Connected Care
The VA Butler Healthcare System is on the leading edge of digital health care with virtual technology options to improve access for Veterans and provide health care beyond traditional doctor’s office visits. We support and encourage Veterans’ participation in their own health care with innovative, personalized, proactive, patient-driven technologies and services.

Prescription Refills
Veterans can request prescription refills – and order, ship and track meds to their home when they sign in to My HealtheVet or download the Rx Refill mobile app (Visit VA Mobile Apps to learn more.)
Secure Messaging
With My HealtheVet, Veterans can sign in and send online secure messages to their VA health care teams to set up telephone or video visits, renew prescriptions, and more – and there is NO co-pay!
Telephone or Video Appointments
Rather than travel to a VA facility, Veterans can receive care at home – either over the phone or via video using VA Video Connect on their web-based device – and there is NO co-pay!
