eHA Navy: Your Official Electronic Health Assessment Portal
Quick Summary
- Annual health assessment required
- Online self-assessment is Part 1
- CAC or DoD ID login
- Consolidated eHA platform
- Follow-up with medical personnel
The Electronic Health Assessment (eHA) serves as a critical online platform for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard service members to fulfill their annual medical readiness requirements. This digital portal streamlines the process of completing the Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) and Deployment Health Assessments (DHA), which are essential for maintaining individual medical readiness (IMR). The eHA system was established in August 2021, consolidating previous legacy ePHA and eDHA websites into a single, more accessible platform as of October 2022. Designed to offer greater flexibility, the eHA allows service members to initiate their self-assessment from various devices, including personal computers and smartphones. This modernization effort aims to reduce the time spent away from work centers for medical appointments, ensuring that vital health evaluations are completed efficiently while adhering to Department of Defense (DoD) standards for physical and mental health reviews. Understanding how to effectively use this online account management system is key for all eligible personnel.

Capabilities Within the Digital Health Assessment Portal
- Online Self-Assessment Completion: Service members can complete the initial portion of their Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) or Deployment Health Assessment (DHA) online, often saving previous answers for future assessments.
- Mobile Device Accessibility: The eHA platform features a mobile-friendly design, allowing access and completion of assessments from smartphones and tablets without a special application.
- Tracking Medical Readiness: The system helps track and maintain user assessments, providing a clear overview of medical readiness status and identifying overdue components.
- Individual Medical Record (IMR) Integration: The eHA is a key component of Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) requirements, which can be reviewed on platforms like Bupers Online (BOL) or Marine Online (MOL).
- Four-Part Assessment Process: The PHA typically involves a self-reported health assessment, a record review, a mental health review, and a face-to-face consultation with a healthcare provider.
Overcoming Access Challenges for Your Health Account
⚠️ Cannot access the eHA website or login page
Cause: Browser compatibility issues or network restrictions.
Solution: Ensure you are using a compatible browser like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 9/11, although other browsers may have limited functionality. If on a government computer, this is the preferred method for smoother authentication.
⚠️ Forgot Password or Username
Cause: User cannot recall their login credentials.
Solution: If you forget your password, follow the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen. Your username is typically your 10-digit DoD ID number.
⚠️ CAC login issues or need temporary access
Cause: CAC reader problems, certificate selection, or no CAC access.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. Ensure your CAC is correctly inserted and select the PIV authentication certificate. If you need temporary access without a CAC for a user account, you can request a CAC Exemption which typically lasts for 72 hours and can be requested once per month.
⚠️ My CAC opens another service member's information
Cause: Incorrect association or system error.
Solution: Immediately contact the eHA Help Desk. Do not attempt to register another service member's CAC to your account.
Ensuring the Confidentiality of Your Health Data
