What happens if I become sick/injured while I’m on active duty for training (ADT)?
(HPSP Handbook 14-4a) Since the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services ( CHAMPUS)/TRICARE programs change, students should always follow the instructions of the representatives directly providing the information. If you become sick/injured while on ADT you will be provided health care at the medical treatment facility on the installation. If the injury will require long-term treatment you will need to obtain a line of duty determination prior to departing the military training site. The physician in charge of your case will be able to issue this document. Injury/illness that is the direct result of your performance in the line of duty may be grounds for granting an active duty medical extension (ADME) order. This order will allow you to continue to seek medical treatment at the nearest military medical treatment facility, or at your school at the government’s expense for up to 179 days after the final date of your ADT.
