MyHealtheVet
My HealtheVet is the VA's patient portal where US veterans can refill prescriptions, view medical records, send secure messages to care teams, and schedule appointments.
What is MyHealtheVet?
My HealtheVet launched in 2003 as the Department of Veterans Affairs' attempt to bring its health record system online for veterans themselves. What began as a basic health journal has grown into the primary digital health portal for millions of veterans — the place where they access their VA medical records, request prescription refills, send secure messages to their care teams, view upcoming appointments, and download Blue Button health summaries to share with community providers. The portal represents a significant investment in veteran-centric digital health, predating many of the consumer health technology trends that have since become mainstream.
The VA health system is one of the largest integrated health care systems in the United States, with over 1,200 health care facilities including medical centres, outpatient clinics, and community-based outpatient clinics. My HealtheVet sits at the intersection of this vast physical infrastructure and the growing expectation that veterans can manage their health digitally from home. The portal integrates with VA's VistA electronic health record system, and an ongoing modernisation effort has been migrating facilities from VistA to Oracle Health's Millennium platform — a transition that has created temporary disruptions at affected sites.
When My HealtheVet is unavailable or degraded, veterans face meaningful gaps in care access. Prescription refills submitted through the portal are the primary method for many veterans to receive chronic disease medications without an in-person visit, so portal downtime directly delays medication deliveries. Secure messaging blackouts prevent veterans from reaching their care teams with clinical questions between appointments. Lab results and imaging reports that normally populate the portal become inaccessible, which is particularly disruptive for veterans monitoring chronic conditions. Authentication failures through Login.gov or ID.me — required for portal access — strand veterans entirely outside their own health records.
Outage.gg monitors My HealtheVet availability using real-time reports from veterans, caregivers, and VA health care staff. If the portal is down, prescription refills are failing, or secure messaging is inaccessible, the live status page shows current impact from the veteran community.
