PENSACOLA, Fla. - In March, Naval Hospital Pensacola launched a new app for beneficiaries.
The hospital’s branch clinics now have their own app, including Naval Branch Health Clinics Naval Air Station Pensacola, Naval Air Technical Training Center and Corry Station.
The free smartphone apps allow beneficiaries assigned to the branch clinics to have access to clinic and medical information with their phone.
“Each branch clinic has their own beneficiaries who need information specific to them,” said Capt. Maureen Padden, commanding officer, Naval Hospital Pensacola. “That is why we developed an app for each branch clinic. Beneficiaries enrolled to any of our branch clinics can now have access to everything they need to manage their health care on their phone.”
Just like the NHP app, beneficiaries enrolled to one of the branch clinics can use the app to access a phone directory, make an appointment by either phone or with TRICARE Online, send a secure message via RelayHealth to their Medical Homeport Team, order prescription refills through TRICARE Online and more.
“All of our apps were designed to give our beneficiaries a tool to help them manage their health care,” said Padden. “Whether enrolled to the hospital or one of the branch clinics, the apps are a convenient resource for health care information.”
The apps also include links to the Interactive Customer Service (ICE) website where beneficiaries can leave comments about their experience and access to the Nurse Advice Line. The Nurse Advice Line is a live nurse 24 hours a day who can assist TRICARE beneficiaries with health care questions or concerns.
The apps continue to evolve and more information is added to them that are relevant to beneficiaries. With April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a Safe Helpline link was added to all of the apps. The Department of Defense’s Safe Helpline is a crisis support service for members of the DoD community affected by sexual assault. The service is confidential, anonymous, secure and available worldwide.
All of the apps are available for Android or iOS phones. To download the NHP app, search Naval Hospital Pensacola in an app store. To download one of the local branch clinic apps, search NBHC NASP, NBHC NATTC or NBHC Corry Station in an app store.
