My HealtheVet, your Personal Health Record, helps you gain a better understanding of your health status and allows you to explore a variety of ways to monitor and improve your health. 

When you use the tools My HealtheVet provides, you become an active partner in your health care.  And the best part is, you can easily access My HealtheVet 24 hours a day/7days a week.

Secure Messaging through My HealtheVet is now available within all primary care, surgery, and specialty medicine clinics at all VISN 4 VA medical centers. Expansion of Secure Messaging throughout all other clinical areas at each medical center is underway. This online tool allows you to communicate about non-urgent health related information in a private and safe, online environment. Some of the benefits for using Secure Messaging include:

• Promotes a partnership between you and your health care team
• Provides a safe, alternative communication means that is convenient and flexible
• Reduces the need for telephone calls and waiting on hold
• May decrease unscheduled clinic walk-ins

To get the most out of My HealtheVet, Veterans are urged to visit their local VA health care facility to get an upgraded account, known as In-Person Authentication (IPA). This simple process allows you to use My HealtheVet to:

• view your VA appointments
• access VA wellness reminders
• communicate online through Secure Messaging
• view VA laboratory results
• take advantage of the many new features of My HealtheVet including the ability to review portions of your medical record

The VA "Blue Button" feature provides an easy way for you to download information within your My HealtheVet account for safekeeping and to better manage your overall health care.
