The following information is exchanged: • One copy of International Travel Order is obtained and reviewed for accuracy with officer • Copy of insurance information to include insurance cards obtained • How appointments are obtained • Specifics to our MTF • Health concerns for officer or family members • School/day care physical exam forms provided • CHCS (Composite Health Care System) input form completed • Pregnancy policy discussed • CHCS input – Every officer and dependent is entered into the CHCS database. Notes are taken on information still needed
Making It Work for Me • Registration – Hosted by the International Office Student Division. All officers and dependents have official pictures taken and are provided information from various activities on/off post (public and private school systems, day care, post office, financial, law enforcement, healthcare, etc.) Note: This is my opportunity to clarify/obtain any information needed • Finalize CHCS database and create file folders for each family
Liaison/Exchange Officers • The Security Assistance Office on post sends me an updated listing of officers. It includes their country, rank, name, office location and phone number, and the dates of arrival and departure • The Security Assistance Office also directs each new officer to visit my office and provide me with required data to obtain healthcare from this MTF
