We use VEText to send you appointment reminders and other updates about your VA health care. To confirm or cancel, you can reply using the special codes we send you. If you don’t reply, we’ll keep your appointment scheduled.
Getting locations in appointment reminders
Basic VEText reminders do not include the location of your appointment. These appointment reminders can be more personal and can include the location of your appointments when you complete a simple one-time request process. If you don’t want us to include locations, you don’t have to do anything.
-
To start receiving locations, reply to any VEText reminder with the 5-digit zip code for your home address. Or you can text your zip code to 53079. When you finish, your future text message reminders will include the location and information for your appointment.
-
To stop getting locations, reply BASIC to a VEText reminder, or text BASIC to 53079.
What type of information will be included in the VEText appointment reminder?
All future text message reminders will have your name, VA medical center/clinic location information, and the date and time of the upcoming appointments.
Will the appointment reminder text message phone number change?
No! You will still receive appointment reminders from 53079.
