Upon retirement, what is established and what may be incorporated into a NAVMED folder?

• A. A new HREC is established.
• B. No new record is created; the HREC stays in place.
• C. A new medical record (OREC) may be established, and a copy of the active duty HREC may be incorporated into a NAVMED 6150/21-30 folder.
• D. The HREC is transferred to Family Medical Records.

Answer: (C)

When retirement happens, a new medical record (OREC) is established to carry the retiree’s ongoing health information. At the same time, a copy of the active-duty health record (HREC) may be incorporated into a NAVMED 6150/21-30 folder. This arrangement preserves the service member’s medical history for civilian healthcare and future reference, while keeping the retiree’s records organized within the Navy system.
