be an active member of your team. Research shows that
patients who are more involved with their care tend to
get better results.

Patient priority is governed by
Title 10 of U.S. Code:
1) Active duty personnel.
2) TRICARE Prime members with a PCM at NH Jax
who are active duty family members.
3) TRICARE Prime members with a PCM at NH Jax
who are retirees, their family members, or
survivors of sponsors who died on active duty.
4) TRICARE Prime members with a civilian PCM
5) Active duty family members not enrolled in
TRICARE Prime and
6) All other beneficiaries

Hospital Central Tower, 1st
Floor, (904) 542-7341. In an emergency, call 911
or go to the nearest emergency room. Aboard NAS
Jax, ambulance service is available 24/7 at
(904) 542-3333.
The hospital’s ER is open 24/7 and sees an average of 125 people each day. Using
the standard “triage” model, patients are seen based on the seriousness of their
condition—not the order in which they arrived.
An emergency is a medical, maternity or psychiatric condition that would lead
someone with average knowledge to believe that a serious medical condition
exists; that the absence of immediate medical attention would result in a threat
to life, limb or sight; severe painful symptoms that require immediate attention
to relieve suffering; or when a person is at immediate risk to self or others.
You do not need to call your PCM or TRICARE to get emergency care. Examples of
emergencies include severe bleeding, chest pain, severe eye injury, broken bone,
inability to breathe, spinal cord injury or no pulse.
For urgent care, TRICARE Prime members need to call Central Appointments at
(800) 529- 4677 or your PCM. Your PCM may see you that day or—if they’re
unable—refer you to a network care provider. After hours, Central Appointments’
Nurse Advice Line will assist you. If you don’t get this referral and you get
care from someone other than your PCM, you will be billed under TRICARE’s more
costly Point of Service option. Urgent care is for things like a minor cut,
sprain, migraine, earache, rising fever or urinary tract infection.
Inpatient care and surgery is
performed at the hospital. If you are at a
branch health clinic, please see your PCM for
information and referral for inpatient care,
surgery and maternity care.
