WEBVTT 00:01.980 --> 00:03.758 Learn how Department of Defense 00:03.758 --> 00:05.536 certified surrogates can access 00:05.536 --> 00:07.591 electronic health records and manage 00:07.591 --> 00:10.220 care for other DOD beneficiaries . In 00:10.220 --> 00:12.387 this video , we'll walk through what a 00:12.387 --> 00:14.510 DOD certified surrogate is , how to 00:14.510 --> 00:16.409 become one , and how to access 00:16.409 --> 00:18.131 electronic health records as a 00:18.131 --> 00:20.530 surrogate . A surrogate is someone who 00:20.530 --> 00:22.697 is legally authorized to act on behalf 00:22.697 --> 00:25.309 of another person for specific purposes . 00:25.610 --> 00:27.499 A surrogate does not have to be a 00:27.499 --> 00:29.610 family member . There are 3 different 00:29.610 --> 00:31.721 types of surrogates , including legal 00:31.721 --> 00:33.721 guardians , healthcare agents , and 00:33.721 --> 00:37.650 special guardians . If you need 00:37.650 --> 00:40.090 to access DOD electronic health records 00:40.090 --> 00:42.146 for someone else , you must first be 00:42.146 --> 00:43.923 certified as a surrogate by the 00:43.923 --> 00:46.049 Department of Defense . This process 00:46.049 --> 00:49.610 uses DD Form 3005 and the Defense 00:49.610 --> 00:51.943 Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System , 00:52.090 --> 00:54.979 or DEERS . Applicable laws such as 00:54.979 --> 00:57.930 state law will allow surrogacy . Once 00:57.930 --> 01:00.097 you're a DOD certified surrogate , you 01:00.097 --> 01:03.250 can access the patient portal at my.MHS 01:03.250 --> 01:06.259 Genesis.health.mil . You can sign in 01:06.259 --> 01:08.728 using a CAC , username and password , 01:09.189 --> 01:12.309 or a PI . After logging in , select 01:12.309 --> 01:14.365 whether you are accessing the portal 01:14.365 --> 01:16.365 for yourself or for the patient you 01:16.365 --> 01:18.531 represent as a surrogate . To view the 01:18.531 --> 01:20.753 patient's electronic health record , go 01:20.753 --> 01:22.865 to the health record page and confirm 01:22.865 --> 01:24.976 the patient's name is selected in the 01:24.976 --> 01:27.198 drop-down menu at the top of the page . 01:27.198 --> 01:29.198 If you can't access the MHS Genesis 01:29.198 --> 01:30.709 patient portal , visit 01:30.709 --> 01:34.269 GSC.health.mil/portal or call 01:34.269 --> 01:38.050 800-600-9332 .
