§34 — Title 24 Hospitals and Asylums | U.S. Code

Summary

Naval hospitals and clinics outside the continental United States and in Alaska may provide hospital and clinic care to more people. In addition to those already allowed (for example, Navy and Marine Corps dependents), they can treat federal officers and employees, employees of U.S. contractors and subcontractors and their dependents, and other people in emergencies if the Secretary of the Navy allows it. Care for people who are not Navy or Marine dependents is allowed only when a reasonably accessible, appropriate non‑Federal hospital is not available. The President sets the charges for those patients, and the payments must be deposited under section 32 of this title.
