How to use it:

The Driver Search function allows you to make use of the most current Medical Examiner library of driver/patient intake entries. This way you don’t have to go through the tedious process of manually entering contact information with every new exam. This also helps to prevent meaningful errors in the ID / Verification section which can impact driver certification:

Look up the driver’s entry by filling in the two fields shown:

• Last Name
• Email

(important: the last name and email must match the driver’s entry but are not case sensitive)

Thats it! Once completed, the majority of page one will be populated with the driver entry data:

I don’t have any driver entries yet:

Even if you have yet to utilize the driver registration/intake form in your clinic, you can look up the driver’s existing entry by following the instructions above.

My patient has not completed their intake form:

Have the patient scan the following QR Code or URL below to complete their intake:

simplephysical.com/driver

How do I refresh my patient’s data?

Refreshing your patient’s data is as simple as clearing either of the search fields and then re-entering them. It is recommended to clear the Last Name field rather than Email.

All of the fields that have been modified by the driver since their last examination will be updated. This can be helpful in the case of a change of address or new employer contacts.

My patient doesn’t have an email address…

No problem! You can skip the driver search fields and complete the health history form manually if you prefer. Pressing ‘Continue’ will save the exam record to your account.

Simply resume the exam from the dashboard or directory listing. You can now progress through the remaining pages normally and on re-exams.

What if they don’t know what type of commercial driving they’ll be doing?

The most flexible option is to certify as a Non-Excepted INTERstate driver and submit a medical certificate. This allows them to accept jobs that require you to operate across state lines.

The driver is not a CLP/CDL applicant/holder?
