90 days (45 days before and after the birth), unless there is a documented medical complication in either the mother or the newborn. If medical complications require you to be away from post longer than 90 days, MED may authorize up to an additional 90 days of per diem (180 total) based on documentation of the relevant medical condition. If you deliver after your expected due date, and thus have spent more than the anticipated 45 days on per diem before the birth, MED/Foreign Programs (MED/FP) will authorize additional pre-delivery days of per diem when authorizing your return to post at the end of the medevac. (16 FAM 317.1(c))
