The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced that its Health and Benefits mobile application has surpassed 3 million downloads since its inception in 2021. The app currently boasts 1.4 million active users, providing veterans with access to various VA healthcare and benefits information directly from their smartphones.
Through the app, veterans can refill and track prescriptions, review appointments, check claims and appeals status, submit evidence for claims and appeals, review payment and direct deposit information, locate the nearest VA facilities, access the Veterans Crisis Line, and show proof of veteran status.
"VA’s Health and Benefits app gives Veterans fast and convenient access to a host of important information, from appointments to prescriptions and benefits," stated Eddie Pool, VA Acting Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology and Acting Chief Information Officer. "We encourage all VA-enrolled Veterans to stay connected and informed by downloading the app."
The Department encourages veterans enrolled with the VA to utilize this tool to stay updated on their healthcare needs.
