The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CareStack essentials plan starting price $829/month is per location, not per user; Epic MyChart myChart is not a direct-to-consumer product; Epic markets it as a tool that healthcare organizations license and configure to engage their own patients, so access depends entirely on a patient's provider having deployed Epic.
  • They diverge on capability: CareStack covers Cloud-based platform, Epic MyChart covers View Medical Records.
