Section 1: Driver information
· Personal Information: Please complete this section using your name as written on your driver's license, your
current address and phone number, your date of birth, age, gender, driver's license number and issuing state.
o CLP/CDL Applicant/Holder: Check "yes" if you are a commercial learner's permit (CLP) or com-
mercial driver's license (CDL) holder, or are applying for a CLP or CDL. CDL means a license
issued by a State or the District of Columbia which authorizes the individual to operate a class of a
com-mercial motor vehicle (CMV). A CMV that requires a CDL is one that: (1) has a gross
combina-tion weight rating or gross combination weight of 26,001 pounds or more inclusive of a
towed unit with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than
10,000 pounds; or (2) has a GVWR or GVW of 26,001 pounds or more; or (3) is designed to trans-
port 16 or more passengers, including the driver; or (4) is used to transport either hazardous materi-
als requiring hazardous materials placards on the vehicle or any quantity of a select agent or toxin.
o
Driver ID Verified By: The Medical Examiner/staff completes this item and notes the type of photo ID
used to verify the driver's identity such as, commercial driver's license, driver's license, or passport, etc.
o Question: Has your USDOT/FMCSA medical certificate ever been denied or issued for less than
two years? Please check the correct box “yes” or “no” and if you aren't sure check the “not sure” box.
· Driver Health History:
o Have you ever had surgery: Please check “yes” if you have ever had surgery and provide a written
explanation of the details (type of surgery, date of surgery, etc.)
o
Are you currently taking medications (prescription, over-the-counter, herbal remedies, diet
supplements): Please check “yes” if you are taking any diet supplements, herbal remedies, or
prescrip-tion or over the counter medications. In the box below the question, indicate the name of the
medication and the dosage.
o
#1-32: Please complete this section by checking the “yes” box to indicate that you have, or have ever had,
the health condition listed or the “No” box if you have not. Check the “not sure” box if you are unsure.
o
Other Health Conditions not described above: If you have, or have had, any other health condi-
tions not listed in the section above, check “Yes” and in the box provided and list those condition(s).
o
Any yes answers to questions #1-32 above: If you have answered “yes” to any of the questions in
the Driver Health History section above, please explain your answers further in the box below the
ques-tion. For example, if you answered “yes” to question #5 regarding heart disease, heart attack,

Medical Examiner:
Section 2: Examination Report
· Driver Health History Review: Review answers provided by the driver in the driver health history section
and discuss any “yes” and “not sure” responses. In addition, be sure to compare the medication list to the
health history responses ensuring that the medication list matches the medical conditions noted. Explore
with the driver any answers that seem unclear. Record any information that the driver omitted. As the Medi-
cal Examiner conducting the driver's physical examination you are required to complete the entire medical
examination even if you detect a medical condition that you consider disqualifying, such as deafness. Medi-
cal Examiners are expected to determine the driver's physical qualification for operating a commercial
vehicle safely. Thus, if you find a disqualifying condition for which a driver may receive a Federal Motor
Car-rier Safety Administration medical exemption, please record that on the driver's Medical Examiner's
Cer-tificate, Form MCSA-5876, as well as on the Medical Examination Report Form, MCSA-5875.
· Testing:
o Pulse rate and rhythm, height, and weight: record these as indicated on the form.
o
Blood Pressure: record the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) of the driver being examined. A
second reading is optional and should be recorded if found to be necessary.
o
Urinalysis: record the numerical readings for the specific gravity, protein, blood and sugar.
o
Vision: The current vision standard is provided on the form. When other than the Snellen chart is used,
give test results in Snellen-comparable values. When recording distance vision, use 20 feet as normal.
Record the vision acuity results and indicate if the driver can recognize and distinguish among traffic
control signals and devices showing red, green, and amber colors; has monocular vision; has been
referred to an ophthalmologist or optometrist; and if documentation has been received from an
ophthalmologist or optometrist.
o
Hearing: The current hearing standard is provided on the form. Hearing can be tested using either a
whisper test or audiometric test. Record the test results in the corresponding section for the test used.
· Physical Examination: Check the body systems for abnormalities and indicate normal or abnormal for
each body system listed. Discuss any abnormal answers in detail in the space provided and indicate whether
it would affect the driver's ability to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle.
In this next section, you will be completing either the Federal or State determination, not both.
· Medical Examiner Determination (Federal): Use this section for examinations performed in accordance
with the FMCSRs (49 CFR 391.41-391.49
). Complete the medical examiner determination section
completely. When determining a driver's physical qualification, please note that English language proficiency
(49 CFR part 391.11: General qualifications of drivers) is not factored into that determination.
o Does not meet standards: Select this option when a driver is determined to be not qualified and pro-
vide an explanation of why the driver does not meet the standards in 49 CFR 391.41.

o Meets standards, but periodic monitoring is required: Select this option when a driver is deter-
mined to be qualified but needs periodic monitoring and provide an explanation of why periodic
moni-toring is required. Select the corresponding time frame that the driver is qualified and if select-
ing other, specify the time frame.
· Determination that driver meets standards: Select all categories that apply to the driver's
certification (e.g., wearing corrective lenses, accompanied by a waiver/exemption, driving
within an exempt intracity zone, etc.).
o Determination pending: Select this option when more information is needed to make a qualification
decision and specify a date, on or before the 45 day expiration date, for the driver to return to the medi-
cal exam office for follow-up. This will allow for a delay of the qualification decision for as many as
45 days. If the disposition of the pending examination is not updated via the National Registry on or
before the 45 day expiration date, FMCSA will notify the examining medical examiner and the driver
in writing that the examination is no longer valid and that the driver is required to be re-examined.
· MER amended: A Medical Examination Report Form (MER), MCSA-5875, may only be amended
while in determination pending status for situations where new information (e.g., test results, etc.) has
been received or there has been a change in the driver's medical status since the initial examination, but
prior to a final qualification determination. Select this option when a Medical Examination Report Form,
MCSA-5875, is being amended; provide the reason for the amendment, sign and date. In addition, initial
and date any changes made on the Medical Examination Report Form, MCSA-5875. A Medical
Examina-tion Report Form, MCSA-5875, cannot be amended after an examination has been in
determina-tion pending status for more than 45 days or after a final qualification determination has been
made. The driver is required to obtain a new physical examination and a new Medical Examination
Report Form, MCSA-5875, should be completed.

option when a driver is determined to be not qualified and provide an explanation of why the driver
does not meet the standards in 49 CFR 391.41 with any applicable State variances.
o
Meets standards in 49 CFR 391.41 with any applicable State variances: Select this option when
a driver is determined to be qualified and will be issued a 2-year Medical Examiner's Certificate.
o
Meets standards, but periodic monitoring is required: Select this option when a driver is deter-
mined to be qualified but needs periodic monitoring and provide an explanation of why periodic
moni-toring is required. Select the corresponding time frame that the driver is qualified and if select-
ing other, specify the time frame.
· Determination that driver meets standards: Select all categories that apply to the driver's
certification (e.g., wearing corrective lenses, accompanied by a waiver/exemption, etc.).
