The Emergent Care Center is always open to provide emergency and urgent care services. If the condition is not urgent and can wait for treatment, the medical group will reopen for full services on July 7.

Urgent Care is defined as care for an illness or injury that requires treatment within 24 hours but is not life threatening. Examples include: earache, toothache, joint sprain, muscle pull or urinary tract infection.

Visits to civilian urgent care centers and/or medical providers require prior authorization from the military beneficiary's PCM or the enrollee risks incurring the cost of the visit.

Enrollees can reach their PCM on-call provider after normal duty hours by calling the Emergent Care Center at 240-857-2333.
