Upgrade to Premium Now
Get access to all My HealtheVet features
Access to health care is more challenging during this pandemic. My HealtheVet can help with online access to your VA medical information from home. You can view and download medical records, request prescription refills, check appointments, and use Secure Messaging with your health care team. This makes virtual care or telehealth easier.
But you need to have a Premium account to use such features. Upgrade to Premium at no cost to you.
You can upgrade your current Basic account to Premium yourself online:
