The most recent appropriations for the Department of War expired at 11:59 p.m. EST on September 30, 2025. Military personnel will continue in a normal duty status without pay until such time as a continuing resolution or appropriations are passed by Congress and signed into law. Civilian personnel not engaged in excepted activities will be placed in a non-work, non-pay status.
If you have a scheduled appointment or other business at the MTF, please verify with your provider or applicable office within the MTF to ensure there are no changes in schedule. To learn how the lapse in appropriations affects your TRICARE benefit, visit tricare.mil/shutdown.

Readiness

The Periodic Health Assessment is an annual requirement for all active duty service members during their birth month. PHA appointments are essential to assess numerous various aspects of care as they relate to a specific service members need. During the PHA, Individual Medical Readiness requirements and Deployment-Related Health Assessments are identified, preventive health education and occupational driven screenings are conducted, and medical referrals are placed as needed.

 Electronic Periodic Health Assessment Process

1. An online assessment must be completed. Access the online ePHA by visiting https://eha.health.mil/EHA/MiddleZone/index.aspx?ALSErr=1

2.  Once complete, notify the Medical Readiness team by sending an email to usn.rota.navhosprotasp.list.medical-readiness-clinic@health.mil with the following information:

  • Dates and time you are available to receive a phone call
  • DOD ID number
NOTE: Do not send an email using the in-site email option. Your email must go to the address above. 

3.  Once screened by the Medical Readiness team, the member will receive a confirmation email and instructions to schedule an appointment with the provider and finalize your PHA. You may chose to schedule a virtual appointment (over the phone) or a face-to-face appointment.
