STATION:
The Naval Air Station at Fallon, Nevada has an outpatient clinic
on base. There is no inpatient Medical Treatment Facility here or in the general
area.
For all new people checking into our base, please stop by or call
the Health Benefits Advisor at the Branch Medical Clinic. The HBA has the
enrollment forms required for TRICARE Prime. All Active Duty personnel are now
on TRICARE Prime and must complete an enrollment/change form.
Members
have several options for family medical care coverage: TRICARE Prime, Extra, and
Standard.
TRICARE Prime members are either treated at the clinic or sent
to a local hospital for emergencies. TRICARE Prime members can get X-rays,
hearing tests, eye exams, and lab work done at the clinic. TRICARE Standard
members may be treated at the Branch Medical Clinic on a space available basis
only.
For more information about these programs, please refer to the
Health Benefits Advisor or the websites listed. All family members must be
enrolled in DEERS to be eligible for a health care plan. The Active Duty member
must go to the Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) to ensure that each family
member is on the Page 2 in the service record. The Page 2 should be updated
anytime there is a change in family status.
The Dental clinic will treat
Active Duty in the areas of endodontics and general dentistry such as filling
and pulling teeth. Family members must be enrolled in the Family Member Dental
Program. The Health Benefits Advisor maintains a list of dentists who
participate in the TRICARE Active Duty Family Member Dental Plan. Please contact
the HBA at the Branch Naval Health Clinic or refer to the website or
Contacts/Links for more information.
