Overseas Suitability Screening

The purpose of an Overseas Suitability Screening is to identify medical, dental, educational and potential duty-limiting conditions or requirements of both service and family members. Completing a screening will ensure that both the family and service member are qualified for overseas, operational duty, and remote duty assignments. For the best medical care or education, sometimes an overseas tour is not in the service or family member's best interest.

Prior to scheduling an OSS appointment please ensure the following:

Active Duty:

  • Periodic Health Assessment and Flight Physical (if applicable) are up to date
  • Dental classification 1 or 2 (dental classes 3 and 4 are non-deployable)
  • For females, pap smear needs to be current within one year, with normal results
  • Females 40 years or older require a mammogram

Dependents:

  • For children a well-child visit needs to be current within a year of transferring date
  • For females a pap smear needs to be current within two years of transferring date.
  • Females 40 years or older require a current mammogram
  • If dependents are seen by a civilian provider, patient needs to provide a copy of the last annual exam, current copy of immunizations, results of last pap smear, last mammogram results (only if dependent is 40 years or older) and notification stating there are no medical or mental health concerns that require mandatory Exceptional Family Member Program enrollment.
  • If dependents are currently enrolled in the EFMP program, enrollment must be current within the last 3 years.

In addition to the forms listed at right, if dependents are seen by a civilian provider, a medical clearance form and physical exam form must be completed by the civilian provider.

Please contact our staff by phone or in person using the office information provided at right, if additional information or forms are needed.
