Access to Care for DOD Civilians and Contractors


As a military treatment facility, U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka follows Department of Defense policy for prioritizing appointment scheduling. Here’s how these guidelines prioritize care:
  • Active duty service members
  • Active duty family members enrolled in TRICARE Prime 
  • TRICARE Young Adult- Prime 
We are committing to providing care to others whenever space is available after we have honored our responsibility to active duty service members and their families. This includes:
  • Active duty family members enrolled in TRICARE Select or TRICARE Young Adult-Select  
  • Retired service members and their eligible family members
  • DOD civilians and contractors
These priorities apply to primary and specialty care appointments. Access to the Emergency Department remains available 24/7 to all DoD ID card holders. All patients, including those receiving space-available care, can have their prescriptions filled through the USNH Yokosuka pharmacy if they are from a licensed U.S. provider and are written in English. (Please note, it may take 1-3 business days to fill prescriptions.)
