The Secretary of the Navy can send Navy members to other U.S. hospitals when no Navy hospital is available, as long as the other hospital agrees. The government pays for that care the same way it would pay for care in a Navy hospital.

(a) When there is no available naval hospital that can properly treat them, the Secretary of the Navy may arrange for members of the naval service who are entitled to naval hospital treatment to receive care at other United States hospitals instead — but only if the agencies running those other hospitals agree. The costs of this care are charged to the same government appropriation that would have paid for care at a naval hospital. (b) The deduction allowed under section 4812 of the Revised Statutes (24 U.S.C. 16) must be taken from the accounts of members hospitalized under this section.
