Physicals for Work We Offer
Healthline Medical Group provides a variety of work-related physical exams and evaluations tailored to employees, job requirements, and workplace safety standards. Our services include:
- Department of Transportation (DOT) Physicals: Our physicians provide DOT physicals for employees who must meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements. We utilize the 3bexam portal for immediate results.
- Pre-Employment and Annual Physicals: These comprehensive exams may include a questionnaire, vital signs, a medical history review, vision and hearing tests, urinalysis, and a physical examination to help determine whether an employee can safely perform essential job duties.
- Medical Clearance Questionnaire (OSHA): We review patient-provided medical information to determine clearance for respirator or mask fitting when required.
- Executive Physicals: Assessments tailored specifically for corporate executives, offering in-depth evaluations designed to support overall wellness and performance at the executive level.
- Functional Capacity Evaluations: These evaluations assess an individual’s ability to perform job-related tasks, providing valuable insight into physical capabilities and potential accommodations that may be needed to promote workplace safety and productivity.
- Fit-for-Duty Exams: When a job description is provided, our team evaluates whether an employee is medically able to perform the essential duties of the position. These exams may be appropriate following a significant personal event or a recent health condition that could affect job performance.
- Return-to-Work Evaluations: After an employee has been away from work for an industrial or non-industrial reason, we can evaluate the patient to determine whether they are ready to return and perform their essential job functions safely.
- OSHA-Compliant Medical Clearance Exams: These comprehensive physical assessments help determine a worker’s fitness for duty and may include lung function testing (spirometry), vision and hearing screening, and evaluation of physical endurance to ensure the employee can safely perform tasks in hazardous work environments.
- Preoperative Exams: Prior to surgery, patients may need medical clearance for their planned procedure. The surgeon provides the required orders, and our healthcare professionals perform the necessary preoperative testing, which may include laboratory tests, a chest X-ray, EKG, and other required evaluations within 30 days of the scheduled surgery. Once the testing and preoperative history and physical exam have been completed and reviewed, the patient may be cleared for surgery. If additional testing is required, the adjuster is notified and an appropriate RFA is submitted to UR. Our staff works to obtain any additional preauthorization necessary to proceed with recommended consultations or testing.

What Happens During Work Physical Exams?
Testing varies depending on the type of physical, the employee’s position, and applicable workplace requirements. In general, physical exams for work evaluate an employee’s overall health and help identify symptoms, medical conditions, or physical limitations that could affect the individual’s ability to safely perform essential job duties.
Exams may include a vital signs check, medical history review, comprehensive physical examination, and additional testing tailored to the employee’s job requirements. Depending on the type of exam, vision, hearing, lung function, urinalysis, or functional testing may also be performed.
