Leadership asking for spouses healthcare information?

As an Active Duty Service Member, am I required to provide my leadership with the Name and Contact number of my spouse’s Healthcare Provider? If not, can anyone provide that

As with anything in the military if you don't what to give information... tell them you don't know and I will get it to you ASAP....repeat is necessary...Normally they move on and forget about it. Where you get in trouble is refusal. I used this to avoid the Anthrax series of vaccinations while others got sick and or charged for refusing ( no one got the full series that I knew) I was going to do it ASAP....Yes Sir...same thing with the Flu shot.

That depends on the nature of the request.

Not without a valid reason no. Military has you under contract, not her. They don't need to know who her provider is, at all.

So, to clarify, they aren't randomly trying to obtain information about your spouse, rather, it is related to EFMP and orders for an overseas assignment.
Also, is your CoC requesting this, or is it for S-1 types?
You certainly have the right to not provide any information, as the Army has the right to send you on the overseas tour unaccompanied if they lack the information required to make a determination as to whether any speciality medical care is available at the overseas location.
You may believe you've provided everything you need, but your not the one evaluating what was provided.
