Verifying Medical Examiner is on National Registry
Per § 391.43(c), the medical examiner who issues a CMV driver's medical certificate must be on the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. The carrier must verify this in the DQF (§ 391.51(b)(7)).
How to verify
- Visit nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov
- Search by examiner's name OR registry number
- Confirm "active" status
- Note the registry number for the DQF
What to document in DQF
- Examiner's name
- Examiner's National Registry number
- Date of certification
- Date of medical examination
- Expiration of certificate
Common issues
- Examiner is not on the registry (e.g., issued certificate from a NRCME-removed physician)
- Examiner moved off registry between exam and verification
- Examiner number is on file but driver was actually seen by a non-registered associate
- Telemedicine exams — must still be a National Registry-certified examiner
Examiner removal from registry
FMCSA periodically removes examiners for:
- License lapse
- Disciplinary action
- Failure to complete continuing education
- Voluntary withdrawal
- Fraudulent activity
What to do if examiner is removed
Per § 391.43(c), the carrier should review the medical certificate validity:
- Recent certificates (within 30 days of removal) may still be valid (review case-by-case)
- Older certificates from removed examiners may be questioned at audit
- Best practice: re-examine the driver with a registered examiner
Compass automation
Compass DQ Files module verifies the examiner number against the FMCSA National Registry weekly. If an examiner is removed, drivers with affected certificates are flagged for review.
