21st Medical Group

Commander's Welcome Letter

On behalf of the men and women of the 21st Medical Group, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our clinic. We thank you for trusting us with your care--it’s truly our privilege to take care of you.

Our vision is to be “America’s Premier Medical Group.” Our track record is proof-positive of this aspiration. We recently scored a 94% on our triennial Health Services Inspection! Further, we absolutely aced our triennial civilian accreditation inspection thru the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare—with a 99% rating. We’re proud of these accomplishments, yet even more proud of the advancements to our practice that lie ahead.

We recently launched a new model for primary care delivery, the Patient-Centered Medical Home. This model targets evidence-based practices that will enable us to provide the best patient-focused care possible. We’ve decreased the enrollment ratio of patients-to-provider to maximize the likelihood you’ll be treated by your provider when you need to be seen. This continuity of care will build tight relationships between you and your provider and is just what you’ve been asking for and deserve!

Please take a few moments to review the information presented in this handbook. It will inform you of our services and gives you points-of-contact to help you access the services you need. We have patient advocates throughout the medical group who are dedicated to addressing and resolving your concerns. We also welcome and encourage your suggestions to

help

us improve our practice. Again, welcome and thank you for choosing us as your clinic of choice--we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

21 MDG GENERAL INFORMATION

Access to Care Standards: Acute (same day) within 24 hours, routine (new concern but not urgent) within 7 days and well within 28 days.

No Sick Call: The 21 MDG does not have a walk-in clinic or sick call. If you are active duty and sick or injured, please call 524-CARE (2273) to schedule an acute appointment. Scheduling Appointments: In order to provide the most accessible and timely health care possible, our clinics operate on an appointment only basis.

TRICARE Online (TOL): TRICARE Prime patients can schedule most appointments by using TRICARE Online. Patients can go to http://www.tricare.mil/ to register and then schedule appointments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Appointments made on TOL can also be cancelled online. Prescriptions may now be refilled through TOL.

CARE Line Appointment Call Center: Patients who are enrolled in TRICARE PRIME may call 524-CARE

(524-2273) to schedule appointments, Monday-Friday. The appointing function is provided by contractors through the CARE Line appointment center. These contractors are located in the community and not at Peterson AFB. The CARE Line appointment call center’s normal business hours are between 0600 to 1630, Monday to Friday. It is closed for federal holidays. This number is your point of contact to schedule or cancel appointments, contact your PCM team, report emergency care received after hours or out of area, obtain information about enrollment, claims or referrals, or to obtain general information about the 21 MDG. Please be aware that Peterson staff members are only

(11)

Appointment Reminder System: The 21 MDG provides appointment reminder messages. Patients will receive a reminder call 1-2 business days before a medical

appointment. For patient privacy, only the date and time of the appointment will be indicated. For dental

appointments the patient will also receive a reminder call from the dental staff.

Emergency Care: Peterson, Schriever and the United States Air Force Academy do NOT have emergency room services. For possible loss of life, limb or eyesight, call 911. Appointment Preparation: Be prepared for your

appointment. Bring a list of your concerns and other information regarding your illness or injury. It is helpful to bring a list of current medications, vitamins and any herbs or minerals you may be taking.

Arrival Time for Appointments: It is important that you arrive by your scheduled appointment time. This allows the staff to take care of administrative issues, including updating your information, completing paper work, and checking your vital signs. If you arrive 5 or more minutes after your sched-uled appointment start time you may be asked to reschedule your appointment.

If your need is acute, based on a nurse assessment, you may be allowed to wait until other scheduled patients are seen.

“No Show” Policy: A “no show” is any patient who does not keep a scheduled appointment or cancels less than two hours prior to their scheduled appointment time.

Appointments scheduled before 0900 need to be cancelled prior to the close of the previous business day. To cancel an appointment please call (719) 524-2273.

(12)

Training Days: The entire 21 MDG is closed until 1230 on the 3d Tuesday of each month for mandatory training. Patients can still schedule appointments and leave messages by calling 524-CARE (2273). Patients may also schedule appointments by using TRICARE online at http:// www.tricare.mil/.

