How often are suitability factors monitored?

• A. annually
• B. every six months
• C. every time the member gets seen or comes in
• D. only during fitness assessments

Answer: (C)

Suitability factors are reviewed at every encounter, not on a fixed schedule. Each time the member comes in—whether for a routine check, an illness, an injury, or any other issue—the provider reassesses factors that could affect fitness for duty. This keeps readiness and safety up to date by catching any new conditions, medications, or functional changes promptly. Fixed intervals like annually or every six months can miss changes that arise between visits, and relying only on fitness assessments would overlook issues discovered during ordinary care. So, monitoring at every time the member is seen best supports ongoing suitability.
