The Geilenkirchen TRICARE Service Center offers a variety of resources, including TRICARE enrollments/disenrollments, civilian and military medical referral coordination, medical bill processing, Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) assistance, overseas clearances, and TRICARE benefits counseling.

The GK Dental Clinic offers complete dental care for active duty members. Services for active duty family members are limited to annual exams and cleanings.
