During Your Visit

What does a DOT physical consist of?

  • General appearance
  • Extremities
  • Lungs, chest, and heart
  • Eyes, ears, mouth, and throat
  • Nervous system, including back and spine

Does a DOT physical include a drug test​?

No, A DOT physical does not include a drug test but does use a urine drip to test kidney function and health conditions.

How long will a DOT physical test take?

A DOT physical typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes at Midlands Family Urgent Care, but can take more or less time depending on your medical history and whether additional tests or more documentation is required. If you have a pre-existing condition or complex medical history, plan to spend a bit more time at our clinic.

After Your Visit

How long does it take to get DOT physical results?

The results of a DOT physical are often provided on the same day as the exam. Our medical examiner completes the physical for a CDL license, evaluating your health and determining if you meet the necessary DOT physical requirements to obtain your DOT medical certification. If you pass, you’ll usually receive your DOT medical card right away. If more testing is required, it might take additional time to finalize the results, but you’ll still receive your CDL medical card within a few days.

How do I get my DOT medical card?

To get a DOT medical card, you must first schedule an appointment with our FMCSA-certified medical examiners at a Midlands Family Urgent Care near you. After completing the DOT physical exam, our medical staff will report your results to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). If you’ve passed, you’ll receive a copy of your certificate from the medical examiner.

What happens if my DOT medical card expires?

If your DOT medical card expires, you won’t be able to legally drive a CMV. To renew your DOT medical card, you’ll need to schedule another DOT physical exam and get a copy of your updated certificate once you pass. Your medical card is typically valid for one or two years, depending on your health.
