A New website relating to veterans' & their health records: http://www.myhealthevet.va.gov/MHV.portal

My HealtheVet is the VHA Health Portal created for you, the veteran and your family, and for VA employees. This new health portal will enable you to access health information, tools and services anywhere in the world you can access the Internet.

Available now: My HealtheVet was launched on Veterans Day, November 11, 2003. It provides one-stop shopping for VA benefits, healthcare information, special programs and services. Now you can view health information developed especially for veterans; use a prescription checker, health calculators and self-assessment tools; access a health education library, and link easily to benefits and resources available from VA and other Federal sources.

Register for a My HealtheVet account to gain full access to all the features, including the 18 million pages of health information from the site's Health Education Library. And if you are a TriCare Online registrant, you can get there directly there from your My HealtheVet Health Info tab.

In the future: Many future enhancements are being developed for My HealtheVet You will be able to refill your VA prescriptions on-line, view your co-pay balances and appointments, and enter certain information such as your blood pressure, temperature, or other measurements that would be helpful to your physician. All this will be available to you during Summer 2004.

In 2005 you will be able to receive copies of your VA health information online. All your personal data will be secure and private in your own eVAult. And you will be able to share your online information with anyone you designate.

Today's healthcare is really a strategic partnership between patients and providers. My HealtheVet is a powerful tool to help you better understand and manage your health. It is a powerful tool for sharing information...with your family, with your caregivers, with anyone you choose. My HealtheVet puts you at the center of your VA care.
