Getting Care

MHS GENESIS is Here!

On September 24, the Department of Defense’s new electronic health record (EHR), MHS GENESIS, launched here at Eglin AFB. MHS GENESIS has replaced TRICARE Online at this facility. 

What is MHS GENESIS?

MHS GENESIS is the new EHR that provides you and your doctor’s enhanced, secure technology to manage your health information. When fully deployed, MHS GENESIS will be the single health record for service members, veterans, and their families. >>Learn More about MHS GENESIS

What is the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal?

Along with the new EHR, the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal is a secure website available 24/7 that gives you access to your health information. Through the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal, you can:
  • View health information
  • Schedule appointments
  • Communicate securely with providers
  • Request prescription refills
The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal is replacing the TRICARE Online Secure Patient Portal.

What does this mean for me?

MHS GENESIS and the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal are replacing TRICARE Online, including the patient portal and secure messaging at this facility.
  • If you had a current TRICARE Online account, it was migrated to MHS GENESIS on September 24. No action is necessary from you.
  • If you don’t already have a TRICARE Online account, you can log onto https://my.mhsgenesis.health.mil using your DS Logon Premium Account.
  • If don’t have a DS Logon Premium Account or if you have questions about DS Logon, visit the milConnect Website or call 1-800-538-9552.

What happens next?

Appointment availability from September to December may be affected, and appointment times may increase as our medics adjust to new technology and workflows. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we integrate MHS GENESIS to provide you with top-notch care.
 
Don't forget to keep your family's information up-to-date in DEERS.
