The 5th Medical Group is an integrated health care delivery
system that provides comprehensive services for the military community. Active
duty members, retirees, and their families will find that the 5th Med Group
strives to provide high quality, cost effective care in a timely manner. Any
services not provided in the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) will be acquired
from providers in our local network. Active duty personnel are guaranteed access
to a 5th Medical Group health care provider within 24 hours for acute illnesses
seven days a week. The 5th Medical Group adheres to a set of universally
accepted standards that apply to all Tricare Prime enrollees, which includes
acute care access in 24 hours, routine access in 7 days, and specialty care in
30 days. The philosophy of the 5th Medical Group centers on personal health and
wellness, with services focused on the prevention and management of disease
processes.
Beneficiaries will find a full range of services including
Primary Care, Dentistry (AD members), Life Skills Services (AD members),
Pediatrics, Optometry, Family Advocacy, Immunizations and Internal Medicine.
Beneficiaries will enroll in TRICARE Prime at the Tricare Service Center located
on the third floor of the MTF, or during Base In processing/Medical Right Start,
held every Thursday. Each member will be assigned to a Primary Care Management
team which is designed to fully meet the health care needs of their
population. Each team consists of a Provider, Nurse, two Medical
Technicians and administrative support. Our goal is to have beneficiaries know
their Provider by name to ensure the best continuity of care.
Family
Advocacy is responsible for the Special Needs Identifier and Relocations
Assistance Program. This program is designated to ensure service
availability for family members of active duty military in the event of a
PCS. It identifies exceptional needs of family members (medical,
mental health, and educational). Family Advocacy verifies resource
availability in both military and civilian communities. Enrollment is
mandatory for all active duty military personnel with a family member with an
exceptional need.
Appointments can be made by calling the central
scheduling Tricare number.
The VA Clinic is also located on the first
floor of the hospital.
