Keep Your Medical Certification on Schedule

Your medical certificate affects your ability to work behind the wheel. Summit Health provides DOT physicals for drivers from Richland Hills at our nearby Haltom City clinic. Whether this is your first examination or a renewal, come prepared with your health history, medications, corrective devices, and any records related to an ongoing condition.

Which Appointment Best Describes You?

My Certificate Is Expiring

Schedule before the expiration date whenever possible. An early appointment leaves time to obtain missing records or complete follow-up testing if requested.Bring your current medical certificate and any documentation submitted during your previous examination.

This Is My First DOT Physical

Expect to complete a detailed health history and undergo driver-focused vision, hearing, vital-sign, and physical assessments.Ask your employer, driving school, or licensing agency whether you need to bring additional paperwork.

My Health Has Recently Changed

A new diagnosis, surgery, injury, medication, or period away from driving may require supporting information. Contact us before your appointment if you are unsure what documentation to request from your treating clinician.

What the Examiner Reviews

The examination focuses on health factors that could affect the safe operation of a commercial motor vehicle. Your visit generally includes:

A review of your medical history and current treatment

Blood pressure and pulse measurements

Vision testing, with correction when applicable

A hearing assessment

Routine urinalysis for certain medical indicators

An evaluation of relevant physical and neurological function

Pack for Your Appointment

Every Driver Should Bring

Government-issued photo identification

A complete list of medications and doses

Your current medical certificate when renewing

Employer or training-program forms, if supplied

Contact details for the clinicians treating you

Don’t Leave Important Records at Home

Certain conditions often require more documentation than a medication list alone.

Treated Sleep Apnea

Bring available PAP usage information and records showing how your condition is being managed.

Diabetes

Prepare recent information about your treatment and glucose control. Drivers treated with insulin may be subject to additional documentation requirements.

Cardiovascular History

Depending on your diagnosis, the examiner may need recent cardiac testing or information from your treating specialist.

Neurological History

Prior seizures, unexplained loss of consciousness, stroke, or another neurological condition may require medical records and additional review.

Recent Surgery or Injury

Documentation should explain your recovery, current restrictions, and ability to perform driving-related tasks safely.Call ahead if you have a complex medical history. Knowing what to bring can reduce avoidable delays.

The Certification Decision

Once the required examination is complete, the medical examiner considers your results
together with your health history and supporting records. One of several outcomes may follow:

Certificate Issued

You meet the applicable medical requirements, and a certificate is issued for the appropriate period.

Shorter Monitoring Period

You qualify, but a health condition requires reevaluation sooner than the maximum certification interval.

More Information Needed

The examiner needs records, clarification, or testing before making a final decision.

Standards Not Currently Met

The available findings indicate that applicable medical requirements are not met at that time.Every outcome is individualized. Another driver’s certificate length or examination result does not predict yours.

Avoid Last-Minute Problems

Use these reminders as your appointment approaches:

Verify the expiration date on your current certificate.

Request specialist records early.

Take prescribed medications normally unless your clinician directs otherwise.

Bring the corrective lenses or hearing devices used while driving.

Be ready to provide a urine sample.

Allow enough time for paperwork and the complete examination.

Answer health-history questions fully and accurately.

After your visit, confirm whether you must submit medical certification
information to your employer or the appropriate state agency.

Important: Urinalysis Is Not Drug Testing

The routine urine screening included in a DOT physical looks for medical indicators that may warrant further evaluation. It is not automatically a DOT-regulated drug test. If an employer has requested drug or alcohol testing, confirm that it has been ordered separately.
