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.
