E-Screening is coming and will help speed up the check in process at your next appointment.
E-Screening is an electronic healthcare questionnaire that aides your healthcare team during your visit.
- When you make your next appointment, ensure VA has your updated email address.
- About a week before your appointment, you will receive an email from donotreply@va.gov.
- Click on the questionnaire link embedded in the email.
- Fill out questionaire!
- Arrive on time to your appointment, and most of those reminder questions will be take care of via the E-Screening process.
E-screening will decrease check-in time and increase the time you spend with your provider.
