Sign Up For My HealthEVet

My HealtheVet offers three account types:

  1. Basic
  2. Advanced
  3. Premium

Basic Account –

Anyone who registers on My HealtheVet starts with a Basic Account. This account does not require that you have your identity Authenticated*. A Basic Account provides limited access to features in My HealtheVet that you self-enter. You may use the journals and other tools to track your health measures. However, you cannot see your personal information located in VA or DoD systems.

* This is a process by which VA verifies a Veterans’ identity before allowing access to their VA health record. To learn more, go to: Upgrading your My HealtheVet account through In-Person or Online Authentication.

With a Basic Account you may use My HealtheVet to:

Add information to a personal health journal about over-the-counter medications, allergies, military health history, medical events, tests and allergies

Record and track personal information such as contact information, emergency contacts, health care doctors and providers, and health insurance information

Record and track personal health measurements (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, heart rate, body temperature, weight, pain level, etc.) in

Vitals & Readings

Print a wallet ID card with the personal information entered into the personal health record

Set personal goals. My Goals makes it easy for you to set Goals, identify your Strengths and Tasks, to overcome Obstacles, and track your progress. My Goals can be used to help your health care team understand what is important to you.

Use the VA Blue Button (Download My Data) to view, save, print or download and save your self-entered information; then share this with your caregiver, non-VA provider or others you trust. Your self-entered information may include:

After you register, your account type will be displayed in the Member Login box, as an icon after your name. For example if you have a Basic Account, there will be a basic account logo after your name. With an Advanced Account, it will be an advanced account logo. Those with a Premium Account will have a premium account logo after their name.

Advanced Account –

This account is only for Veterans and/or VA Patients. It is a higher level of access to features offered in My HealtheVet. It may provide you the ability to view some information in your VA and/or DoD records. This account does not require that you have your identity Authenticated*. However, when you register as a Veteran/VA Patient, your profile information (full name, Social Security Number (SNN), date of birth (DOB) and gender) is linked to VA/DoD records. When this happens, you are given an Advanced Account. If you are a VA patient, this type of account lets you refill your VA prescriptions online using My HealtheVet.

* This is a process by which VA verifies a Veterans’ identity before allowing access to their VA health record. To learn more, go to: Upgrading your My HealtheVet account through In-Person or Online Authentication.

After you register, your account type will be displayed in the Member Login box. For example if your account is upgraded from Basic to Advanced, there will be an advanced account logo after your name.

Note: When you are issued an Advanced or Premium Account, your personal traits (full name, Social Security Number (SNN), date of birth (DOB) and gender) are locked down on your Profile page. You cannot change this information. This is done to protect your information.

Premium Account –

This account is only for Veterans and/or VA Patients. It gives users the highest level of access to My HealtheVet features. To get this type of account you need to go through Authentication* and have your My HealtheVet profile information (full name, Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth (DOB) and gender) linked to VA/DoD records. After you register, your account type will be displayed in the Member Login box. Those with a Premium Account will have premium account logo after their name.
