1 Primary Care Providers Role in DOT Certifications Regional Urgent Care Michelle Hagen, PA-C, MPAS Jennifer Blackler, PA-C, MPAS Learning Objectives Understand the key elements of the DOT Physical Understand the new changes being implemented by the DOT on the examiner Understand the Primary Care Provider s role in preparing their patients for the DOT Physical 1

2 Who Does DOT Physicals? Examiner Standards Placed Currently, anyone can perform DOT physicals MD, DO, PA, NP, & Chiropractors Currently, no national data base to track drivers If a driver is not certified by one provider he may go down the street, change his story and get certified Limited education previously available The purpose of training medical examiners is to decrease the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities but ensuring drivers are medically qualified to operate a CMV. 2

3 Why is this Important? MVA s that involve large trucks result in increased fatality for the other vehicle Crash with vehicles 2x mass = 6x risk of death in the lighter vehicle On average a CMV has 20X the mass of an SUV Driver fatigue is the #1 cause of fatalities in the US involving Commercial Motor Vehicles Withholding driver certification is a sensitive VERY issue Make the right call for the driver yet keep in mind the safety of others. Drivers/companies are charged for repeat exams Family of 7 die after pickup is hit by truck- Marana, AZ

4 New Examiner Regulations DOT examiners will be required to prove their registry t t status Training program- $695 Estimated hours online Initial 50 question test at testing center Additional training every 5 years Retest every 10 years Hard deadline is May 21, Unregistered providers will no longer perform DOT physicals Must report all physicals with demographics to the FMCSA on a monthly basis New Regs = Increased Demand Currently 200,000 examiners for over 6M drivers in the US 1:30 In 2014 Estimated 50,000 for nearly 12M drives by :240 4

5 DOT Basics Non-Discretionary Standards Vision- 20/40 in each eye Hearing- less then 40db hearing loss in better ear Epilepsy - disqualifies Diabetes- insulin use disqualifies 5

8 What can the PCP do to help? Be aware of your patient s occupation Keep good control on your patient s chronic medical issues- including proof of testing CAD DM OSA Document any side effects of meds Could their health affect their ability to drive? MAIN QUESTIONS TO ASK COULD THEY HAVE AN INCAPACITATING EVENT WHILE DRIVING? 8

11 Hypertension - Good Blood Pressure control by PCP is essential - DOT currently follows JNC 6 guidelines - Blood pressure needs to be below 140 systolic and 90 diastolic regardless of medication - Uncontrolled HTN - New certification will get 1 year certification - Recertification will get 3 month certification - Patient will be sent to PCP for medication adjustment/treatment - If unable to pass blood pressure restrictions after 3 month certification, driver will be disqualified.

14 Diabetes- Current Diagnosis Watch for hypoglycemia Driver must carry a rapidly absorbing glucose tablet Disqualify if experiences hypoglycemia incoherency Diabetes Non-discretionary standards Disqualified Insulin-dependent d UNLESS has a diabetic waiver from endocrinologist every 2 years Diagnosis of Diabetic Neuropathy Diagnosis of unstable proliferative retinopathy Loss of proprioception Diagnosis of autonomic neuropathies such as cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy that causes resting tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension One hypoglycemic episode in last 12 months or 2 or more episodes in last 5 years DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT 14

16 Obstructed Sleep Apnea Patient must supply recent CPAP log Must demonstrate use the majority of the time Undiagnosed OSA Daytime sleepiness is RED FLAG! Examiner will evaluate risk factors and recommend or require screening tests Anticipate the need 16

21 The exception lies with PCP: A driver may use such a substance or drug if prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner who: is familiar with the driver s medical history and assigned duties; and has advised the driver that the prescribed substance or drug will not adversely affect the driver s ability to safely operate a CMV WE NEED THIS DOCUMENTED!
