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.

• If you are an active-duty service member within the United States or in U.S. territories, and near a military installation, you may be able to get emergency dental care at the dental treatment facility, or DTF, if available. If not, contact the TRICARE Active Duty Dental Care Program before you see a dentist and tell the contractor about your move. You will need to get an authorization before you see a dentist. The Active Duty Dental Care Program will work with you, so you can get care from a local network dentist.
• If you are an active-duty service member at an overseas location, call the TRICARE overseas regional call center to get authorization before you see a civilian dentist.
• If you are an active-duty family member within the United States, in U.S. territories or at an overseas location, you can find out if any nearby military dental treatment facility treats active-duty family members. If you're enrolled in the TRICARE dental program, call the TRICARE dental program contractor or visit their website to find a provider. You will need to get an authorization before you see the dentist.

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.

The U.S. Army Health Clinic Rose Barracks (Vilseck) provides the following services: primary care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, optometry, behavioral health, social work services, education and developmental intervention services and mild traumatic brain injuries.

Care is available to TRICARE Eurasia-Africa beneficiaries. We serve patients with other insurance on a space-available basis.

We have two primary hospitals with emergency rooms: Amberg and Sulzbach-Rosenberg.

Our TRICARE Service Center handles the referrals to our 65 providers on our Preferred Provider Network for health care that is not available within our clinic. The PPN consists of doctors and specialists that are monitored by the clinic commander and health professionals within our clinic. They are extremely professional health care providers providing competent and quality health care, just as you could receive within the continental U.S.

Pharmacy Service

Soldiers and family members will be assigned a primary care provider at which time any concerns can be addressed. It is recommended to bring an extra month of your prescribed medications with you. All refills are on a mandatory call-in, and the patient must have the refill number listed on the bottle.

Dental Care

All service members and their families are authorized dental care at the Main Post Dental Clinic as long as the soldier/sponsor is assigned to or works within U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria. Incoming personnel will have to in-process dental, along with family members. Dental exams are on a walk-in basis, 7:30-9:30 a.m. This also includes sick call. Specialties are limited to soldiers only, which means those with anything other than routine care will be referred out. Both the Main Post and Rose Barracks Dental Clinic rotate duties of after-hour care for such problems as cracked or knocked out teeth. The point of contact for this will be the Military Police, who will notify the on-call doctor.

Soldiers will be carrying their records. If family members do not have a chart, a new one will be made for them.
