Beneficiary Enrollment Verification

Eligibility and ID Cards:

Patient Administration determines eligibility of active duty, reservists, veterans, NATO personnel, and other persons affiliated with the government when eligibility for care cannot be verified at the clinic using a government issued ID card or orders specifying eligibility for medical care. The patient’s eligibility for care will determine whether the patient will be billed for services.

If a patient is eligible for care but does not have an ID card, our office will issue a valid temporary treatment authorization only if the patient is shown to be eligible for care in the National DEERS database. The patient is also required to provide Uniform Business Office (UBO) Treasury Office *located next to PAD* a valid ID card within 30 days after the receipt of the temporary treatment authorization, or they will be billed.

It is the responsibility of the beneficiary to provide proof of eligibility to the UBO Treasury Office within 30 days (e.g., valid military identification card). If the valid military identification card is not presented to the hospital Admissions office within 30 days, the patient/sponsor will be billed at the established civilian emergency rate and after 60 days from the date of treatment the unpaid account will be transferred to Defense Finance for collection action.
