PART 2 “Virtual”

What is the Virtually Integrated Patient Readiness & Remote Care (VIPRR) Clinic?

The VIPRR clinic is a virtually integrated patient readiness and remote care clinic aimed at providing support for

Service Members (SMs) in need of completing the annual Periodic Health Assessment (PHA), Post Deployment

Health Assessments (PDHA), and Post Deployment Health Reassessments (PDHRA).

The annual PHA requirement is sometimes challenging to complete for SMs due to access-to care or physical

distance from a Military Treatment Facility (MTF). Thousands of soldiers and beneficiaries are located remotely,

enrolled in Tricare Prime Remote and have no organic military medical providers in their geographic location.

These Soldiers are not enrolled in a Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH), making it difficult to complete

required readiness requirements without traveling great distances or requesting support through the Reserve

Health Readiness Program .
