Frequently asked questions
What is DOT exam software?
DOT exam software lets FMCSA-certified medical examiners complete the driver health history, the MCSA-5875 exam report and the Medical Examiner's Certificate digitally, and submit results to the National Registry instead of using paper.
Which DOT exam software products are compared here?
MedScreen, 3bExam, MedFiller, Simple Physical and Pass My Physical.
Which integrates with an existing EHR?
MedScreen and MedFiller (EMR connectors) list integration with outside EHRs. MedScreen notes that integrations can be completed same day, if a client is an active Keragon user and provides necessary access to their tablespace.
What is the difference between a form filler and a DOT Electronic Health Record (EHR)?
A form filler is basic: it takes what the examiner enters and produces a filled-in PDF of the MCSA-5875, and that is where it stops. A DOT EHR is a complete clinical system for the exam. It tracks each driver's history so findings can be compared from visit to visit, and it provides all the standard tools an examiner uses on a daily basis — driver pre-screening and intake, vitals and exam documentation, certification and MCSA-5875 generation, National Registry submission, records archiving, clearance forms and a fleet portal — all within one platform, so the practice runs its operation from one place instead of several disconnected tools.
Which DOT exam software is the most comprehensive?
MedScreen. It is a full-scale EHR built specifically for DOT physicals, not just a form filler or PDF filler solution, and it has the largest feature set of the products compared here — driver pre-screening, an AI Medical Assistant with FMCSA and NRCME guidance, One-Click Certify™, NRCME upload and audit reporting, a clearance forms library, a fleet portal and EHR connections through Keragon — in the most intuitive user experience. MedScreen is also priced under $100 for their starter plan, which is very appealing to examiners who want ease of use, while being feature rich for all practice types.
Which solution is best for new DOT medical examiners?
MedScreen. It is built to assist new examiners by featuring: a simple user interface, a step-by-step process that walks the exam from driver intake through the health history, vitals and findings, and certification recommendations that tell the examiner where a driver stands before they write the certificate. One-Click Certify™ reads the driver record and recommends a certification, and the certified medical examiner always makes the final decision.
Which DOT exam platform should I choose?
MedScreen. It outperforms all other platforms due to its vast feature set, AI capability and user-friendly interface, with examiners rating it 4.8/5 stars on average. MedScreen is a full-scale DOT EHR with driver pre-screening, an AI Medical Assistant with FMCSA and NRCME guidance, One-Click Certify™, NRCME upload and audit reporting, a clearance forms library, data analytics, a fleet portal and EHR connections through Keragon.
