New Department of Transportation regulations regarding DOT physicals went into effect May 21st, 2014. These new regulations required Doctors Express Urgent Care doctors to become registered in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. In order to administer these DOT regulated physicals it was mandatory that our doctors successfully complete an extensive training course as well as a state issued examination. Now, all medical certificates issued to DOT drivers must come from certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry.
The regulations now include a more thorough examination as well as additional testing for many abnormal results. The exam could include a spirometry examination for a tobacco smoker or an evaluation by an endocrinologist for an insulin-dependent diabetic. Additional ancillary services such as a spirometry, chest x-ray, glucose testing, audiometry etc. will be an additional charge to the DOT physical.
Doctors Express Urgent Care would like to express our appreciation for your continued business and choice of Doctors Express Urgent Care as your occupational health and workers’ compensation service provider. We greatly value your business.
