Access your VA medical records online. Sign in to view, organize, and share your VA medical records and other personal health information. We don't charge any fees to send copies directly to

health care providers.

We can help you get copies of your VA medical records. We can also help you update your records. Call or visit one of our release of information offices.

To request a copy of your VA medical records by mail or fax, send a signed and completed VA Form 10-5345a to our Release of Information office.

Per VHA Directives, we have 20 business days to process all requests. Requests are accepted in-person, through My HealtheVet, mail, and fax. Please contact the facility to verify if

submission by email is available.

The Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE) program lets us electronically share your health information with health care providers who treat you, including participating non-VA 

providers if you receive care outside of VA.

This program is voluntary, and you can choose not to share your information (opt out of sharing).

Fill out, sign, and date VA Form 10-10164 (Opt Out of Sharing Protected Health Information).

Mail the signed, completed form to our ROI office. You can also bring it with you or ask for this form when you visit us.

Note: If you had revoked your permission to share, before September 30, 2019, your opt out status will stay active. You don’t need to submit form 10-10164.

If you change your mind and want to share your health information, you’ll need to submit VA Form 10-10163 (Request for and Permission to Participate in Sharing Protected Health Information).

Mail the signed, completed form to our ROI office. You can also bring it with you or ask for this form when you visit us.

You can get another person's medical records if you’re listed as having Power of Attorney (POA) or you’re the patient’s next of kin.

Yes. If you’re making the request in person, you can tell us what format you would like. If you’re using VA Form 10-5345a, check the “CD-ROM” or “Other” box (and write in DVD).

If you have a My HealtheVet Premium account, you can also view or download many kinds of radiology images online. A Premium account is one where you’ve gone through extra identity

authentication.

Please ask at the Register for care office, and they will provide you documentation of your VA coverage.
