STAND-UP OF AIRMEN CLINIC ON AREA F
On 15 OCT 20, all Active Duty members seeking primary medical care will be seen on Area F at the Airmen Clinic, building 10271 (formerly known as the Flight Med Clinic). Dependents will continue to be seen on Area 1.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? Aviano beneficiaries will be notified if they have a new provider via mail and through Secure Messaging. Sign up for Secure Messaging at https://www.tricareonline.com. If you are a dependent you will be seen on Area 1, if you are an Active Duty member you will be seen on Area F starting on 15 Oct 20.
Squadrons and dependents empaneled to the Flight Medicine Clinic will not be affected by this change. They will continue receive care on Area F.
Pharmacy and Lab satellite clinics will be available to Active Duty members on Area F.
WHY IS THE 31 MDG MOVING TO AD/DEPENDENT CLINICS? To actively improve the medical readiness of active duty members while providing the highest quality care to our dependent/retiree population. The Airmen Medical Readiness Optimization (AMRO) initiative reorganizes primary care into medical teams that treat active duty-only or dependents-only. Each 31 FW unit will be empaneled to a single primary care team. This model allows active PAID duty provider teams to build relationships with squadron leaders and focus on unit-specific needs to return Airmen to duty. 21 ADVERTISEMENT.
