Medical certificate for driver's license replacement. Medical board on the rights

A medical certificate for the replacement of a driver's license is necessary for anyone who has expired this document. At the same time it is established whether a person at the time of examination has contraindications to the driving of cars and other moving equipment.

About where to get a driver's medical certificate

Currently, it is easiest to obtain such a document in private medical centers, which have the appropriate permission to issue certificates of this type. It should be noted that the simplicity and high speed of passing such a commission will cost the patient quite expensive. The fact is that a medical certificate to replace a driver's license requires a visit to a number of specialists and the surrender of several tests. The cost of medical examination and laboratory, as well as instrumental research in private centers is much higher than in public ones. In this case, analyzes in paid clinics will be checked much faster, and there are no queues to specialists there.

The medical commission for the rights, passed in the state institution of public health services, will require much less money. At the same time, the speed of its passage will be much lower.

Different centers are the result of one

Many believe that if they were not allowed to drive a car on the basis of the results of the commission in one medical institution, in another they can pass it with a positive verdict. This opinion is erroneous. The fact is that a medical certificate to replace a driver's license will allow a person to drive a car only when he has no contraindications. At the same time, they are all defined by the same document. So there is absolutely no difference in where exactly the person passes the commission, for the final result is not.

For how long is the reference provided?

This document remains valid only for a certain period of time. The number of years covered by the driver's medical certificate depends on the presence or absence of various diseases. In the event that a person does not have any serious ailments, the extension period may be 2 years. If, however, the health of the person being examined causes the doctor any questions, then the time interval between medical commissions can be reduced up to 1 year. After the expiry of this document, the driver's medical certificate must be replaced in a timely manner. Otherwise, the traffic police can have serious claims to the driver.

How long does the commission last?

It depends on the center that the person has chosen. If it is a question of private clinics, a medical certificate for the replacement of a driver's license can be obtained almost per day. In the event that a person gave preference to a state institution, the process can take up to a week.

It is worth noting that most of the various commissions, including driving licenses, take place in the first half of the year. As a result, September-November is an excellent period for obtaining a driver's medical certificate.

What tests and tests do you have to go through?

In order to obtain a driver's medical certificate became possible, you will have to undergo several tests and studies. Among the main:

• general blood analysis;
• general urine analysis;
• Blood test for glucose;
• Electrocardiography;
• fluorography.

Depending on the presence of a patient of certain diseases, specialists can refer him to an additional examination. In addition, pre-examinations in stationary conditions may be necessary.

What kind of specialists will you visit?

The help of the driver's medical commission will be signed only if the person passes all the necessary specialists. Among them:

• surgeon;
• ophthalmologist;
• Otorhinolaryngologist;
• neurologist;
• Gynecologist (for women of the fair half of humanity);
• psychiatrist;
• expert in narcology;
• therapist.

At the reception of the surgeon

A new driver's medical certificate without a visit to this specialist will not be issued. This is due to the fact that surgical pathology often becomes the reason for denying a person the right to drive an automobile product. Most often, it is about those cases when the examinee has had any injuries in the past. Also, the cause of the ban can be congenital defects in the development of the musculoskeletal system.

Neurologist

The medical commission on the rights necessarily assumes visits by the candidate to the drivers of this specialist. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the central or peripheral nervous system. One of the most common ailments, in which a medical certificate to replace a driver's license will impose a ban on the management of road transport, is epilepsy.

Psychiatrist-Narcologist

Most often it's the same doctor. As for the psychiatrist, he will certainly ask the passing commission a few questions. In addition, the specialist will check whether a person is on record for one or another mental illness, whether he had any suicidal attempts in the past.

If we talk about taking a narcologist, then for a person who has never really abused alcoholic beverages and does not take any drugs, he will proceed very quickly. If earlier the patient had to visit this specialist not only for medical examination, he may have serious problems with obtaining a permit for driving an automobile product.

Otorhinolaryngologist

This specialist is engaged in the detection and treatment of diseases of the ears, throat, and nose. In the event that they reach a significant degree, a person may not sign a certificate of successful passage of the driver's commission. At the same time, the conclusion of an otorhinolaryngologist is extremely rarely the cause of the ban on the management of motor vehicles.

Without an ophthalmologist, nowhere

One of the key specialists, which need to go through the medical commission, is an ophthalmologist. The main moment at the reception is he will have a vision test. The fact is that a visually impaired person can cause huge problems for the entire traffic. It is absolutely not necessary that a patient with poor eyesight will be forbidden to drive a car. An ophthalmologist will help him in solving his problems. The doctor will prescribe the patient a rational course of treatment or prescribe the wearing of glasses or contact lenses with certain corrective characteristics.

What will the therapist say?

The help of the driver's medical commission will not be signed without passing the therapist. The fact is that this particular specialist most often makes diagnoses that prohibit a person from driving a car. Usually the cause of such limitations is arterial hypertension of the 2 nd or 3 rd degree. At the same time, if in the second case a person is involved in road traffic as a driver, it is clearly forbidden, but in the first case, the approach will be individualized. The fact is that the second degree of hypertension becomes a prohibition for driving motor vehicles only when at least six hypertensive crises are diagnosed in a person in the previous year.

In addition to hypertension, the causes of inhibitions on driving are other diseases of the cardiovascular system. Especially if there is a serious circulatory failure. In the post-stroke and post-infarction periods within 1 year, the certificate of the driver's medical commission is not issued, even if the person is already feeling normal. The patient will not be able to obtain a permit to manage road transport even during the active course of the oncological process.

Any acute illness is the reason for postponing the commission. Trying simply not to complain to the therapist about any symptoms of a different kind of cold is also not worth it. The fact is that in acute cases of respiratory diseases in the overwhelming majority of cases, the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation is at least increased. As a result, the doctor still does not sign the certificate, and can still send for additional studies, which also have to pay.

How much is?

The cost of passing a medical driver's license depends to a large extent on what kind of health care facility a person has addressed. In state polyclinics, its cost usually ranges from 800 to 1200 rubles. As for private medical centers, this service will cost between 1500 and 2000 rubles.
