Reid Occupational Medicine DOT Process

We recommend scheduling your DOT exam three to four weeks before your current certification expires. This ensures you have time to gather any additional information from your provider, if necessary. On average, it takes practices 7-10 days to complete the required DOT information request forms for drivers. By planning ahead, you can avoid last-minute stress and potential delays in your certification.

After receiving your DOT certification:

• Send a copy of your physical and certification card to the state agency that issues your CDL. Please note: Reid Occupational Medicine won't provide this on your behalf.
• Provide a copy of your certification card to your employer. Employers will only receive a copy of your full physical if you give consent during your appointment. You'll only receive one copy of your physical unless you request more.
• Continue to partner with your provider to prioritize your health. Monitor and address any health concerns that might arise before your next certification visit.
• Follow any recommendations given by your Reid Occupational Medicine provider. Following recommendations will help ensure no disruptions to your certification and will help you maintain your overall health.

Determination pending means our provider needs additional information regarding your medical conditions to make a final decision on your certification.

To complete your certification process, please have your provider(s) fill out the DOT Medical Information Request Form and submit any additional documentation requested by Reid Occupational Medicine. Once submitted, you might be asked to schedule a follow-up appointment to finalize your certification.

To help avoid a "determination pending" status, we recommend referring to the items listed on the DOT Driver Preparation Form. Begin preparing at least three to four weeks before your exam to ensure all necessary information is gathered in advance.

Employers can contact Reid Occupational Medicine at (765) 983-3149 or [email protected]. Employees can use their own personal payment method or bill it to their employer with written documentation.

Employers can schedule on behalf of employees and employees can self-schedule by contacting Reid Occupational Medicine at (765) 983-3149.

Additionally, employers can call Reid Occupational Medicine to confirm upcoming appointments, that an employee had their appointment, and the details of the appointment like services provided and arrival/departure times.

Our staff will provide authorized services and treat emergent injuries. If no authorization is provided and a company account has been established, our staff will treat the patient by following the company account -- unless there's a note requiring authorization.

If an account hasn't been established, we'll attempt to call the employee's company for authorization of services to be performed. This could cause delays for the patient. If we're unsure what services the patient needs, there's no authorization present, and we can't reach the company, the patient will be referred to their employer.

To set up an account or authorize services, please call (765) 983-3149 or occhealthmain@reidhealth.org.
