I find it pretty useful. I never know the results of my lab tests when I go for my biannual check up, but I can check them online at https://www.myhealth.va.gov/mhv-portal-web/home

The doc started me on Pravastatin, half a pill twice a week because I was just a tad over what's considered good, and it's working pretty good. My HDL is now good and LDL is only one point over. So on the website I was able to send a message to my doctor and ask him if I should keep it up and he answered. Pretty handy if you ask me. You can check on just about anything... oh... I should mention that you can only do that with the "premium" account.

We have a civilian doctor who accepts both Medicare, and Tricare (for military). Our prescriptions are forwarded from the Doctor to EXPRESS SCRIPTS, and they keep track of all of our needs.
I suppose veterans who are under 65 use MyHealthVet. And now. After Trump signed the new VA Bill...all veterans can go to any doctor, or hospital they want. Another Promise Kept. :salute:

OK... yeah I knew about that. I've already used Veterans Choice a few times.

You still have to be APPROVED to use it, by your VA provider, and it can take forever sometimes.
