The United States Army is committed to providing quality health care for active-duty service members, their dependents, and retired service members. Historically, the Army has never had enough active-duty physicians to provide care for all its beneficiaries. Alternatives utilizing civilian health care providers have been established to provide the balance of the medical services. In this review, the cost of each of the civilian health care providers in the Ft. Hood, Texas area is compared to that of the Army pediatrician. The Army pediatrician proves to be the least expensive of the health care providers.
美国陆军致力于为现役军人、其家属以及退役军人提供高质量的医疗保健服务。从历史上看，陆军现役医生的数量一直不足以满足所有受益人的医疗需求。因此，已建立起利用民间医疗服务提供者的替代方案，以提供其余的医疗服务。在本综述中，将德克萨斯州胡德堡地区各类民间医疗服务提供者的成本与陆军儿科医生的成本进行了比较。结果表明，陆军儿科医生是成本最低的医疗服务提供者。
