USARJ Reserve Components :: Periodic Health Assessment

Periodic Health Assessment

Annual Periodic Health Assessments (PHA) are now required for all Soldiers, including those in the DIMA program. This program replaces the five year physical previously used. Each Soldier must complete their PHA every year in order to be in compliance with this program.
For Soldiers in CONUS, Guam and Saipan; in order to coordinate your PHA you must first log in to AKO and complete the on-line survey. Please review the PHA presentation available on this site for step-by-step instructions. Then, you must follow up with a phone call to make your appointment and receive your voucher(s) from the official contractor. You may be issued a PHA voucher as well as a dental exam voucher, as appropriate. These will give you an appointment, official duty status for that date, and cover the cost of the exam(s).
In order to facilitate this requirement, IMA Agencies are authorized to allow their IMA Soldiers no more than two Inactive Duty Training periods (i.e. one full day or two 4 hour periods) annually to receive their PHA. After completing their PHA, DIMA Soldiers assigned to Japan should submit supporting documentation and a DA Form 1380 annotating the performance of the PHA via their chain of command to the Reserve Components Office here at Camp Zama.
Soldiers residing OCONUS, other than Guam and Saipan, should contact HRC and their career manager in order to coordinate a PHA at a local Military Treatment Facility (MTF), if possible.
Any Soldier who for any reason completes their PHA at a Military Treatment Facility should subsequently contact the HRC Surgeon's Office, as they do not have access to the same automated system that MTF's currently employ. The Surgeon's Office is the clearing house for updating Reserve Soldiers' medical records.
