I am a 72 year old Vietnam Combat Vet. I would easily describe myself as Technically Challenged. I was having considerable difficulties with properly setting up my I.D. Me account. As a new VA health care patient, I wanted the capabilities the Preferred Account offered. The Help Desk Tech Support was beyond excellent! It is comforting to now have access to my VA health care providers, pharmacy, appointments, messaging and more. Thank you for assisting me with setting up this very important tool.
It has been very good experience with Id.me Customer Service

Unfortunately it has become rare these days to have exceptional service with customer service agents but it was very refreshing to speak with Heidi K!
I honestly wish there were more people like her in the customer service business so as a veteran I strongly encourage others to not only complain when things don't go well but to reward those who give great service like Heidi K and continue to write positive reviews for people like her!
Thank you!
