Sick Bay? - Military Benefits

Trey · 07-26-2006, 04:19 PM

So Ryan is really sick.. to the point where his coughing is keeping him up all night, which is not working with the whole two job thing. Usually we would never see a doctor, but he fell asleep driving today, so I am MAKING him go. The problem is that Tricare told me to go to the Sick Bay on 32nd ST. I called them and they are closed at 2... so does that mean there is NOTHING he can do? If not, I will make him go to a civilian doctor and fight with Tricare or pay out of pocket later. But this is our first time on shore duty where he has had to see a doc. What do I do? Before he just went to whatever Doc was on duty on the ship... HELP!

He can go to Urgent Care at 32nd St. There is always a duty person there. At least there was when DH worked there. Their sick call is at 7am and it's on a first come, first serve basis.

Urgent Care huh? And that will be covered by Tricare?

I don't know how San Deigo is set up but if Sick Bay is closed tell him to go to the ER on base (or wherever the military goes there). Hope he feels better soon

Agreed. And it is covered. All active duty is now Prime so it'll be covered. And since it is closed just send em there. You may have a wait tho

lovely

people and they said go to the sick bay. I called them back and told them it was closed and she gave me a number that is disconnected. So I will take him to Balboa and just wait I guess! Thanks ladies! I appreciate the help.
