What is a Periodic Health Assessment and how often should it be updated to maintain IMR?

Periodic Health Assessment is a comprehensive check of a service member’s health to determine overall medical readiness. It looks at current health status, medical history, and any conditions that could affect the ability to perform duties or deploy. The goal is to keep the Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) up to date, confirming that the person remains medically fit for duty. Cadence is typically annual, with updates required sooner if policy directs or if a health change occurs that could impact readiness. This broader purpose distinguishes it from narrower activities like a dental exam, a monthly mental health screen, or a vaccine status review, which address specific areas rather than the overall medical readiness status.
