Patient Administration
The Patient Administration Division has a dedicated staff that can assist you in many areas. This includes our Release of Information (ROI), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Admissions and Dispositions, Coding and Outpatient Records.
Admissions & Dispositions
Every patient that is admitted or discharged from Martin Army Community Hospital must go through the Admissions & Dispositions Office. Upon admission the patient must present a valid Military Identification Card to verify eligibility for Military Healthcare. If the patient has Other Health Insurance (OHI), please provide this information to the Admission Clerk and complete a Third Party Collection Program Record of Other Health Insurance, DD Form 2569.
In addition to patient admissions, the Admissions & Dispositions office performs inpatient tracking and accountability, constructs Line of Duty's (LOD), coordinates AIREVACs, and initiates Secretary of the Army Designee (SAD) program requests.
