provider.
We believe that sharing information builds trust and stronger relationships. Most test results are published immediately in MyChart, which means you may see results even before your provider.
- Some results may be difficult to understand without explanation. It’s often best to discuss these together.
- We look at every result and will contact you with any results that concern us.
- If we have a critical concern, we will always follow up with you right away.
- If you have an urgent concern, we encourage you to reach out to us.
