COAST GUARD:

Active duty personnel are first priority at Coast Guard health services clinics.  Coast Guard clinics are primary care managers for active duty Coast Guard only.  All active duty members are entitled to receive complete and unqualified treatment.  Non active duty members, NOT enrolled in TRICARE Prime, are second priority and are entitled to medical services, contingent upon the availability of space, facilities, and the capabilities of the clinic staff.  When services are unavailable, beneficiaries will need to obtain care from a TRICARE authorized provider.

There are two health services clinics in the Miami area for U.S. Coast Guard personnel.  One is located at Air Station Miami that services CG Air Station Miami, CG TACLET South, CG D7 TACLET, CG Station Ft. Lauderdale and CGC GANNETT personnel and DOD and non active duty members NOT enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote.  Retired dependents are not seen at the clinic but can use the pharmacy.  Dental care at the Air Station is only for active duty Coast Guard personnel. The other clinic is located at Causeway Island which only services active duty personnel.  All family members will need to be signed up for medical/dental care through TRICARE.

For directions to either Air Station Miami or Causeway Island, please see CATEGORY: Location - SUBJECT: Directions.
