Questions drivers ask
Is the urinalysis a drug test?
No. The DOT physical urinalysis checks protein, blood, sugar, and specific gravity as part of the medical exam. It is not a drug screen.
How much does it cost?
Our launch special is $95 (standard price $119). The flat fee includes the full physical exam and in-office urinalysis.
Do you take insurance?
DOT physicals are a flat cash-pay fee. Many employers reimburse drivers; we'll give you a receipt.
How long is a medical card good for?
Up to 24 months. The examiner may issue a shorter certification (for example 1 year, 6 months, or 3 months) if a condition such as blood pressure needs monitoring.
What if I don't pass today?
Your examiner will explain exactly why and what you need next, such as records from your doctor or a follow-up visit.
How long does the exam take?
Most exams take about 20–25 minutes when your intake forms are finished before you arrive.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Exams are by appointment so you're not stuck waiting in a lobby.
Do you have Spanish-speaking staff?
Yes. Our team includes bilingual staff. Ask for Spanish when you call.
