DOT physicals in Greeley for $85
A DOT physical in Greeley at NOCO Healthcare costs $85, and that includes the federal filing fee. No surprise charges at the counter. Most exams take 20 to 30 minutes, same-day appointments are often available, and you leave with your medical card if you qualify.
Every DOT physical has to be done by a certified medical examiner on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration National Registry. Our examiner, Sheree Montoya, FNP-C, is on that registry. You can confirm it yourself by searching her name in the registry’s advanced search.
We are a Greeley small business, and a lot of our neighbors drive for a living: trucking, agriculture, oil and gas, and delivery routes all run through Weld County. We know a lapsed medical card means lost work, so we keep the process simple and fast.

What happens during a DOT physical exam
The DOT medical exam follows federal standards, so it looks the same at every certified clinic. What changes is how long you wait and how well the examiner explains things. Here is what our Greeley exam covers.
Health history review. You fill out the driver section of the FMCSA form, and the examiner goes over it with you: medications, surgeries, sleep apnea, diabetes, heart conditions, and anything else that could affect safe driving.
Vision. At least 20/40 in each eye, with or without glasses or contacts, plus a field of vision check and the ability to recognize traffic signal colors.
Hearing. You need to hear a forced whisper at five feet, with or without hearing aids.
Blood pressure and pulse. Under 140/90 qualifies for the full two years. Higher readings may mean a shorter card or a return visit.
Urinalysis. A dipstick test for protein, blood, and sugar. This is not a drug test.
Physical exam. Heart, lungs, abdomen, spine, reflexes, and movement, to make sure nothing would keep you from handling the vehicle safely.
Your Job Depends on a Piece of Paper, and the Clock Is Running.
When a DOT medical card lapses, you can be off the road that day. Waiting two weeks for an exam, or showing up somewhere that cannot fit you in, costs you real money and puts your job on the line.
Our examiner, Sheree Montoya, FNP-C, is on the FMCSA National Registry, and we keep same-day openings for drivers in exactly this spot. One price, $85, federal filing fee included.
You are back on the road this week, with your paperwork filed and nothing hanging over you.

What our patients say
How much a DOT physical costs, and why ours is $85
DOT physical cost is one of the most common questions we get, and prices around Northern Colorado vary a lot. Some clinics quote a low exam fee and add charges for paperwork or the federal filing. Others bill through insurance, which usually does not cover a DOT exam anyway.
Our DOT physical is $85, and that price includes the federal filing fee. It is a self-pay price, so you know the number before you walk in. If you are comparing a cheap DOT physical near you against ours, ask the other clinic one question: does that price include everything?
If you need a longer medical card, managing the condition that shortened it is the best investment. Our primary care office in Greeley helps drivers with blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep issues all year, not just at recertification time.
Your DOT medical card: how long it lasts
If you meet the standards, you leave with a Medical Examiner’s Certificate, the DOT medical card, and we file the results with the FMCSA. A clean exam earns a card good for up to 24 months.
Some drivers get a shorter card, often one year, when a condition needs monitoring. Blood pressure between 140/90 and 159/99 is the most common reason. Drivers with insulin-treated diabetes, sleep apnea, or a heart history may need paperwork from their treating provider before a card can be issued.
If more information is needed, certification can be held until you bring it in. If a standard is not met, the examiner will explain why and what it would take to qualify.
A Lot of Drivers Dread the DOT Physical Because of One Number.
Maybe your blood pressure ran high last time, or you have diabetes or sleep apnea, and you are worried the exam ends with you losing your card. That fear makes people put off the exam until the last possible day.
We would rather help you pass than watch you fail. Because we are also a primary care practice, we can work with you on blood pressure, blood sugar, and paperwork before and after your exam.
You walk into your DOT physical knowing where you stand, and you keep driving.

How long does a DOT physical take?

What do I need to bring to my DOT physical?
Bring your driver's license, a list of your medications with doses, your glasses, contacts, or hearing aids, and any paperwork for conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, or heart disease. If you have an FMCSA vision or diabetes exemption, bring that too.
How long is a DOT medical card good for?
A DOT medical card, officially the Medical Examiner's Certificate, is good for up to 24 months. Drivers with conditions that need monitoring, such as blood pressure in the stage 1 range, may get a shorter card, often one year, so the examiner can recheck.
What is the blood pressure limit for a DOT physical?
For a DOT physical, blood pressure below 140/90 qualifies for the full two-year card. Readings from 140/90 up to 159/99 usually qualify for a one-year card. Higher readings need to be brought down before certification, and our primary care team can help you get there.
Is a DOT physical a drug test?
A DOT physical is not a drug test. The exam includes a urinalysis that checks for protein, blood, and sugar as markers of other health problems. DOT drug testing is a separate process usually arranged through your employer.
Do non-CDL drivers need a DOT physical?
Some non-CDL drivers need a DOT physical. Under FMCSA rules, drivers of commercial vehicles over 10,001 pounds in interstate commerce, vehicles that carry more than a set number of passengers, and hazmat vehicles need a DOT medical card even without a CDL. Ask your employer if you are unsure.
What happens if I do not pass my DOT physical?
If you do not pass your DOT physical, the examiner explains why and what needs to change, such as getting blood pressure or blood sugar under control or getting a specialist evaluation. Because we are also a primary care practice, we can often help you work on the problem and come back.
