Family Health Center Access to Care

Due to an exceptionally high volume of patients at our outlying Family Health Centers at Dumfries and Fairfax, beneficiaries may be experiencing longer than normal wait times at each of these locations. You are important to us, and multiple efforts are being taken to decrease these wait times. We also feel it to be equally important to prepare you and your family for any unexpected delays and provide options for your healthcare needs.

In support of our military healthcare mission, active-duty Service Members remain our priority and are required to been seen at a Military Treatment Facility, without exception, for urgent and primary medical care. However, we have additional options that do not require referrals for family members and retirees to receive urgent care, telephone advice, and telehealth visits. Keep in mind that network co-pays may be applicable for retirees and their family members. SEE MORE...
