How we share your records with providers outside VA
The Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE) program lets us electronically share your health information with health care providers who treat you, including participating non-VA providers if you receive care outside of VA.
This program is voluntary, and you can choose not to share your information (opt out of sharing).
To opt out of sharing
Fill out, sign, and date VA Form 10-10164 (Opt Out of Sharing Protected Health Information).
Mail the signed, completed form to our ROI office. You can also bring it with you or ask for this form when you visit us.
Download VA Form 10-10164 (PDF)
Note: If you had revoked your permission to share, before September 30, 2019, your opt out status will stay active. You don’t need to submit form 10-10164.
To allow sharing after opting out
If you change your mind and want to share your health information, you’ll need to submit VA Form 10-10163 (Request for and Permission to Participate in Sharing Protected Health Information).
Mail the signed, completed form to our Release Of Information office. You can also bring it with you or ask for this form when you visit us.
Questions about medical records
Can I get someone else's medical records?
You can get another person's medical records if you’re listed as having Power of Attorney (POA) or you’re the patient’s next of kin.
Can I get records of a deceased patient?
You can get the records of a deceased patient if you have:
- A copy of their death certificate
- A valid photo ID for yourself
- Any POA paperwork or will showing you have a legal right to their record
Can I get records on a CD or DVD?
Yes. If you’re making the request in person, you can tell us what format you would like. If you’re using VA Form 10-5345a, check the “CD-ROM” or “Other” box (and write in DVD).
Can I get radiology images and X-rays?
Yes, we provide all available images on DVD.
If you have a My HealtheVet Premium account, you can also view or download many kinds of radiology images online. A Premium account is one where you’ve gone through extra identity authentication.
Can I get a proof of health insurance document?
Please ask at a patient registration office, and they will provide you documentation of your VA coverage.
