B.  Coast Guard Medical Manual, COMDTINST M6000.1(series)
1.  In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Acts
(NDAAs) 1998 and 2005, the military services are required to perform
deployment health assessments for deploying members.  Refs (A) and
(B) implement policies and prescribe procedures for deployment health
activities, including deployment health assessments.
2.  The Coast Guard Business Intelligence (CGBI) system now includes
Deployment Health Assessment metrics based on Coast Guard members
participation in an expeditionary deployment.  These metrics will
display red, amber, or green depending upon whether a member is
delinquent, pending, or up-to-date (respectively) with their
Post-Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA), Form DD-2796 or
Post-Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA), Form DD-2900.
3.  Currently, 75 percent of Coast Guard members are delinquent with
their PDHA, PDHRA, or both.  Coast Guard members who have been on
expeditionary deployments should review their personal page on CGBI
to determine if they are delinquent.  Completion of required
assessments is mandatory.
4.  Coast Guard commands should review the unit level reports in CGBI
to ensure Coast Guard members who have been on expeditionary
deployments complete the mandatory deployment health assessments.
5.  Ref (A) describes the process for Coast Guard members to complete
the deployment health assessments via the electronic deployment
health assessment https://164.167.138.44/edha.  The Coast Guard
passphrase is Coastie1234(dollar sign).
6.  Active duty Coast Guard members should report to their supporting
HSWL clinic medical department for review of their completed
deployment health assessment.  (For active duty members enrolled in
TRICARE Prime Remote, notification to the supporting HSWL clinic
physical exam department of completion of assessment will result in
telephonic review by the cognizant medical representative).  Selected
reserve members can call Logistics Health, Inc. at 1-888-PDHRA-99 to
have their delinquent Deployment Health Assessments reviewed by
contracted medical providers via telephone.
