Before your exam
Your employer has scheduled you for an occupational health exam at MedCare. Read this page once, fill out the packet, and bring it with you. That is all you need to do.
Download and fill out your packet
Fifteen pages, but you only type your name, date of birth and employer once — it carries through the rest. Set aside about twenty minutes.
Don’t email the completed packet to us. It holds your medical information. Bring the printed pages with you. If you can’t print, come fifteen minutes early and we’ll give you a copy at the clinic.

Bring these with you
Photo ID
A government-issued photo ID is required. Bring your CDL as well if you have one. Without ID we can’t complete drug testing or a DOT exam.
Your medications
A written list with doses, or the bottles themselves. Include anything prescribed recently, and bring glasses, contacts or hearing aids if you use them.
Doctor’s letters
If you’re treated for diabetes, a heart condition, seizures, sleep apnea, or blood pressure, bring a letter or completed form from that provider. Missing paperwork is the most common reason a clearance gets delayed.
Your completed packet
All fifteen pages, including any you left blank. Don’t leave pages behind — an incomplete packet means a second trip.
What happens at your visit
Plan for about an hour, depending on which tests your role requires.
Check in
We take your packet, verify your ID, and confirm which exam your employer has authorized. Come fifteen minutes early if you need to finish paperwork.
Testing
Depending on your role: physical examination, vision and hearing, breathing test, respirator fit test, and specimen collection for lab work or drug screening.
Results
Your work-status determination usually goes to your employer the same day. Anything that depends on an outside laboratory follows that lab’s turnaround.
What your employer does and doesn’t see
Your employer receives a work-status determination — cleared, cleared with restrictions, or not cleared — along with the compliance records the regulations require. Your medical details, history, and the answers on your questionnaires stay in your confidential medical record at the clinic.
Answer the questionnaires honestly. They exist to keep you safe on the job, and what you write is protected.
- Employer sees: cleared, restricted, or not cleared
- Employer sees: required compliance documentation
- Employer does not see: your medical history
- Employer does not see: your questionnaire answers
- Records released otherwise only with your written authorization
