 I know it stands for Exceptional Family Member Plan but what does it actually do to help that family member? my daughter is devolpementally delayed she went to the developmental pedi yesterday and i was told she is hyper kenesis due to delay but due to me having adhd she is at a higher risk of having adhd the dr told me to go get her enrolled in efmp immeadently so my question is what does efmp do exactly? well it help my dh have a better chance to get off work for appts or what i dont know much about it i was hopeing you or someone here would im just curious im enrolling her as soon as hubby gets to come home for lunch then im going to take him back to work and go enroll her and i know my younger dd will have to be enrolled as well  but we are still finding out what is wrong with dd 2 thanks for any info ladies

the making appointments all depends on the command..even with EFMP..my BIL still gets sent TDY (my nephew has LCH and has been on and off chemo the last 3 years)  his command has been pretty good about giving him time off for dr.'s ... for HIM EFMP keeps him near the hospital that my nephew is being seen at and will keep him stationed near a major children's hospital at ALL times...

OK my youngest son is epileptic. so we have been efmp for almost 4 yrs now what it does is help you get the "special " services your daughter will be it to see a doctor off base that will help her and it helps with tricare they tend to not have any problems getting stuff done on time. There will be a pretty big packet of paperwork it is not too bad and there is some forms for the dr to fill out.  with EFMP it just means mainly that when your husband comes on orders to pcs or anything where the "Whole" family has to move they look to make sure that the services you need are local if not they will not alow you to pcs and will change the orders or revoke them completely. as for your husband getting time off for appointments that is up to his command not efmp and it willnot effect deployment unless it is life or death. if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.
