Medical Update

More from the Town Hall. Major Reilly was briefing on the Camp Casey Hospital.
They have walk in appointments for: Audiology, Immunizations, EKG's and In/Out Processing.
The appointment lines are open from 0600 -1800 Mon. - Fri.
There is an After Hours number you can call to talk to a doctor if you have an emergency or need some advice.  It is a DSN 730-6142.
October 2010 is when the Hospital renovation will be completed. 
The off post hospital that has been approved by Tricare is St. Mary's Hospital in Uijeongbu.  There is also the 121 Hospital in Yongsan.
Command Sponsored families make sure you sign up for Tricare Prime as soon as you get here.  It is not automatic.  If you are Prime then you won't have any copays here.  In order to be Prime you have to be Command Sponsored!

If you are not command sponsored you will have to pay out of pocket and then put in for reimbrusement through Tricare.  At least that is how they explained it.  The example given at the meeting was for someone delivering a baby at the St. Mary's Hospital will have to have about $1,000 when they check out of the hospital. 

CRC has well child appointments for children 2months to 5-years of age on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month.  Call DSN 732-6011 for appointments.

School Physicals can be done at either Casey or CRC Health Clinic.
