The VA Health Chat App provides easy, online access to chat with VA staff when you have minor health questions, want to schedule an appointment, have a non-life threatening health concern, and more. VA Health Chat is now available for almost every single Veteran receiving care in the VA Health Care system. Veterans may see the chat options that are available to them by signing in to the VA Health Chat application. Not every chat option is available for every Veteran. VA continues to expand services monthly so Veterans are encouraged to check back as the VA expands this service rapidly.
