Here, you’ll find information and options about the services you have regarding healthcare.
The 377th Medical Group is located off base behind the Veteran Affairs Medical Center and is part of a joint venture with the Albuquerque Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Kirtland Air Force Base is in TRICARE West region and provides medical care to Department of Defense beneficiaries. For more information, visit the TRICARE West website or call 844-866-9378.

When you move, TRICARE moves with you. No matter where you go in the world, TRICARE is there before, during and when you get to your next duty station.
There are steps you need to take to make sure changes to your TRICARE coverage go smoothly. Understand that when you move, you may have to use a different TRICARE option. Visit TRICARE Moving to learn more.
Before you move, you should take care of any routine medical needs, including immunizations, and fill your prescriptions so you have enough while traveling. If you need care during your move, visit TRICARE Getting Care When Traveling to learn what to do.
Filling prescriptions while traveling
You should refill prescriptions before traveling. But if you run out of a prescription drug while traveling, visit TRICARE Filling Prescriptions When Traveling.
Getting dental care while traveling
Getting dental care while traveling depends on your location and whether you are a service member or family member.
With permanent change of station orders, ask for a copy of your medical and dental records from your military treatment facility and the dental treatment facility. Do this at least one month before your PCS date. The MTF should also transfer a copy of your record and any family records to your new duty station or you may be able to hand carry them to your new duty station.
If you want someone else to be able to get medical or dental information on you or your family while you are moving, you need to complete a DD Form 2870, "Authorization for Disclosure of Medical or Dental Information."
For more information on getting copies of medical records, visit TRICARE Request Copies of Medical Records.

Urgent care is defined as a medical condition that is not life-threatening but should get medical attention within 24 hours. Emergency means “a potential threat to life, limb or eyesight, or to prevent undue suffering.”
Under the “prudent person” concept, it is your judgment to declare a condition as needing emergency care. Important note to active-duty service members: There is a requirement to get a prior authorization for urgent care, and you must notify your primary care manager within 24 hours after emergency care. This can be done by calling the 24-hour a day main menu/appointment line at 505-846-3200.
If you are having a true emergency (a threat to life, limb or eyesight, or to prevent undue suffering), call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. IMPORTANT: The VA emergency room cannot treat children or OB/GYN patients. Emergency room locations in the Prime Network are the University of New Mexico Hospital at 2211 Lomas Blvd.; Presbyterian Kaseman Hospital at 8300 Constitution Ave. NE; and Presbyterian Hospital at 1100 Central Ave. SE.

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System
The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System is a worldwide database of military families, retirees and others covered by TRICARE. The Department of Defense uses DEERS to check who is eligible for TRICARE benefits. Congress directed that the system be developed to make it easier to plan and distribute resources and to prevent illegal use of military benefits. DEERS helps service families by protecting health benefits for those who are actually entitled to care.
In the United States, all service families should already be enrolled in DEERS. Active-duty and retired personnel are automatically enrolled, but their family members must be registered by their sponsor to make sure they are correctly entered into the system. Even though TRICARE and the services frequently remind people to keep their DEERS information up-to-date, family members may not realize that they need to be properly enrolled before their claims will be paid. Eligible family members of reservists and National Guard members who are activated for 30 days or more are considered on active duty, and their parent command should assist with DEERS enrollment.
Family members who are not enrolled, or who are not sure about it, should contact a military personnel office. Military sponsors and family members must report any changes in status (discharge, births, divorce) or location to the nearest personnel office of any uniformed service immediately, to avoid claims problems. Call the Defense Manpower Data Center/DEERS support office at 800-538-9552 or go to the DMDC website.
