Health Clinics

Branch Health Clinic Atsugi

 

About Us

We are a tenant command aboard U.S. Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan. The Branch Health Clinic provides primary health services, dental services and flight medicine to approximately 30 commands and activities stationed aboard the NAF. Health care is limited to primary medical and dental care. Specialists are located at USNH Yokosuka, which is one to two hours from NAF Atsugi. A weekday shuttle is available; otherwise, roundtrip tolls are 2,200 yen, out-of-pocket. Our clinic also provides routine obstetrics service, but deliveries are performed at U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka.

Our Services

Primary Care Clinic

Patients are seen only by appointment at these times. After hours medical consultation can be obtained by calling 264-3951 on-base, or off-base at 046-763-3951

Emergency Care: Clinic personnel respond to medical emergencies on base, but it is not an emergency room. The clinic relies on NH Yokosuka for most emergency care and will transport patients to them immediately.

Pharmacy

The pharmacy is located next to medical records. We encourage the utilization of the call-in refill line or visit the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal pharmacy refill page. (**NOTE** You'll have to complete the self-registration to use this service). Eligible beneficiaries as determined by DEERS, including civilian pay-patients, can use this service.

This is to pick up your prescription locally, not through the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy.
While we would like to be able to provide every pharmaceutical item you need, please keep in mind we are a small MTF located overseas with limited resources. Some of our limitations are outlined below.

  • If you are PCS'ing we will be happy to give you up to a three-month supply maximum.
  • If you have no refills or your prescription is expired, you must see a provider or check with front desk clerk.
  • When using the refill phone line, please allow 24 hours before pick up.
  • If you are new to Atsugi we can transfer any remaining refills from prescriptions you’ve had filled at other MTFs. To do this we need a label from your existing prescription. We cannot fill or transfer prescriptions from non-MTF providers.

We do not carry every single medication and we have very limited space. If you require an item we do not normally stock (non-formulary) your provider can submit a non-formulary request form. If you have any questions please, call 264-3957.

Laboratory

Military ID cards are required to ensure patient identification. The laboratory cannot disclose the results of tests due to follow-up care that may be necessary. The doctor will contact you with your results.

WIC Appointments:

Walk-in, Monday - Friday, 1 - 4 p.m. (unavailable Wednesday). We set this time aside since children take a little more time and care. This way, we can optimize the care we give to each patient. Results will be faxed to the WIC office at Zama. Please do not come on the day of appointment.

Radiology

Atsugi's radiology department offers diagnostic X-rays and intravenous pyelogram (IVP) without tomography. To request images from a previous treatment facility, please download and complete DD Form 877 and bring it to radiology.

Optometry

Patients are seen only by appointment. Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. 

Dental Clinic

Please bring the following when checking into Atsugi's dental clinic for the first time:

  • Active duty service members, civilians, and retirees - Please bring your record from previous command. Your record will be screened and any necessary appointments will be made. If you do not have your previous record when you arrive, you will be given the necessary paperwork for establishing a record.
  • Dependents - Please provide any previous dental record, as well as a copy of family entry approval or command sponsorship.
  • Active duty service members have appointment priority, followed by dependents, civilians, and retirees (space available). Appointments can be scheduled over the phone or in person two weeks in advance at the earliest; your record MUST be in the clinic in order to do so. Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment. Services include exams, cleanings, fillings, endodontics, prosthetics, sealants, and oral surgery.

Immunizations

Immunizations are given on a walk-in, first come, first serve basis. Babies 2-24 months old are required to have a well-baby check before immunizations; they're recommended for children 2-6 years old. Click here to see frequently asked questions regarding immunizations.

Health Promotion & Wellness

Please visit our Health Promotion & Wellness page tab located at the top for information on classes, education, and services. 
 

Emergency Care

The clinic does NOT contain an Emergency Room or an Urgent Care Center, however, clinic personnel may respond to medical emergencies on base. The clinic relies on local Japanese facilities or the Naval Hospital for all higher levels of emergency care and will transport patients to an appropriate facility immediately when necessary.

Call your local emergency services number or go immediately to an ER.
