Complete a Deployment Health Assessment (DHA)

Completing a DHA (Pre-DHA/DD2795, PDHA/DD2796, or PDHRA/DD2900) is a two-part 

process: 

1) Fill out and submit the DHA form online via the EHA Web application at 

https://eha.health.mil/eha/. For PDHRA only: Reserve component and Active component 

Service members remotely-located without access to an MTF, must register on the QTC 

portal first using the following link https://smp.qtcm.com to complete the PDHRA/DD2900.

2) Once the DHA is submitted on-line, please schedule a person-to-person assessment with a 

medical provider at the nearest military treatment facility (MTF) to have your DHA medically 

certified. For PDHRA only: Reserve component and Active component Service members 

remotely-located without access to an MTF, can utilize the DoD Call Center at 1-833-782-7477 

for medical certification. 

For issue logging-in, contact the EHA Help desk: (757)953-0737 or email at usn.hamptonroads.navmcpubhlthcenpors.list.nmcphc-pha1@mail.mil.

For Sailors supported by other Services’ medical facility, the DHA can be completed in 

MEDPROS (Army) or ASIMS (Air Force).

Program Challenges 

• No automated pay and personnel integrated system for deployment 

health assessment accounting. 

• MRRS user error - incomplete deployment data; deployment events with 

unmet DHA criteria; duplicate deployment events; manual entries of 

DHA completion dates.

• Lack of maintenance of deployment information in MRRS – orders 

cancelled or modified; SM deployed again. 

• Lack of knowledge of staff that provide DHA support.

• Gun decking of DHA completion. 

• MRRS and NFAAS PDHA/PDHRA due and overdue notification being 

ignored by SM.

• Service member completing the wrong form and medical provider 

certifying the wrong form or all uncertified forms.

Impact if DHA Requirements were not Met

• Short Term

– Increased chance of health needs unmet

– Negative effect on PHA, IMR, PRT completion

– Command readiness & effectiveness degraded

• Long Term

– Consequences of unaddressed health needs 

– No evidence based association of exposure to
