FAQ's:
Q: My provider is _insert name_, can I make a follow up appointment?
A: For Active Duty: Yes, let me see what providers are available.
For others (Family members/Retirees): Upon review, it looks like you need a new consult and the Chief will review if we can meet access to care or if we have the capability to help assist you. For VA: At this time, all consults are being deferred to the VA for evaluation and treatment.
Q: My provider _insert not cardiology doctor_ ordered tests, can the cardiologist call me with the results?
A: Unfortunately, we only perform the tests. You will have to call the providers office that ordered the tests for the results.
Q: My Cardiologist has left, can another Cardiologist refill my medication?
A: For Active Duty: Yes.
For others: You will have to contact your Primary Care Manager (PCM) to help assist you with the refill. I do recommend establishing care with a network cardiologist for continuity of care and ease of medication refills.
