In order to receive a valid CDL medical card, commercial drivers are required to use a certified medical examiner (CME) for DOT physicals. Pioneer Medical Center has an occupational health specialist certified on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, so you can get in to see us and get back on the road.
You must pass all of the federal DOT physical requirements before a medical card can be provided. Avoid delays or additional expense by coming prepared. Here's a checklist to help you prepare for your DOT physical.
If you would like to download a copy of the Medical Examiners Report, you can select it here: Medical Examiners Report.
If you are uncertain if you will qualify for a DOT card, you may want to visit your primary provider or specialist before your recertification.
You can find your Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form here.
Commercial drivers must maintain a valid Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) on their Montana driving record. If you don’t maintain a current MEC with the Motor Vehicle Division, your commercial driver license will be downgraded to a noncommercial license.
You must provide a copy of your new MEC to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division prior to the expiration of your current certificate. Do not count on your medical provider or employer to submit your MEC. Please mail, email, or fax a legible copy of your MEC to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division.
