Our Proven 3-Phase Blueprint to Medical Qualification

The best way to handle a DoDMERB problem is to prevent it from ever happening. We start before the first form is ever filled out, building a powerful foundation for your child’s medical clearance by identifying and addressing any potential red flags ahead of time.

• Strategic Medical History Review: We analyze your child’s records against the strict standards of DoDI 6130.03—the official rulebook DoDMERB uses.
• Mastery of the MHQ: We provide expert guidance on the 112-question Medical History Questionnaire to ensure it's answered honestly and accurately, avoiding accidental 'yes' answers that can trigger an immediate disqualification.
• Exam Preparation: We prepare your child for the physical and optometry exams, including critical instructions that prevent common errors, like how long contact lenses must be removed beforehand.

Once the exams are complete, you enter a period of waiting and responding. This is where many families lose control of the process. We ensure you remain in command, responding to DoDMERB’s requests with speed and precision.

• Proactive Case Tracking: We monitor your child's case through the DoDMETS portal to ensure exam results are submitted correctly and your file doesn’t get lost in the bureaucracy.
• Expertly Handle a 'Remedial': If DoDMERB requests more information (a 'remedial'), we help you submit the exact documentation they need.
• Leverage Private Physicians: We guide you on using your own specialists for remedials. This puts you in control, allowing you to get a second opinion if the first is unfavorable—a crucial strategic advantage.

A disqualification (DQ) feels like an ending, but it's often the beginning of the waiver process. We specialize in turning a DQ into a successful waiver by building a compelling, evidence-based case for the specific service branch authority.

• Build a "Waiver-Ready" Packet: We help you gather and organize every piece of medical evidence into a professional submission that makes it easy for the waiver authority to say "yes".
• Tailor to the Waiver Authority: Each branch has its own waiver board (e.g., Army ROTC, Naval Academy, Air Force). We help you understand their specific criteria and what they need to see for an approval.
• Appeal a Denial: If a waiver is denied, we guide you through the formal appeals process, helping you submit new evidence to give your child another opportunity for their dream.
