Pros: My Health Manager is a thorough personal health manager with multiple areas for entering information. Options are available for communicating with doctors and pharmacies through My Health Manager. Appointments may be made for Kaiser Permanente facilities on site as well.

Cons: The service is not available to individuals. It is only available to patients treated by Kaiser Facilities in certain areas of the US. Prospective users cannot access areas of the site to view features and try utilities.

The Bottomline: My Health Manager is a secure online PHR available through agencies affiliated with Kaiser Permanente. There does not appear to be fees associated with site use, but access is limited without membership.
