CDL medical exams

Complete your health history at the office

I provide Form MCSA-5875 at your visit and review your answers with you. Completing the history section ahead of time is helpful and saves time, but is optional.

Returning drivers: bring any requested doctor’s letters or forms, completed, signed, and dated. MedXPress is only needed if you are also having an FAA exam.

Bring identification and records

• Your driver’s license and current medical certificate, if you have one.
• Current glasses or contact lenses and a complete medication list.
• Relevant treating-physician records, including documentation for conditions that may need additional review.
• Any applicable medical forms or supporting documentation requested by the office.

Discuss medical conditions before your visit

Message Dr. Brown at the question form with your cell phone number about significant medical history, prescription medications, or questions about documentation before your appointment. Conditions such as hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiac disease may require additional information.

Medical-condition review may carry an additional fee. The examination and available documentation determine the certification outcome.

Forms for specific medical conditions

These forms apply only to certain drivers. Message Dr. Brown at the question form with your cell phone number if you’re unsure which documentation you need.

• Diabetes without insulin: Form MCSA-5872 is an optional assessment tool, used when additional information is needed.
• Insulin-treated diabetes: have your treating clinician complete Form MCSA-5870. Provide it to the medical examiner within 45 days of completion.
• Alternative vision standard: have your ophthalmologist or optometrist complete Form MCSA-5871. The medical exam must begin within 45 days after it is signed.

Combining a CDL and FAA exam

The CDL add-on is available when performed at the same appointment as an FAA exam. See the fee schedule below for the standalone and add-on charges.

Select the primary visit in the planner and tell the office you also need a CDL exam so the booking and paperwork can be confirmed.
