The MEDDET/DSS is not responsible for the duty status of individual being serviced. It is the Soldier and the Unit responsibility to ensure they are on a duty status when receiving services.
Periodic Health Assessment:
The PHA is an annual readiness assessment of the Soldier’s medical readiness that includes:
Dental: Dental screening will be completed at the PHA unless you turn-in a completed
DD Form 2813 from your dentist. The DD Form 2813 must be dated
within 6 months of your appointment and the classification will stay valid for 1 year from the date on the form.
Soldiers can obtain free dental examination and/or treatment by the Army contracted provider Logistics Health Incorporated (LHI). Contact your unit administrator to request a
voucher if you are dental readiness classification (DRC) 3 or 4.
Vision: If you wear glasses, you must bring them with you to your appointment. You will have both uncorrected and corrected vision screening.
Hearing: Please refrain from exposure to loud sounds for 14 hours prior to your appointment which can temporarily alter your results and trigger the need for additional testing.
Fasting: All Soldiers age 40 and over will be screened for their cardiovascular risk percentage and will be required to fast from 10:00pm the night before their appointment. You can only drink water.
Online portion of PHA:
The online portion of the PHA can only be completed on a network connected computer. To complete, log on to Medical Readiness Portal at
https://medpros.mods.army.mil/portal/ (CAC Required). It can also be accessed through Army Knowledge Online (AKO) at
www.us.army.mil, then look under “My Cards” for My Medical Readiness.
At the bottom under “Self-service” select Periodic Health Assess then select “Start New Survey.”
The survey must be completed prior to reporting for Part 2 of the PHA.
Duty Restrictions:
It is the Soldier’s responsibility to report any medical problems immediately to the chain of command and comply with medical restrictions. Commanders will honor a private physician’s recommendations until the Soldier is evaluated by a military provider and issued DA Form 3349. Soldiers should not wait until their PHA to report medical condition/problem.
Women’s Health:
Examinations specific to women are no long mandatory, however, female Soldiers need to be aware of evidence-based preventive health service and should follow current guidelines in accordance with the U.S. Preventative Service Task Force A and B recommendations, which can be found at
www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/page/name/recommendations.
