DD Form 2792, the Family Member Medical Summary, documents a military family member's medical needs for the Exceptional Family Member Program. The services use it to enroll family members with special medical needs in EFMP and to make sure future duty assignments are to locations where the needed care is actually available.
The form is published as a dynamic XFA PDF, a format that browsers and most online PDF editors cannot display. Download the official file from this page, then open and complete it in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer. Part of the form is completed by the family, and the clinical sections must be completed and signed by the treating medical provider.
What DD Form 2792 is used for
EFMP enrollment is mandatory across the services when a family member has a qualifying medical or educational need. The medical summary supports that process in several ways:
- Initial EFMP enrollment when a medical condition is identified
- Periodic updates so the record reflects current diagnoses and care
- Assignment coordination, so the sponsor is not sent where required care is unavailable
- Documenting the specialists, therapies, medications, and equipment the family member needs
Who completes the form
The sponsor and family member complete the demographic and consent sections, and the family member's physician or other qualified provider completes the medical sections describing diagnoses, functional needs, and required services. Some conditions call for an addendum completed by a specialist, such as the behavioral health addendum.
Because clinical accuracy drives assignment decisions, the provider's portion should reflect current treatment, not just history. Universal PDF is an independent document tool and is not affiliated with the Department of Defense or the military health system.
How to complete DD Form 2792
Since this is an XFA dynamic PDF, it must be opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a desktop computer rather than in a browser tab:
- Download the official PDF from this page and save it to your computer
- Open the saved file in Adobe Acrobat Reader; a browser preview shows only a placeholder page
- Complete the family and sponsor sections, including the consent for release of the medical information
- Bring the form to the treating provider to complete and sign the medical sections and any required addenda
- Review the finished form for completeness before turning it in
Where the form goes
The completed summary goes to the EFMP office that serves your installation, usually through the military treatment facility's EFMP or special needs coordinator. Each branch runs its own EFMP intake, so your MTF or the sponsor's personnel office can confirm the exact drop-off point.
EFMP staff review the form, complete the enrollment or update, and the coded information then feeds into the assignment process. Keep a copy for your records, since updates are typically required every few years or when the condition changes.
Frequently asked questions
It is an XFA dynamic PDF, which browsers and many PDF viewers cannot render, so they display a placeholder asking you to wait. The file is not broken. Save it to your computer and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader to see and fill in the actual form.
The sponsor or family member signs the demographic and consent sections, and the treating physician or qualified provider signs the medical sections. Specialist addenda are signed by the specialist who completes them.
No. All branches require enrollment when a family member has a qualifying medical or educational need. Enrollment itself does not control a career; it ensures assignments are made to locations where the required care exists.
Enrollment information is updated periodically and whenever the family member's condition or care needs change significantly. Your EFMP office will tell you the update cycle your branch uses.
Yes. Educational needs are documented separately from the medical summary; the EFMP office will identify the additional paperwork your branch requires when a child has special educational needs.
