Missoula Smokejumpers-
Here is the new process for obtaining your Smokejumper Physical for the 2017
season.
1)
Come by training, p/u a packet, sign the red
folder giving all the requested information and follow the instructions on the
packet.
Smokejumper Reimbursement Instructions
2) You are to personally pay (no
government purchase cards) for the physical at the time of the physical and
obtain a receipt as you will need it for the reimbursement process. Do
Not, claim the physical on your insurance. The charge code for the
reimbursement is: WFPR9517 override 1325 and the expense type and sub-type are:

3) The following hyperlink will take you
to the online form that you will fill out and attach documentation to (your
scanned receipt and a word document called “Documentation for Smokejumper
Physical”) in order to get reimbursed. This hyperlink can also be found
on the blog or the email sent to you. For it to work, you must be
logged onto a Gov. computer with your credentials. http://fsweb.asc.fs.fed.us/bfm/programs/financial-operations/payments/miscellaneous/
Once you click or actually it’s a CTRL+click, on the
hyperlink, scroll down to : Employee Reimbursements- Electronic FS-6500-0229
4)
Not able to log onto Gov.
computer? Open the below link and print out a paper copy. Fill out
the form, sign it, scan the signed document and your receipt. Email or
snail mail send the form and receipt to your supervisor. Your supervisor
will then sign the form and send it to ABQ for processing. This link is

6)
You are welcome
to use your own doctor or go to the traditional Occupational Health here in
Missoula (329-5746). If you go to your own doctor I have an example for
your Dr. to view to ensure the form is properly filled out. We’ve had
problems with this in the past as the form has to be filled out in a very exact
way.
