The FTCA generally excludes claims arising in a foreign country. If you were harmed at an overseas military facility, your legal options depend on the country or territory, your status at the time of care, and the facts of the claim.
The foreign-country exception in 28 U.S.C. § 2680(k) applies even when care was provided at a U.S. military facility. Depending on eligibility, administrative remedies may be available under the Military Claims Act or the separate service-member medical malpractice process in 10 U.S.C. § 2733a. These are distinct from an FTCA lawsuit. U.S. territories should be evaluated separately from foreign countries.
Our VA medical malpractice lawyers can evaluate which claims process may apply. A facility's inclusion in this directory does not establish negligence or eligibility for compensation. Contact us promptly to discuss your circumstances.
Different claims processes have specific filing requirements and deadlines. Seek advice promptly about when your claim accrued and where it must be presented.
Understanding the review
Care settingOverseas military medical facilities
The care setting is part of the picture. The provider, the circumstances, and the records also matter.
Explore the questions
The location of care and the provider’s employment status help identify which rules may apply. Care at a federal facility does not by itself establish a claim.
Useful to knowThe facility name and the provider’s role help frame the initial questions.
Treatment notes, tests, referrals, and follow-up records help connect the sequence of care and the questions that need review.
Useful to knowThink about the care received, the changes in condition, and the follow-up that occurred.
An FTCA lawsuit generally names the United States as the defendant. Active-duty servicemembers may have separate remedies; eligibility depends on the facts and applicable rules.
Useful to knowThe care setting, provider status, and circumstances must be considered together.
A poor outcome alone does not establish medical malpractice.
The FTCA generally does not cover claims arising in a foreign country (28 U.S.C. § 2680(k)). Depending on the patient's status, the location and the facts, a different administrative remedy may be available, including the Military Claims Act or the service-member medical malpractice process under 10 U.S.C. § 2733a. An attorney can assess which process applies.
A U.S. military base in a foreign country is not automatically covered by the FTCA. The foreign-country exception in 28 U.S.C. § 2680(k) must be considered. U.S. territories and foreign countries are different jurisdictions, so the facility's precise location matters.
The deadline depends on the applicable claims process and when the claim accrued. The Military Claims Act and the service-member remedy in 10 U.S.C. § 2733a generally require presentation within two years after accrual, subject to the applicable statutory rules. Obtain advice promptly rather than assuming the FTCA process applies.
Potential administrative remedies depend on the patient's status and the circumstances of care. An attorney can evaluate the Military Claims Act (10 U.S.C. § 2733), the separate service-member medical malpractice remedy (10 U.S.C. § 2733a), and any other applicable process. Listing a facility here does not establish that an FTCA claim is available.
