What folder designation is used for a retired member's new medical record?

• A. NAVMED 6150/21-30 folder.
• B. NAVMED 6150/4 folder.
• C. NAVMED 6150/10 folder.
• D. NAVMED 6150/1 folder.

Answer: (A)

Navy medical records use specific folder designations to identify the status and type of a file. When a member retires and a new medical record is created for post-service care, the file is placed in the retired member designation range, which is NAVMED 6150/21-30. This keeps the retiree’s medical history separate from active-duty records and ensures proper archival and accessibility for care after separation. The other folder numbers are used for different record situations (such as active-duty or other care scenarios), so they don’t apply to a retired member’s new medical record.
