My HealtheVet's Account Types

Currently, My HealtheVet offers two account types: Basic, and Premium. Your account type determines which features on My HealtheVet you have access to. With a Premium account, you have full access to My HealtheVet Premium features. You can access the VA Pharmacy feature and your VA health records, connect with your provider and other VA staff, and log in to other VA online tools and services.

Note: The Advanced account type is no longer available as of September 15, 2021. Advanced accounts that had not upgraded to Premium by September 15 reverted to the Basic level. Users registered as VA patients or CHAMPVA beneficiaries must upgrade to Premium to use the online Pharmacy feature.
