DOT Physicals

To get and maintain a commercial drivers license in Colorado, drivers must complete a DOT physical every two years. We have providers who are certified to perform DOT physical exams.

Non-DOT Physicals

A non-DOT physical is an examination that assesses an individual’s overall health. In the state of Colorado, non-DOT physical exams can only be legally requested after a job has been offered.

Important Forms

The Employer Authorization Form (electronic or printed) must be filled out prior to a visit in order for workers’ compensation patients to receive treatment.

Guidelines for a DOT-Physical

The Department of Transportation requires all Commercial Drivers License (CDL) holders to receive a periodic physical examination called a “Department of Transportation Medical Examination,” or DOT physical, to ensure the ability of the driver to safely operate a commercial vehicle. The US Department of Transportation has set the following guidelines:

CDL holders (Drivers) must have 20/40 correctable vision in each eye. Glasses or contact lenses are permitted.

Drivers cannot be a diabetic on needle-injected insulin; diabetes controlled through a diet or oral medication is permitted.

A driver’s blood pressure must be under 160/100. Prescription medication to control blood pressure is permitted.

Use of a Schedule 1 drug, amphetamine, narcotic or any other habit-forming drug is not permitted.

If a driver has a current diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency, collapse, congestive cardiac failure or any other cardiovascular disease, he/she will be required to provide the Medical Examiner with a stress test (performed within the last 12 months) along with a release from the driver’s physician stating that he/she can drive a commercial motor vehicle without restrictions.

The Department of Transportation also requires clearance for drivers that have been diagnosed with the following conditions: sleep apnea, recent back injury, recent major surgery, a current hernia, or have had recent workers’ compensation claims.

Urgent Care vs the ER

Urgent care medical clinics, like Advanced Urgent Care & Occupational Medicine, are an important healthcare option for communities; they bridge the gap between primary care providers and emergency departments.

If your injury is not life threatening, an urgent care is the most cost effective choice.
