Why Kaneohe patients choose video.
Crossing the Koolau for an appointment turns a 45-minute visit into a half-day. Windward patients use video to keep the whole course of care on this side of the mountain, with mornings, evenings and weekends available.

TRICARE in Kaneohe, step by step.
Marine Corps Base Hawaii is on Mokapu Peninsula, served by Branch Health Clinic Kaneohe Bay. Physical therapy at the branch clinic serves active duty, so spouses and family members typically use the TRICARE West network. TRICARE Select needs no referral; TRICARE Prime beneficiaries ask their primary care manager at the Kaneohe Bay clinic for a pelvic floor physical therapy referral.
EMS Therapy is in-network with TRICARE West. Veterans can also ask their VA provider for a pelvic floor physical therapy consult through VA community care. TRICARE in Hawaii, plan by plan · Veterans.