After hours/Weekend/Holiday Care: If you believe you need care after hours but your health concern is not an emergency, call (719) 524-2273.

Out of Area Care: If you are traveling out of the local area, you are authorized to seek emergency care without pre-authorization. For non-emergent care please call United Health Military & Veterans at (877) 988-9378 for authorization.

Urgent Care Authorizations

All Urgent Care Clinic visits must be authorized by a PCM

or the patient risks incurring a bill

. The Patient

Appointment System may have limited authority to provide

patients with authorizations. If not, then patients

must

contact a PCM for an urgent care authorization either by

calling the PCM team during duty hours or on the after-hours

on-call physician line.

Wing Readiness Training/Exercises: The 21 MDG participates in wing-sponsored training and exercises that may disrupt services. We will take steps to avoid

appointment cancellations, but your care may be delayed and/or disrupted due to exercises

Base Closure: If Peterson or Schriever AFB is closed due to inclement weather, the clinic on that base is also closed for all services; and all patient appointments for the closed base are cancelled. The clinic staff will contact patients as soon as possible to reschedule cancelled appointments.

(13)

Inclement Weather: In the case of inclement weather, patients should watch the local TV stations, listen to local radio stations, or call the Peterson AFB Closure Hotline at (719) 556-SNOW for up-to-date base delay and closure information prior to coming to the clinics. The Schriever AFB Base Closure Hotline is (719) 567-SNOW. For appointments scheduled at or after the delayed re-porting time, patients report for their appointment as scheduled. However, patient care may also be delayed due to staff delayed reporting. If you cannot make it to your appointment due to inclement weather, please call 524-2273 to cancel your appointment.

Patients with Disabilities: The 21 MDG works to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you encounter physical or communication barriers in the clinic, please ask a staff member for assistance. The clinic can provide you with assistance including wheelchairs for use in the clinic, interpreters and translators, and assistance reading or filling out forms or using the computers.

Customer Service Program: The 21 MDG is dedicated to providing our patients with quality health care in a safe, customer-friendly environment. Please fill out a patient comment card after your visit. We value your feedback and use your recommendations to improve care. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with your treatment, care, customer service or wish to report concerns about safety issues, please contact the clinic patient advocates. If you require assistance or have concerns about patient care and safety which cannot be resolved within the service area, please visit our 21 MDG Patient Advocate (room 708) or call (719) 556-1060.

(14)

Fire Alarms: For your protection, fire alarm pull boxes are placed throughout the clinic. The Peterson Fire Department conducts routine fire drills during duty hours.

Active Duty PCS/Separation/Retirement Medical Records Requirements: Medical records will be released no earlier than 10 duty days prior to the member’s final out-processing date for FSO, PRP and Special Duty patients.

(15)

Other Health Insurance (OHI): The 2569 Third Party Insurance program allows us to collect necessary infor-mation about additional insurance you may have. The 2569 will be verified electronically at every visit to the MTF and will be updated annually.

Referral Management: Once a referral is generated by a provider at the 21 MDG, it will be reviewed by the Central Referral Center staff to determine where you may obtain your specialty care. Care may be provided in one of the local MTFs or from a civilian specialist.

If care can be provided in an MTF, you will be notified by phone within 3-5 duty days to schedule an appointment. If the specialty care is not available in an MTF you should receive your referral authorization letter within 6-10

business days. If you have questions about a referral, please call (719) 524-2273.

Please be aware that all PCM referrals may not be approved. Each referral is reviewed for complete information, appropriateness of care requested and medical necessity. If your referral was not approved for care, you can appeal.

Please review your TRICARE Beneficiary Handbook for instructions on the appeals process. Additionally, not all specialties are available in the Colorado Springs area. You may be authorized to obtain specialty care in another city such as Denver or Pueblo.

If your network specialist believes you need additional medical services, that specialist should contact United Healthcare Military & Veterans at (877) 988-9378 to request additional services.

(16)
