A CHCS admission notification letter is generated each time which type of patient is admitted to the MTF?

• A. A Patient With Private Insurance Is Admitted to the MTF
• B. An SI/VSI or III Patient Admitted to the MTF
• C. An O-6 or Above Admitted to the MTF
• D. An Active Duty Patient Admitted to the MTF

Answer: (D)

Active duty status is the trigger for the CHCS Admission Notification Letter. When an active duty service member is admitted to a military treatment facility, the CHCS system generates this notification to inform the member’s unit and relevant medical staff. This supports medical readiness and accountability, ensuring the command is aware of the service member’s admission and any expected return-to-duty timeline. It isn’t generated for dependents, retirees, or other non-active-duty patients, and it isn’t based on rank—the key factor is that the patient is on active duty.
