My HealtheVet

摘要

In the last issue we stopped before completing our look at My HealtheVet. Let's pick up where we left off. So, we had just signed up for My HealtheVet; however, we were limited in what we could do. To take advantage of all the capabilities HealtheVet offers, users must register in person with a VA employee. During this face-to-face meeting, the VA will verify that you are who you say you are; veteran, active-duty member, dependant or caregiver in question by looking at our photo ID card. Once this is accomplished, you will establish a password and now have access to all the HealtheVet functions and capabilities. These include requesting prescription refills on line, entering both our military medical history and our vitals and readings, which the system will graph for you. In the future, we will have access to portions of our actual VA health records. If you click on the blue button that is tided Blue Button - Download My Data it will download all your personal data to your computer. I received a last-minute addition concerning registering for full access. If you have an e-Benefits account then you may call your local VA regional office and complete the tier two authentication over die telephone — a nice addition. Call 800-827-1000 and work your wav throueh the ohone tree.
