⚠️ Holloman Clinic Update: Temporary Off-Base Referrals (June 1 - Oct 29)

Due to a temporary provider shortage, we have limited appointment slots this summer. To make sure you still get timely care, if we cannot see non-active duty patients (under 65) within 1 week for routine care (or 4 weeks for preventive), we will refer you to a provider off-base.

How to get care:
1️⃣ Call us first: Dial 575-572-2778 to try and book.
2️⃣ Get Referred: If we are fully booked, we will submit a network referral (please allow 72 hours to process).
3️⃣ Book Off-Base: Track your referral and book your visit at https://tricare-bene.triwest.com or call 575-572-1926.

Quick Facts:
• You remain enrolled with your Holloman PCM.
• Dependents can still use off-base Urgent Care without a referral.
• Standard TRICARE co-pays apply for retirees/families.

Questions? Contact our Patient Advocate at 575-572-0812.

Thank you for your patience!
