EFMP Screening and Eligibility

What is the EFMP?

The EFMP supports families with special medical and educational needs. Each branch has its own EFMP and enrollment process. You can enroll in the EFMP during duty assignment.

All family members who accompany active duty sponsors to a location outside of the continental U.S. at government expense must be screened for special needs and the potential EFMP enrollment (CONUS-to-OCONUS or OCONUS-to-OCONUS assignments).  All family members who require special services due to an identified disability must be enrolled in EFMP.

When

• Overseas screening must be done prior to issuance of family travel orders.
• Family members will be screened when service members are at an OCONUS duty station serving an unaccompanied tour and request command sponsorship/ Family member travel, including service members who acquire family members OCONUS.

Where

What

• Family members (72 months and older) require a physical exam within 12 months of the OCONUS report date.
• New family members who have not established military medical records must schedule a physical with their primary medical provider and complete a DD 2792 and 2792-1 (if applicable)
• Family members who do not live near an military hospital or clinic must contact the closest EFMP coordinator for a physical exam letter and SF 506 (Medical Evaluation).

How

The military clinic will NOT schedule an overseas screening appointment if it  has not been signed.

The DA Form 5888 and DA Form 7246 must be authenticated with an military clinic stamp from an authorized medical provider. (Note: Not all medical providers can perform overseas screenings. If a non-authorized physician signs the forms and / or the forms are not stamped by the military hospital or clinic, military personnel will NOT accept them, and orders will be delayed.)
• The DA Form 5888 and DA Form 7246 (once signed and stamped appropriately) will be returned to the service member who will take the forms to the military personnel reassignment office for processing.
• If EFMP enrollment is determined to be warranted, the EFMP coordinator will process the DD Form 2792.
