• Your appointment confirmation letter.
• List of your current medications including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and any herbal supplements.

You'll need to sign up to opt in to this service. Visit the  patient registration office at our Eastern Colorado location. This service is free, but standard messaging rates from your mobile service provider may apply.

Have you heard about VetText, a new way to get information about sooner Primary Care appointment?

 You may see texts from VetText (phone # 53079) asking you if you would like to reschedule one of your future appointments to an earlier date. When this happens, other veterans might also be receiving the same offer. You may respond to the text in one of four ways: 

(1) Type “Reschedule.” If you are the first to respond to the reschedule offer, you will get that new appointment, and the one you had before will be cancelled. 

(2) Type “Keep” to keep your appointment. If other openings arise to reschedule that appointment, you won’t be notified. 

(3) No response: You will continue to receive reschedule offers. 

(4) Type “PASS.” That way you won’t get future offers to reschedule. How can you get an sooner primary care appointment? When you make your appointment, tell your scheduler that you would like a sooner appointment if one becomes available. If you have questions, call , Option 2.
