Companies require you to release you medical records to them in order to be employed.

Playing the game isn't too hard. The job provides as much as you are willing to put into it.

 

This is the medical record they are referring to. Unless you give them a reason to suspect you aren't physically fit to drive they do not require any of your personal medical records, the personal medical record would be generated under a specialist or primary care physician treatment to confirm if your condition will preventing you from performing your job).



FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31133(a)(8) and 31149(c)(1)(E) to require MEs on the National Registry to record and retain the results of the physical examinations of CMV drivers and to require frequent reporting of the information contained on all of the MECs they issue. Section 31133(a)(8) gives the Agency broad administrative powers (specifically ``to prescribe recordkeeping and reporting requirements'') to assist in ensuring motor carrier safety. [Sen. Report No. 98-424 at 9 (May 2, 1984)]. Section 31149(c)(1)(E) authorizes a requirement for electronic reporting of certain specific information by MEs, including applicant names and numerical identifiers as determined by the FMCSA Administrator.




The new system is starting because in the old days drivers used to be able to shop around until they found a more lenient DOT physical examiner, then they would use the long form from the good examination to fulfill the requirements to retain their license.

Reporting of this information would be accomplished, by completing a CMV Driver Medical Examination Results Form, MCSA-5850, via their individual password-protected National Registry web account. For holders of CDLs and CLPs, FMCSA also proposes to electronically transmit driver identification, examination results, and restriction information from the National Registry system to the State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs). This includes those that have been voided by FMCSA because it finds that an ME has certified a driver who does not meet the physical certification standards.
