MASSDOT, 7D Van, School Bus Certificate

Effective May 21, 2014, DOT physical examinations may only be performed by a federally certified medical examiner. Three of our providers have taken the necessary training and have become certified. We are trying to keep the process as simple and easy for you as we can. DOT PHYSICALS PERFORMED ONLY AT NORTHAMPTON OFFICE.

When you Call to Schedule your DOT Physical

Please tell the receptionist, at that time, that you will need a DOT physical. Since not all of our providers are certified examiners, we want to make sure we schedule you for the proper date and time.

DOT Physical Cost

Upfront payment of $100. One additional follow up visit will be covered in the upfront payment of $100. Any additional visits after the follow up will require an upfront payment of $50.

Before Your Visit

Obtain the NEW DOT physical forms (MCSA-5875) and health questionnaire from any Registry of Motor Vehicles office or print it from the internet using the following link (please do not print the old forms 649-F):
fmcsa.dot.gov

When you Come for your Visit

The receptionist will photocopy your driver’s license and have you fill out some paperwork.
The provider will need to enter information from your driver’s license into the Department of Transportation website after your exam.

During your Visit

The medical assistant/scribe will check your height, weight, blood pressure and vital signs.
You will be asked for a urine sample for a urinalysis.
Your vision for distance, horizontal field and color will be tested. Please bring your glasses to the visit.
Your hearing will also be checked.
Our providers are aware of the specific health standards required by the DOT and will be addressing those issues with you.

After your Visit

It is possible, if health standards are not met the provider will need further testing or information from a specialist before a decision on your certification can be made, in which case the testing will be ordered or the referral will be done.
