    Refuses to give Long form because it's "their property". Assumption~because they paid for PHYSICAL? IDK
    If employer will not give you DOT long form go to doctor that did physical. It's your health information.
    According to FMCSA:
    • The medical examiner is required to provide the driver with a paper copy of the original Medical Examiner’s Certificate, form MCSA-5876.
    According to HIPAA~
    Health Information Privacy
    Your Medical Records

    The Privacy Rule gives you, with few exceptions, the right to inspect, review, and receive a copy of your medical records and billing records that are held by health plans and health care providers covered by the Privacy Rule.

    You still have the right to go to that Doctor's office and request/receive a copy of the form.

    I find it weird that the doctor would send it to the employer especially since we all have to self certify now. How are you supposed to self certify if the employer has your long form?Maybe we do it different here in California.
