Your My HealtheVet coordinator can help you start using the VA online portal to manage your appointments and records, refill prescriptions, view your lab and test results and communicate

with your health care team. My HealtheVet is a patient portal for VA health care that allows Veterans to order VA prescriptions, view VA appointments, send secure messages to VA providers,

and gain access to their VA patient records.  My HealtheVet is changing the way Veterans sign in as of January 21, 2025.  VA is committed to making it as easy as possible for Veterans to

manage their benefits and health care online while protecting their identities and data. As part of this commitment VA will transition to two modern, secure, sign-in options in 2025:

Login.gov or ID.me account. AFTER JANUARY 31, 2025, VETERANS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIGN INTO MY HEALTHEVET WITH A USER ID AND PASSWORD, THEY WILL NEED TO USE A LOGIN.GOV OR ID.ME.   VA has

prepared a helpful webpage with tips for creating your Login.gov or ID.me account. The page gives advice on how to take your photo, what to do if the Login.gov or ID.me won’t accept your

phone number or says you already have an account and more.    Veterans will still be able to coordinate their care in person or via the phone.  If you have questions, you can reach the My

HealtheVet helpline at 1- UPGRADE TO PREMIUM A free My HealtheVet Premium account provides you with more tools to manage your health care. In addition to all the benefits of a Basic account,
