Periodic Health Update (PHU)

Officers are required to undergo annual periodic health updates to better protect their health and meet mission priorities.  Maintaining this requirement is also vital to assuring your continued access and continuity of services at military treatment facilities. This annual requirement must be submitted between the first day of the month prior to the officer’s birth month through the last day of the month after the officer’s birth month (3-month window).

The PHU has five components:

1. Medical History: Self-reported, and must be given to the officer’s primary care provider for review and verification (form DD-2807-1)
2. Physical Examination: Based on the officer’s health risk factors, as determined by the officer’s provider. Minimal requirements are the officer’s vital signs and weight (form DD-2808) (Right Click and Save Link if you have issues viewing)
3. Behavioral Health Survey: Self-reported and given to the officer’s provider for review. The behavioral health survey will facilitate a discussion with the provider about the mental well-being of the officer (form PHS-7083).
4. Dental examination: (form DD-2813) (Right Click and Save Link if you have issues viewing)
5. Additional tests: Screening tests as recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) (e.g., cervical, breast and colorectal cancer screening) and any other testing recommended by the officer’s provider based on the officer’s age, medical, family, and deployment history, and the officer’s occupational and environmental exposures and risks
