If you get a recording when you call and you don’t understand, please contact the TRICARE Office for assistance. Our options for medical and dental care include:
1) Mittenwald Bundeswehr Medical & Dental Clinic(s) – This is a German Army Treatment Facility that provides general medical care for patients >12 years of age. Treatment is FREE OF CHARGE for U.S. ID card holders including civilian employees and their family members living and working in Garmisch – NOT for retirees or visitors. They do not have Physical or Occupational Therapy services, optometry, or specialty care. If a patient requires specialty care, the patient can be referred to a specialist within their (German) military medical system, but the patient will incur no costs for OUTPATIENT care. If a patient requires inpatient care, they may go on the economy (where they will be responsible for the bill or TRICARE will cover the bill for TRICARE Prime patients), or they may be referred to the Bundeswehr Krankenhaus (German Army Hospital) in Ulm, where the patient will only have to pay a small fee daily for meals . Effective 1 September 2013, all authorized Garmisch personnel and their Family members using the Mittenwald medical and dental clinics will need a letter of authorization issued by the Passport & ID Card Office (bldg 203) to receive care. The TRICARE representative will carry your letter(s) to the Mittenwald clinic. The letter(s) will remain in your medical file until needed and/or they expire. To make a same-day appointment, call @ 0700. To get an appointment within a week, call after 0900. Please keep in mind, that, while the providers understand and speak English, as they study it for several years in school, not all the booking clerks may. If you would like assistance booking an appointment, please contact the TRICARE Office. Dental Clinic Sick-Call starts at 0730.
