Will my daughter get denied EFMP since her doctors are civilians? Has anyone been approved by duty station and denied by regional?

My husband is going back active duty. It’s been about 4 years since he’s been active. Our daughter was born 4 years ago with special needs. She got approved at FT Carson for EFMP. But apparently we are waiting on regional and hrc to approve the rest. She’s had the same doctors here since birth and it’s within the 100 mile radius. Will she get denied EFMP since her doctors are civilians? Any one been approved by duty station and denied by regional?

If your daughter is special needs, then she will be enrolled in EFMP. The referral needs to be processed through Army docs, but getting a family member enrolled in EFMP is not difficult. The difficult part comes in finding an assignment that meets your EFMP needs. The Ay frequently partners with local hospitals to provide specialty treatment. For instance, at Fort Bragg people are reffered to UNC and NC State medical schools.
Chances are what you're waiting on is EFMP approval for your duty station, meaning the duty station they are looking at placing your husband needs to have the facilities to care for your daughter. EFMP can take up to a month at times.

Shawna Moreno just to pile on, EFMP is not really to validate the condition of the family member (after they are enrolled), its to ensure that the family is considered during the assignment process. Gaining Station needs to confirm they have those services at the MTF or in the regional network. SFC (Join to see) is spot on. Where it usually gets tough is overseas assignments, particularly Korea.

SFC Boyd said it correctly. One additional factor to keep in mind is future duty stations. While the military will try to station your husband where EFMP can be cared for there may be a time when he has to go based on the needs of the Army and you may not be able to join him.
