2/26/2010 - Robins Air Force Base, Ga. -- Medical and dental requirements comprise fifty percent of the readiness requirements tracked by Headquarters Readiness Management Group. Each year, members need a physical health assessment that includes a questionnaire found through the Air Force Portal. The questionnaire must be completed prior to the member's PHA appointment. Additional requirements include Standard Form 600, Chronological Record of Care; a dental examination (DD Form 2813); and administration of immunizations. Members are expected to accomplish medical exams at their assigned unit's Military Treatment Facility (MTF) during annual tour or paid or non-paid inactive duty tours. It is the member's responsibility to schedule exams and most facilities require 30 days' notice.
If members are unsure of the date of last exam, that information can be obtained from ARCNET, the unit MTF or the base Individual Mobilization Augmentee Administrator (BIMAA). Assessments for non-rated members are valid for 12 months; rated officers must accomplish their flight physicals annually during their birth month.
When checking ARCNET for medical currency remember it can take 2-4 weeks to show updated once the information is entered in the Preventive Health Assessment/Individual Medical Readiness (PIMR).
Once each exam is completed, the member's MTF must enter the information into both the Preventive Health Assessment and Individual Medical Readiness (PIMR) database, and Dental Data System Web (DDSW). When exams are accomplished by another service's MTF they must be vetted through an Air Force provider to be valid. Once validated, forms for IMAs must be submitted to the member's MTF. Participating Inactive Ready Reservists (PIRR) must forward validated forms by mail to RMG/SG, where their medical records are maintained. The mailing address is: RMG/SG, 233 N. Houston, Ste. 131A, Warner Robins, Ga. 31093.
Dental exams can be accomplished by a MTF or a member's private dentist. The dentist is required to fill out an Air Force Form 2813 and the form must be updated in the DDSW system by the member's assigned MTF. All PIRRs must send the Form 2813 to RMG/SG by mail, using the address above.
For additional information, contact the BIMAA.
