DD Form 2807-2 is the Medical Prescreen of Medical History Report. The U.S. Department of Defense requires it during the military enlistment process. It screens applicants before they attend a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) for a full physical examination. Completing it in advance allows MEPS medical staff to review the applicant's history before the appointment date.
This form helps recruiters and MEPS medical staff identify health conditions that may affect an applicant's fitness for military service. Completing it before your MEPS date allows staff to review your history and request additional records in advance. This speeds up the full medical evaluation and reduces delays at the processing station.
The applicant fills out this form personally. A recruiter, parent, or guardian may assist with completion. Minor applicants should complete the form with parental guidance. The form must be submitted at least one day before the scheduled MEPS appointment. For complex medical histories involving multiple conditions, submitting it several days in advance helps gather the necessary supporting documentation on time.
Medical evaluations during military enlistment follow Army Regulation 40-501, Chapter 2. They also follow Department of Defense Directive 6130.3. These standards define which conditions are disqualifying for military service and which may qualify for a medical waiver through the reviewing authority at MEPS. An applicant who receives a disqualification notice may request a waiver through their branch of service recruiter.
After MEPS receives the completed form, medical staff review the applicant's health history. They may request additional records, physician notes, or specialist reports before the examination date. For conditions involving psychiatric history or attention disorders, a psychological assessment report may be required. For orthopedic conditions, a consultation from an orthopedic specialist may be needed before processing continues.
On the MEPS examination day, a physician reviews the submitted form alongside a full physical examination. Conditions disclosed on the form are evaluated against the applicable military standards. The examining physician recommends either medical qualification, disqualification, or referral for additional evaluation.
Other DD forms are used alongside DD Form 2807-2 during military processing. The DD Form 2807-1 (Report of Medical History) is completed at MEPS during the full physical examination. You may also need the DD Form 2870 for authorization to disclose medical information. The general Medical History Form is used in non-military medical settings for similar history collection purposes.
