Dear Veteran,Do You See a Non-VA Health Care Provider?
Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) Health is a program that shares certain parts of your Veteran health record between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and selected private health care providers over a secure and confidential network known as the eHealth Exchange. This program is free and voluntary for Veterans.
Participating in VLER Health may:
• Reduce the need for you to carry paper records
• Give your provider immediate access to more health care information, during a trip to the Emergency Room
• Reduce your chances of having duplicate tests done
• Increase your safety by providing a more complete medical record, such as your medications and allergies
