During your time in Italy, you're going to need to see a doctor and dentist. Depending on the specialty services you might require, you may need to be referred off-installation for medical services. For information about the naval hospital and the services provided, visit the official website: www.Naples.Tricare.mil
PATIENT LIAISONS
Host-nation patient liaisons act as intermediaries between patients and doctors to help facilitate the best care possible. From assisting with the language barrier and insurance forms, to providing comfort to clients, patient liaisons can help you feel at ease in the medical surroundings.
Getting a patient liaison
The patient liaison program is available through TRICARE (at the hospital). This program is open to all ID cardholders, including non-TRICARE members. Many times, you will need a referral from a provider for off-installation care.
For more information about TRICARE, contact the Health Care Business Office at the hospital. DSN: 629-6330/6331.
Be prepared
- For all emergencies—on or off base—always dial emergency dispatch at 39)-081-568-4911, or by dialing 9-1-1 from a DSN phone on base.
- Off-base health emergencies will be treated at an Italian local hospital with translation services provided by dispatch.
- Always carry a list of your current medications, known allergies, as well as your insurance card, ID card and local currency.
