If you need emergency care, go to the nearest military or civilian emergency room (or urgent care center) or call 911. You do not need to call your provider before receiving emergency medical care. However, you must contact your Primary Care Manager (PCM) (if one is assigned to you), your regional Health Care Finder (HCF) as soon as possible after getting emergency treatment or being admitted to a hospital. They can help with transferring you to a military hospital if necessary. They can also make sure that your medical bills are sent to the proper place for payment.
