Medical and Dental Insurance: Off-Base

Some medical/dental insurance plans may not have partnerships with off-base or overseas medical services. You should research the best insurance company/plan before coming to Naples.

Effective 1 August 2015, USNH Naples no longer files insurance claims on behalf of non-TRICARE beneficiary patients. Hospital staff will instead send billing information regarding your visit to the U.S. Treasury’s Centralized Receivables Service (CRS), the new invoicing and collections system for Navy Medicine. CRS will then mail out an invoice directly to you. Upon receipt, you will have 30 days, interest-free, to make payment arrangements, file a claim with your insurer, or file a dispute with CRS.

It is important to be your own advocate when it comes to medical health insurance for you and your family. Ensure that you are aware of your insurance provider’s coverage and rules and regulations for overseas care.
