NOTES:  
Note 1.   RHCA provides medical and dental care in DOD facilities without cost, except where stipulated by notes. Patients referred to civilian healthcare facilities may not be covered under these RHCAs. When patients are transferred, financial responsibility should be addressed with the military hospital patient administrator.
Note 2.   Dental care in DOD facilities to the same extent that such care is made available to U.S. Family members. This means space-available status for care.
Note 3. In all cases, the patient will pay for meals consumed in DOD facilities.
Note 4. In all cases, care is always subject to regulations and availability of funds.
Note 5. Canada RHCA excludes FMS IMS, thus NATO agreement applies.
Note 6. Ecuador RHCA excludes FMS or IMET IMS and Family members.
Note 7. Venezuela RHCA excludes IMET IMS, thus any charges are billed to the IMET program. RHCA includes IMET Family members and WHINSEC guest instructors.
Note 8. Only applies to those assigned to the national capital region, Virginia, Maryland and D.C.
Note 9. Applies to IMET Family members and military and FM assigned to the Inter-American Defense Board and or Defense College.
Note 10. RCHA does not apply to IMET or FMS IMS nor Family members.
