I don't see any way of contacting my VARO except to call Peggy. It should be the same number you use to talk with your providers. When my VA providers schedule a video appointment, they send the link from their side. It appears that not all providers have the ability to use the system yet. They have to have the right equipment to do it, as do you. You have to enter your name and current location when signing into the call (cannot be driving either). My primary care doc has changed (again) and they simply just call me. However, I have had video calls with providers from the sleep clinic, whole health (physical rehab), cardiology, and others. For what it's worth, it seems that they bend over backwards to make sure you do not forget about it. I usually get a multiple letters in the mail, multiple emails, and multiple text messages indicating that my appointment is coming soon.

0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted January 27, 2022 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 27, 2022 I agree with Vync. How things are done may vary thru out the country depending on a lot of factors such a training, equipment availability etc. But the VA bends over backwards in making sure you get notification for the connect. It is more cost effective and process improvement once everyone is on board with it. Vync 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Rivet62
I would like the VERA system to work, instead of throwing errors, to schedule a virtual appointment with my VARO.
The San Diego VARO offers virtual appointments. How nice.
https://benefits.va.gov/sandiego/
My VARO offers this, and the VERA page is the same. So, I guess no matter where they may be there's the VERA option. Nice if it worked.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
