Consultation on the military medical commission
In the context of changes in the Ukrainian legislation on military service, more and more conscripts and military personnel need a clear understanding of their own status, rights and procedures related to the military medical commission (MMC). That is why a consultation before passing the MMC is of particular importance.
The Military Medical Commission is a specialized body that evaluates the health of citizens in order to determine their suitability for military service. Its conclusion is decisive when accepting a person for service, dismissing him or her, or excluding him from military registration. The Military Medical Commission operates according to clear medical criteria approved by the Ministry of Defense, in particular, according to Order № 402 of August 14, 2008.
What are the fitness categories?
What are the fitness categories?Following changes in legislation, the suitability categories are as follows:
- Fit for military service — persons whose health does not limit them to serving in any unit.
- Fit for service in support units — this is a new category that has replaced the status of “limited fit”. It includes persons who are capable of serving in rear units, TCC and JV, training centers, etc.
- Unfit with exclusion from registration — persons with serious chronic or irreversible diseases.
- Temporarily unfit — citizens who have health problems that can be eliminated after treatment.
Why do you need a consultation with the MMC?
Passing the MMC is not just a medical examination, but a legally significant procedure. Consultation with a specialist will help:
- Assess your chances for the desired category: a medical expert will analyze the available medical documents, examination results, medical history and give a preliminary forecast regarding the possible decision of the MMC.
- Prepare the necessary documents: a specialist will tell you what certificates, conclusions or examinations you need to collect. And what to take with you directly to the MMC.
- Protect your rights: in the event of a controversial decision of the MMC, you will have a clear understanding of how to appeal this decision, where to go, what algorithm of actions, what legal norms to apply and what to pay attention to during the re-examination of the case.
- Avoid legal errors: many people do not realize what exactly they need to know before passing the MMC, sign unnecessary documents or do not read the MMC conclusion at all. Legal advice will help you understand your rights and act within the legal framework.
If you are going to undergo a MMC or are going to appeal the decision of the MMC, it is advisable for you to seek a consultation with the MMC with an analysis of medical documents.
How does the analysis of medical documents take place?
How does the analysis of medical documents take place?The consultation usually takes place in several stages:
- Primary collection of information – you provide copies of medical documents: medical reports, examination results, expert opinions.
- Medical and legal analysis – an expert evaluates whether your health condition meets the conditions of one of the fitness categories.
- Formation of a conclusion – the expert prepares recommendations, gives a preliminary forecast of the MMC result and explains possible scenarios for further actions.
- Support – if necessary, a specialist can provide you with advisory support during the MMC or help you prepare documents for an appeal.
Who especially needs to undergo a consultation?
- Formerly “limited fit” – since this category has been abolished, these individuals must be re-examined and may be declared fully fit. This could change the entire trajectory of their military service.

- Persons with chronic diseases – some diseases are not grounds for complete unsuitability, but require fresh evidence of the degree of functional impairment.
- Persons liable for military service or military personnel who are sent to the MMC, but they have certain complaints about their health.
- Persons liable for military service with controversial diagnoses – when the diagnosis seems to exist, but the functional limitations are minimal, the correct preparation of documents is of key importance.

Questions and answers to frequently asked questions on the topic
Deadlines for passing the military medical examination for those liable for military service
The duration of the medical examination, including laboratory and instrumental examinations, is limited to no more than 4 days. If, during the assessment of the health status, there is a need for additional diagnostic methods or referrals for in-depth examinations, the entire process of the VLK at the TCC and SP cannot last longer than 14 days. This is done in order to obtain the most accurate and complete data on the health status of the conscript.
What happens if you don't pass the military medical examination?
Ignoring a summons to a military medical examination or failing to pass it on time may result in administrative liability. The fine is from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias. In addition, in case of failure to appear, the CCC and the SP have the right to put the person on the wanted list and organize his forced delivery to pass the VLK.
How do I find out if I can get unfitness and exclusion from registration based on illness?
To determine this, all medical documents for the past 12 months are subject to a detailed analysis by a specialized medical expert. The review takes into account current legislation, official criteria for fitness for military service, and the specialist’s practical experience. After processing the information, a conclusion is formed on the possible degree of fitness, and recommendations for additional examinations are provided if necessary.
How to get a referral to the VLK for a military serviceman?
If you can personally come to the military unit:
- upon arrival, you must write a report to the unit commander indicating the completion of treatment and a request for referral to the VLK;
- receive an official referral from the head of the unit’s medical service, which is certified by the commander’s signature.
If your health condition does not allow you to come to the military unit:
- you should contact the head of the medical department of the medical institution where you are receiving treatment;
- if there are grounds (provided for in clause 6.4 of Chapter 6, Section II of the Regulations, approved by the order of the Ministry of Defense No. 402 of 08/14/2008), he prepares a submission to the head of the military medical institution with a description of your condition;
- the head of the military medical institution makes a decision on the advisability of referring you to a military medical commission.
During treatment or medical leave:
- you have the right to contact the head of the territorial recruitment and social support center (TCK and SP);
- in this case, a referral to the VLK is issued without the need to personally return to the military unit;
- if the treatment takes place in a region other than your military unit, you must temporarily register with the local TCK and SP, after which you will receive a referral.
How can a conscript get a referral to the military service?
It is possible to receive a paper referral directly from the CCC. However, now it is not necessary to personally go to the CCC to pick up a paper referral. It is enough to log in to the Reserve+ mobile application and submit an electronic request. After the CCC confirms the referral, a notification will appear in the application, and the document itself will be available in the “Referrals to the VLK” section. With this electronic referral, you can immediately go to the designated medical facility for an examination.
