Sec. 728.80  U.S. Government employees.

    (a) Civil service employees of all Federal agencies, including 
teachers employed by Department of Defense Dependent's Schools (DODDS) 
and their dependents, may be provided hospitalization and necessary 
outpatient services, (other than occupational health services), on a 
reimbursable basis, outside the continental limits of the United States 
and in Alaska, where facilities are not otherwise available in 
reasonably accessible and appropriate non-Federal hospitals. Except for 
employees who are serving aboard naval vessels, hospitalization may be 
furnished only for acute medical and surgical conditions, exclusive of 
nervous, mental, or contagious diseases or those requiring domiciliary 
care. Routine dental care, other than dental prosthesis and orthodontia, 
is authorized on a space available basis provided facilities are not 
otherwise available in reasonably accessible and appropriate non-Federal 
facilities.
    (b) Such civilian employees and their dependents may be provided 
medical, surgical, dental treatment, hospitalization, and optometric 
care at installations in the United States which have been designated 
remote by the Secretary of the Navy for the purpose of providing medical 
care.
    (c) The major objective of the following programs for civil service 
employees, regardless of location, is emergency treatment for relief of 
minor ailments or injuries to keep the employee on the job:
    (1) The Department of Labor, Office of Workers' Compensation 
Programs (OWCP), governs the overall medical care program for employees 
of the Government who sustain injuries while in

the performance of duty, including diseases proximately caused by 
conditions of employment (see Sec. 728.53).
    (2) Federal civil service employees and applicants for such 
employment are authorized services as outlined in chapter 22, section 
XIII, of the Manual of the Medical Department (MANMED). When 
appropriated fund and nonappropriated fund employees, including unpaid 
volunteer employees, require emergency and nonemergency occupational 
health services due to an illness or an injury on the job, provide this 
limited care through your occupational health service, emergency room, 
or evening primary care clinic, as appropriate. This care is rendered 
free of charge to the employee, the employee's command, or insurance 
carrier. Included with this group are Military Sealift Command (MSC) 
civilian marine personnel (authorized additional care and services as 
outlined in BUMINST 6320.52 and care under Sec. 728.53(a)(7)) and 
members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
serving with the Navy.
    (3) Under the technical control of the Surgeon General of the Army, 
the DOD Civilian Employees' Health Service is responsible for 
administering the health program for all Federal civil service employees 
in the District of Columbia area.
    (d) Care, other than occupational health services, is provided on a 
reimbursable basis. Complete and submit, per subpart J, a DD 7 (Report 
of Treatment Furnished Pay Patients, Hospitalization Furnished, part A) 
or DD 7A (Report of Treatment Furnished Pay Patients, Outpatient 
Treatment, part B) when outpatient or inpatient care is rendered.
