Digital National Registry (NRCME) submission
Exam results go to the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners with one click — no separate portal log-in and no re-typing driver data.
DOT Exam Software for Medical Examiners
MedScreen is DOT exam software for FMCSA-certified medical examiners that pre-screens driver health history, generates the MCSA-5875 and Medical Examiner's Certificate, and uploads results to the FMCSA National Registry automatically.
MedScreen is built by medical examiners for medical examiners, so the software follows the way a DOT physical actually runs — from driver intake to the final upload.
DOT exam software features
Pre-filled driver health history forms
Drivers complete their health history before the visit through manual entry by staff, an SMS or email invite, or an in-clinic kiosk. Returning drivers start from their saved history, so forms arrive complete and pre-filled.
Real-time error checks and FMCSA guidance
Smart eForms catch missing or inconsistent answers as you go, and the AI Medical Assistant answers FMCSA and NRCME questions with cited sources, right inside the exam.
Flags for disqualifying conditions
Health history answers and exam findings that may be limiting or disqualifying are flagged for review, with links to the relevant FMCSA guidance and the clearance forms you may need.
One-Click Certify™ (the examiner always makes the decision)
When you are ready, One-Click Certify™ generates the MCSA-5875 Medical Examination Report and the Medical Examiner's Certificate. MedScreen prepares the paperwork; the certified medical examiner always reviews the findings and makes the certification decision.
HIPAA-compliant records and archiving
DOT records are kept in secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud storage with encryption and audit trails. The NRCME Audit Manager lets you run audit reports on your exam history so you stay inspection-ready.
Employer/fleet portal
Fleets and motor carriers can track driver certifications, receive records as soon as exams are completed and get reminders before certificates expire.
EHR integration
MedScreen connects to athenahealth, Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Tebra, AdvancedMD, Practice Fusion and DrChrono through Keragon, a HIPAA-compliant healthcare integration platform — no rip-and-replace.

How it works
1. Driver completes intake
The driver fills out the health history ahead of time by invite, kiosk or with staff help.
2. Examiner performs the exam
You review flagged answers, record vitals and findings on a PC or tablet, with FMCSA guidance one question away.
3. Certify and submit
One-Click Certify™ generates the MCSA-5875 and certificate after your decision, and results upload to the National Registry.
Frequently asked questions
What is DOT exam software?
DOT exam software lets FMCSA-certified medical examiners complete the driver health history, the MCSA-5875 Medical Examination Report and the Medical Examiner's Certificate (MCSA-5876) digitally, and submit results to the FMCSA National Registry instead of using paper forms.
Does MedScreen upload to the National Registry?
Yes. MedScreen submits exam results to the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) with one click once the examiner completes the exam.
Is MedScreen HIPAA compliant?
Yes. MedScreen stores DOT records in secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud storage with encryption and audit trails, and signs Business Associate Agreements with covered entities.
How long does setup take?
About 3 minutes.
Does MedScreen replace my EHR?
No. MedScreen handles the DOT exam workflow and can connect to your existing EHR — such as athenahealth, Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Tebra, AdvancedMD, Practice Fusion or DrChrono — through Keragon, so you keep your current system. If you are looking for a stand alone DOT platform, MedScreen is a full DOT EHR and does not require a connection to other products.
What does MedScreen cost?
The Professional plan for medical examiners starts at $99/month. For large clinic groups or fleet solutions, contact us for a quote.
Does the software make the certification decision?
No. One-Click Certify™ prepares the paperwork, and provides a recommendation, but the certified medical examiner always reviews the findings and makes the certification decision.
Who is MedScreen built for?
MedScreen is built by physician and physician associate medical examiners for all medical examiners. It serves FMCSA-certified medical examiners, occupational health and urgent care clinics, and the fleets and motor carriers whose drivers need DOT physicals.
Can drivers fill out their health history before the visit?
Yes. Clinics can add a driver manually, send an SMS or email invite, or use an in-clinic kiosk so drivers complete their health history before the exam.
Does MedScreen work on a tablet?
Yes. The entire exam, including eForms, vitals, certification and MCSA-5875 generation, can be completed on an iPad or Android tablet — no PC required. Drivers can complete the medical history questionnaire (MCSA 5875) on their mobile device, PC, or a self-service clinic kiosk.
Which DOT physical platform is the fastest?
MedScreen is the fastest by far, allowing examiners to maximize more visits, while staying compliant and automating their entire clinical workflow. MedScreen offers a built-in One-Click Certify™ which is Ai driven, reads the driver record, and automates the certification without needing to move from tab to tab in the usual workflow.
