I've never seen anything that said I had to keep the long form with me at all times while driving. Medical Card suffice's for the long form.

Correct. You don't need to have a copy of your long form medical. You only need your medical card.

Sorry, but you are incorrect... Since the carrier paid for, provided the form and the physical.... It is their property and that form could not be released to another carrier with that individuals medical information. I suggest that you read up on HIPAA before making another statement regarding medical privacy information. :thumbsup: Have a nice day.

You're right - that is the question. The driver is given a copy of the long form medical form upon completion of the physical for his or her records anyway, so I still don't see any reason why they wouldn't provide one to the driver if asked. The information is private between the doctor, the carrier, and the driver.
The driver gets a copy, and they send a copy to the company office. (that's how our clinic does it.) |
