About this episode
Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus , where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities. Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7AM. Leah provides a detailed tutorial on how veterans can access their VA medical records online. She explains that veterans can log into the My HealtheVet platform to not only review their medical records but also refill prescriptions, communicate with their care team, schedule appointments, and view lab and x-ray reports. Leah demonstrates step-by-step how to navigate the website, starting from logging in at myhealth.va.gov to downloading medical records. She emphasizes selecting the appropriate date range and types of information to ensure a comprehensive record is obtained. The process involves clicking the “Blue Button Medical Report,” choosing records from the desired time frame and submitting the request, after which the records can be downloaded as a PDF.
