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.
