The VA Blue Button feature on My HealtheVet makes it easy for veterans to access and download copies of their VA electronic health records.
VA recently marked the 10-year anniversary of the VA Blue Button.
âUsing VA Blue Button, veterans can create customizable Blue Button reports that contain the information and records that they choose. Blue Button reports combine all the selected information into a single electronic file that veterans can access and download in a simple text file or PDF.
Blue Button reports can include VA lab results and images, VA prescriptions, and past and upcoming VA appointment information. Reports can also contain health information that veterans enter into My HealtheVet, such as emergency contact information. It can also contain personal medical history, as well as labs, tests and prescriptions from non-VA providers.
