Eligibility
All active duty and retired Service Members, and adult dependents ages 18 and above are eligible for care in the clinic. However, due to high demand, active duty personnel will be prioritized for initial appointments, while other beneficiaries may be deferred to the network when capacity is not available. Patients who have not had an appointment in the Gastroenterology Clinic and require screening/surveillance colonoscopy or are experiencing GI symptoms such as abdominal pain; rectal bleeding; change in bowel habits or heartburn will need a referral from their Primary Care Manager prior to being seen in the clinic. Once this referral has been placed, patients can then contact the call center at 1-855-227-6331 to schedule a clinic appointment.
