Clinic services update & Referral Waiver guidance

As previously announced, due to the current operations on Ramstein Air Base, the 86th Medical Group has limited appointments and services available until further notice. As previously announced, the Defense Health Agency has issued a temporary MTF Referral Waiver for primary and specialty care, which means that our beneficiaries can receive TRICARE covered medical care off-base if the 86th Medical Group is unable to offer an appointment or provide the services needed. For additional information and guidance, please see information below and attached. When seeking care off-base, please ensure the following to avoid out-of-pocket expenses:

Provider off-base is a TRICARE authorized provider: Visit https://www.tricare-overseas.com/beneficiaries or contact the TOP Regional Center +(44) 20-8762-8384

Care received must be a TRICARE covered benefit: Visit https://tricare.mil/CoveredServices or contact your local TRICARE Service Center at 06371-46-2273 (option 4 and 3)

ATTN: Those packing up and leaving the KMC

Many members wait too long to begin the household goods moving process, thereby causing additional stress and delays. The 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron Personal Property Office advises movers to call them three weeks before moving to begin the booking process.
