Notice to Customers Making Payment by Check
When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
Privacy Act – A Privacy Act Statement required by 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3) stating our authority for soliciting and collecting the information from your check, and explaining the purposes and routine uses which will be made of your check information, is available from our internet site at (https://www.fms.treas.gov/otcnet/index.html), or call toll free at (1-866-945-7920) to obtain a copy by mail.

FAQs:
Are you a TRICARE Beneficiary? If so, do you have Other Health Insurance (OHI) than TRICARE?
As part of the Third Party Collection Program, we will bill your insurance carrier for medical services rendered in our facilities at no cost to you. Funds collected from your Other Health Insurance (OHI) will help offset the cost of the taxpayer’s dollars and can help the facilities improve their delivery of healthcare. If you have OHI, please fill out form DD 2569, attach a copy of your insurance card (front & back), and email both to
marco.a.granadocaballero.ln@health.mil and
mariavanesa.mejiascabanas.ln@health.mil OR Naval Hospital Rota, Collection Office. This form must be updated annually.
Please be aware, medical services rendered in one of our overseas facilities are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid even though they are United States Military Treatment Facilities. Please contact our customer service team for further information regarding our medical billing services.
Are you wondering why you haven't been billed for services?
We continue to have a significant volume of returned mail. Most returned mail comes back without a forwarding address. In these cases, the only way for the accounts to be closed is if they are transferred for payroll deduction or administrative offset.
