Overseas and Suitability Screening

Step-by-Step Instructions for Virtual Screening

 
Due to the recent COVID19 changes, we have taken measures to protect our beneficiaries while continuing to provide the same quality services needed to complete your PCS travel screening virtually. 
 

*It is the member’s responsibility to initiate their suitability screening process in a timely manner.


You can download & print Active Duty, Dependent and EFMP packets from this page. Please refer to the respective checklist within the packets to complete your screening. After completion of all documents, you will submit your documents via the below DoD SAFE link.
Please refer to the below DoD SAFE Power Point for guidance on how to submit your documents via DoD SAFE.

Once we receive your documents through DoD SAFE, expect a phone call from our OSS staff within 3-7 business days. During this call, the Corpsman will review your packet to ensure you have all of the correct documents. Once verified that your packet submission is correct, the Corpsman will book an appointment for you to be screened by a Provider (depending on availability) over the phone. If your documents are incomplete and/or are missing requirements, you will be informed of what is incomplete and will need to re-submit your packet.

If you are suitable for transfer, you may pick up your paperwork in person or have it sent to you via DoD SAFE. When you receive your packet, turn it into your medical records department except for the 1300/16, which goes to your command admin department. If you prefer to have it sent through DoD SAFE, please let the OSS Call Center know your intention.
