- Childbirth Class: KACH is sponsoring the second in a series of childbirth classes Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m., 2nd floor Keller Café. Please telephone the Obstetrics Unit at 938-3210/2364 to sign up.
- The Health Care Information Line offers TRICARE beneficiaries 24-hour, 365 days-a-year access to health information from registered nurses.
For potentially serious problems, the caller will be directed to the appropriate level of medical care. For non-life threatening illnesses, the nurses will provide guidance on how to handle the symptoms.
You can reach the HCIL nurses by calling 800-308-3518.
- Allergy patients receiving Immunotherapy at KACH will not be able to schedule appointments during the week of 7-10 May. Please contact the Allergy/Immunization technician to make arrangements for treatment prior to clinic closure dates. Call 938-8476 for assistance.
- TRICARE help is available at the local TRICARE Service Center and at Keller Hospital.
The TSC at 273 Main Street in Highland Falls provides walk-in assistance with your TRICARE issues and problems, including enrollment problems.
The Health Benefits Advisors at KACH can assist you with TRICARE issues; however, they must coordinate all enrollment problems with the TSC and cannot accept your TRICARE Prime Enrollment forms.
You may call the Health Benefits Advisors at 845-938-4838 or visit them in the Patient Service center on the first floor of the hospital.
To better assist you, regardless of whether you contact the TSC or the Health Benefits Advisors, have all your TRICARE documentation handy
