Sec. 31.10  Dependent members of families; use of Service facilities.

    (a) A dependent member of the family of any person specified in 
Sec. 31.9 shall, upon presentation of satisfactory evidence of such 
status, be entitled to medical advice and out-patient treatment at 
first-, second-, and third-class medical relief stations and 
hospitalization at first-class stations if suitable accommodations are 
available therein and if the condition of the dependent is such as to 
require hospitalization, both as determined by the medical officer in 
charge.
    (b) Hospitalization at first-class stations shall be at a per diem 
cost to the officer, enlisted person, member of a crew or other person 
concerned. Such cost shall be at such uniform rate as may be prescribed 
from time to time by the President for the hospitalization of dependents 
of naval and Marine Corps personnel at any naval hospital.
    (c) Hospitalization at first-class stations and out-patient 
treatment at first-, second-, and third-class stations may include such 
services and supplies as, in the judgment of the medical officer in 
charge, are necessary for reasonable and adequate treatment.
    (d) Dental treatment shall be furnished to the extent of available 
facilities only at medical relief stations where full-time officers are 
on duty.
