What Are DOT Examinations?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires that all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers undergo a DOT (Department of Transportation) physical from a qualified medical examiner at least once every two years. At WellHealth Medical Associates, our licensed medical providers proudly provide DOT examinations to keep commercial drivers healthy and on the road for their work. If you're in need of a DOT physical and live in the Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI areas, schedule your next exam at our practice today.
How Do DOT Examinations Work?
Your DOT exam at WellHealth Medical Associates will begin with a review of your medical history and any current medications you might be taking. We'll then perform several tests to measure your blood pressure, heart health, vision, hearing, and more. If you pass your examination, we will issue a certificate that is good for 24 months. Please note that drivers with certain chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension) may require more frequent DOT physicals to be allowed to drive commercially.
What Are the Benefits of DOT Examinations?
The purpose of DOT examinations is to ensure that the drivers operating large commercial vehicles are in good health and present minimal risk to others on the road. A few of the benefits of regular DOT physicals at WellHealth Medical Associates include:
- Provides continued employment opportunities
- Gives our providers an opportunity to identify and address health concerns
- Ongoing management of chronic conditions
- Ensures you are compliant with all federal CMV standards
