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.

Actually, that statement is true only to the point that the Carrier truely did pay for the physical. IF the Carrier deducted the cost's of the physical from a driver's wages (as so many do), then the driver in fact, paid for the physical!Originally Posted by BigDiesel
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.

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.)
