information with health care providers who treat you, including participating non-VA providers if you receive care outside of VA. This program is voluntary, and you can choose not to share

your information (opt out of sharing). Learn more about VHIE TO OPT OUT OF SHARING Fill out, sign, and date VA Form 10-10164 (Opt Out of Sharing Protected Health Information). Mail the

share, before September 30, 2019, your opt out status will stay active. You don’t need to submit form 10-10164. TO ALLOW SHARING AFTER OPTING OUT If you change your mind and want to share
