❗ New! Virtual Urgent Care is Here with VIPRR!
TRICARE Prime beneficiaries age 12 and older now have a convenient way to access urgent care services – virtually! The Virtually Integrated Patient Readiness and Remote Program (VIPRR) allows patients to schedule a virtual urgent care appointment by calling the MHS Nurse Advice Line at 1-800-TRICARE or visiting the MHS NAL website at https://mhsnurseadviceline.com/home

Here’s how the program works:
A nurse will assess the medical condition to determine if virtual care is appropriate. If suitable, an appointment will be scheduled with the VIPRR care clinic. If virtual care is not appropriate, the nurse will attempt to schedule an appointment with the patient’s primary care provider. VIPRR appointments are available from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. CST.

For more information on telehealth services offered through TRICARE, visit https://tricare.mil/GettingCare/VirtualHealth

☀️ Enjoy Summer—Without the Ticks! 🌿

Warmer weather means more time outdoors—and more tick activity. 🕷️ Whether you’re hiking, working outside, or enjoying time with family, take a few simple steps to protect yourself from tick bites this summer.

🔎 Found a tick attached to your skin?
Remove it as soon as possible using the proper technique.
➡️ Learn how to safely remove a tick: https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/after-a-tick-bite/index.html

🧪 Know what bit you.
Ticks can carry several diseases that may cause similar symptoms. The MilTICK Program can identify your tick and test it at no cost, providing information that may help your healthcare provider evaluate symptoms that develop after a bite.

🛡️ Prevent bites before they happen.
Maximize your protection by using the DoD Insect Repellent System and taking simple precautions to reduce tick exposure while outdoors.
