COVID-19 Information
In keeping with the guidance set forth in the Army-Wide Preparedness and Response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Outbreak, the following EFMP process changes are in effect:
- Processing and completion of paper work for EFMP enrollments, updates, and disenrollments are being conducted in-person and telephonically.
- Overseas Screenings are being conducted in-person and virtually. Appointments for OCONUS screenings may be conducted virtually at the discretion of the provider, as a precautionary measure to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Virtual OCONUS Screening
Virtual OCONUS screenings are conducted by an audio-visual platform or audio-only platform, instead of face-to-face.
