San Francisco / San Diego Folks: Medical Examiner Report help

[dC0m]

Hey guys,

I'm about to submit my Medical Examiner Report (CA DL-51), but my primary healthcare hospital wants $70 for it to be completed unless my employer pays for it. I'm not employed yet so it has to come out of my own pocket. Can anyone share where they got theirs done and perhaps at a cheaper rate? I'm open to locations in the Bay Area (specifically San Francisco), and San Diego (I return to college in SD in about a month).

Thanks!

Call local urgent cares. Some urgent cares will do them (cost I'm not sure)

You dont have to go to a Doctor for it. Chiropractors can do it too. They're usually a lot cheaper.

Your doctor (if you have one) should be able to preform it for you. Mine did... but then again I had to have it redone once I got hired.

My primary doctor is an Internal Medicine doc who claims is not certified to do a DL-51. He referred me to the Occupational Medicine dept, which is asking $70 unless an employer pays for it.

Bruce, why did you have to redo it when you got hired? Was it mandated by R/M? Did they cover the expenses the second time?

It was mandated by R/M. I had to have it done prior to completing the lift test. Yes, R/M covered the expense of both the physical and lift test. Being I had my ADL already, I just had to submit the updated physical examination form and DL-5I (green card) to the DMV so that they could update their records.
