PHA SECNAVINST 6120.3A
Electronic Health Assessment

NMAU assists active duty members and their families with completing their OPERATIONAL/OVERSEAS/SEA DUTY/SUITABILITY SCREENING (all refer to the same screening), or MEDICAL ASSIGNMENT SCREENING (after a period of limited duty).  Per BUMEDINST 1300.2B, the Suitability Screening process is required to be completed within 30 days of receipt of orders, 60 days for dependents. It is important that a Suitability Screening is thoroughly completed on each service and family member that is selected to go overseas.

Process Steps

1. Contact NMAU by UN-ENCRYPTED email: usn.lemoore.navhosplemooreca.list.nhlem-monterey-suitability@health.mil with the following information, to begin a Suitability Screening:
   1. -Name/Rank
   2. -Next Duty Station/Unit
   3. -Planned PCS Date
   4. -Telephone
   5. -Dependents (if going OCONUS or enrolled in EFMP)
   6. * SPECIAL PHYSICAL (i.e., SUB/DIVE/SPECOP/AIRCREW/FLIGHT)-if applicable to orders
   7. COPY OF ORDERS                                                                                                                      
2. From here, NMAU will provide forms and due requirements, with instructions on how to complete. *IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED ON FORMS OTHER THAN FORMS NMAU PROVIDES, PLEASE BE SURE THEY ARE THE MOST UP TO DATE REVISIONS (REV FOUND AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF FORMS). ANY OUTDATED FORMS ARE OBSOLETE AND CANNOT BE ACCEPTED*

SM has 30 days and family members have 60 days to complete their screening-from the time SM  receives the orders or letter of instruction.

Limited Duty (LIMDU) / Physical Evaluation Board (PEB)

Temporary Limited Duty (TLD) is defined as a documented period of medically restricted duty, in consideration of a patient’s illness, injury, or disease process. Placement of TLD is most appropriate only for Sailors whom a return to medically unrestricted duty status is anticipated. TLD may only be provided as the result of the actions of a Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) properly convened at a Military Treatment Facility (MTF).  TLD is a period when the member reports to their workspace, but during the period the member is excused from the performance of certain aspects of military duties, as defined in their individual TLD write-up. During TLD, the member undergoes continued care, recovery, and rehabilitation aimed at returning the member to a medically unrestricted status.

Physical Evaluation Board/Integrated Disability Evaluation System (PEB or IDES): A case usually enters the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) when a MEB is dictated for the purpose of evaluating the diagnosis and treatment of a member who is unable to return to military duty.  The member’s condition most likely is permanent or chronic, and/or any further period of TLD is unlikely to return the member to full duty.

A condition is considered permanent when the nature and degree of the condition render the member unable to continue naval service within a reasonable period of time (normally 8-12 months or less).  Note: The term "permanent" does not necessarily mean the condition is unfitting.

Referral of a Medical Board report to the PEB can be referred for IDES by Pers-454 (service headquarters) or submitted directly to the PEB by an MTF.

The only way to be on LIMDU status is by the PCM recommendation, the only way to change the LIMDU status is the PCM recommendation.

Process Steps

1. PCM decides if the SM needs to be on LIMDU status, and complete enrollment into the LIMDU SMART system.
2. F/ U with LIMDU coordinator on monthly basis
3. Notify LIMDU Coordinator if there is any change in medical condition.
4. See your PCM 30 days prior to LIMDU expiration
5. At the 30 day mark PCM will decide if another period of LIMDU will be issued
6. If extension is granted by your PCM repeat step 2,3 and 4
7. Member can be on LIMDU for only 12 months, if LIMDU status continues past 365 days, they must be referred for PEB.
8. The member does not have to complete a full year on LIMDU status if the PCM decides that the SM's injury prevents a return to full duty. At any point, a PCM can initiate the patient for PEB if they feel recovery will take longer than one year.

Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)

The Department of the Navy (DON) EFM was established in September 1987 to coordinate early, special education and related services for children with disabilities who are attending, or eligible to attend. The DON EFM evolved to include the identification and enrollment of all family members with special needs at overseas and Continental United States (CONUS) locations. It is DON policy to ensure Navy families with exceptional family members (EFMs) are assigned only to areas where their EFMs medical and educational needs can be met. Failure to enroll family members with special needs may result in arrival at overseas or remote duty assignments with requirements beyond the capability of local medical, educational, or community resources. This may result in unnecessary family hardship and personnel practices such as the early reassignment of the Service member due to inadequate educational / medical support.

EFM enrollment is mandatory and required immediately upon identification of a special need. DD form 2792, Exceptional Family Member Medical and DD form 2792-1, Exceptional Family Member Special Education/Early Intervention Summary are used for enrollment. An IEP or IFSP is also required depending on the child’s age.

Eligible Exceptional Family Members Include:
•    Dependent(s) of an active duty service member
•    Spouse, child, or parent
•    Resides with the sponsor (51%)
•    Requires medical specialty care or has a chronic medical condition requiring more than annual visits with a primary care physician
•    Eligible for early intervention services (IFSP)
•    Eligible for special education or related services (IEP)

DD 2792 MEDICAL SUMMARY (required for all dependents enrolled in EFMP) should be completed alongside the DD 2807 during the screening appointment with the provider. This will prevent redundant provider visits in the case of newly discovered medical needs. MAKE SURE TO SIGN PAGE 2 AND BLOCK 9.

DD 2792-1 EDUCATION SUMMARY (required for all children birth to 22) is to be completed by parent and school (if applicable). Follow the form instructions block by block. MAKE SURE TO SIGN BLOCK 7 AND 9.

(IEP) INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLAN (required for children 3-22 that need additional educational services). This should be provided by the school that completes the DD 2792-1.

(IFSP) INDIVIDUAL FAMILY SERVICE PLAN (required for children birth-3 receiving Early Developmental Intervention Services).
 

Process Steps

1. As soon as Dependent is identified as possible EFM case, the case will be forwarded to EFM Coordinator
2. SM and possible EFM are required to fill out DD Form 2792 and DD Form 2792-1 with the EFM’s provider 
3. Once complete, email the EFM coordinator with the forms via DOD SAFE.
4. Once the EFM package is completed and reviewed by the EFM coordinator the package will be forwarded to Central Screening Committee (CSC)
5. Sponsor may view their EFM status by accessing their family member information in the Navy Family Accountability Assessment System (NFAAS)
6. EFM enrollment will need to be updated every three years or if there is a change in the medical status of the dependent, complete steps 1-4.

People First, Excellence and Character Always

Sick Call: Sick call hours are from 0730-1600 Monday through Friday with the exception of our lunch hour from 1200-1300. It is recommended that you call early in the morning to guarantee an appointment on the same day. 

Exam: Annual exams are routinely scheduled every 20 minutes. We ask that you allow yourself a full hour as unexpected delays and sick call patients occasionally interrupt the exam schedule. Every attempt will be made to get you in and out in a timely manner. Please understand that we are required by NAVY directives to maintain a DENTAL READINESS LEVEL to ensure MISSION READINESS. Therefore, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible for scheduling.

Overseas Screeening: We ask that you call us to schedule an appointment. Please attempt to have all family members present at one time. You should have all necessary forms (e.g.... NAVPERS 1300/1 or equivalent) and bring photocopies of ALL treatment provided by current local civilian dentists. You may ask your family member's dentist to provide duplicate or original x-rays for the screening. Otherwise, new x-rays will be taken.

Cleanings: Routine cleanings are provided as needed depending on the recommendation of the Dental Officer. You must FIRST schedule an exam before your cleaning appointment or a cleaning must be indicated in your current treatment plan, if recently seen at a previous command.

Restorative Dentistry: We provide a wide variety of routine filling procedures and use both white fillings and silver fillings as indicated but we will take your personal preference of material choice into consideration.  

Specialty Care: Currently all specialty care is referred out to local civilian facilities. We will refer out for root canals, oral surgery procedures, crown and bridge and implants. For implant treatment to be approved you must have a minimum of two year orders. Orthodontic treatment is currently not authorized at this command. 

Night Guards/Sports Guards: Night guards and mouth guards require an evaluation from NPS dental officer. Referrals are made based on need and or symptoms.
