My HealtheVet on VA.gov

Start using the new My HealtheVet experience

In the past, you’ve needed to go to many different online places to manage VA-related tasks. The new My HealtheVet experience on VA.gov allows you to manage your health care needs in the same place that you manage your other VA benefits and services. We encourage you to start using the new My HealtheVet experience on VA.gov to manage all of your health care needs.

What to expect

The current My HealtheVet is transitioning to the new My HealtheVet experience on VA.gov. Here’s what you can expect today and in the future:

  • Today, when you sign in to VA.gov and select My HealtheVet in the main navigation, you'll start on the new My HealtheVet on VA.gov home page. This page will have links to the same health tools you use today and more.
  • Today, when you sign in to the current My HealtheVet and visit the appointment feature, we’ll redirect you to appointments on VA.gov.
  • In June, when you sign in to the current My HealtheVet, you'll notice that we've moved over to the new experience on VA.gov. To access pharmacy, health records, or secure messaging you'll need to go to My HealtheVet on VA.gov.
  • Veterans who receive care from a VA health facility that uses the My VA Health portal will still need to go to that portal to manage their health care needs for now.

How to share your feedback We want your feedback about the new experience. When you try the new My HealtheVet experience on VA.gov, you can use the Feedback button at the bottom of the page. Let us know what you like about the new experience and what could be better.
