					 issuance of the learner's permit. In addition, the Department administers a
					 medical reporting program which includes reports from the medical community and
					 reports from others.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Medical Unit
. The Department's Medical Unit receives over
					 40,000 reports each year from the medical community regarding individuals who
					 have a medical condition which may affect their ability to drive
					 safely.
(b)
Reports
. Those reports originate from physicians, nurses,
					 hospitals, emergency rooms, trauma units, rehabilitation facilities and other
					 care takers.
(c)
Processing
					 of reports by Medical Unit
. When these reports are received, they are
					 reviewed and evaluated on a case by case basis by the Medical Unit. The Medical
					 Unit reviews the information provided in relation to the medical regulations
					 formulated by the Medical Advisory Board.
(d)
Action by the Medical
					 Unit
. Upon careful evaluation of the information, the Medical Unit
					 takes one of the following actions.
(1)
					 Recall the driving privilege.
(2)
					 Restore the driving privilege.
(3)
					 Add medical restrictions to the driving privilege.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Medical Unit recall of license
. When a physician provides
					 clear information indicating that the person does not meet the medical
					 regulations for safe driving, the Medical Unit recalls the driving
					 privilege.
(b)
Example.
For example, when the physician notifies the
					 Department that a patient has an uncontrolled seizure disorder and provides
					 clear, specific information including the last seizure date, the Medical Unit
					 makes an informed decision as to the disposition of the case based on the
					 medical regulations. The Medical Unit has sufficient information to determine
					 if the recall of the driving privilege is warranted.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Restoration.
When a physician provides clear information
					 indicating that the person does meet the medical regulations for safe driving,
					 the Medical Unit restores the driving privilege.
(b)
Example.
For example,
					 when the physician notifies the Department that a patient with an uncontrolled
					 seizure disorder is controlled on medication and has been seizure free for 6
					 months, the Medical Unit makes an informed decision as to the disposition of
					 the case based on the medical regulations. The Medical Unit has sufficient
					 information to determine if the restoration of the driving privilege is
					 warranted.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Addition or deletion of information.
When the physician
					 submits information which, when compared to the medical regulations, will
					 result in a restriction being added or deleted from the driver's license, the
					 Medical Unit adds or deletes the restriction.
(b)
Example.
For example, a
					 driver may develop cataracts and the driver's visual acuity may decline to a
					 level where the driver must be restricted to driving in daylight hours only. In
					 the same manner, if the driver later has surgery to remove the cataracts, the
					 restrictions may be removed.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 67 - TRANSPORTATION › Part I - Department of Transportation › Subpart A - Vehicle Code Provisions › Article IV - Licensing › Chapter 82 - GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING CAUSE TO INITIATE EXAMINATION-STATEMENT OF POLICY › Section 82.6 - Additional examination

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
When additional exam is required
. When a physician submits
					 information indicating that the driver may have a condition which affects the
					 ability to drive safely, but the Medical Unit has insufficient information to
					 compare the patient's condition with the Medical Advisory Board's medical
					 regulations, the Medical Unit requires the driver to have a physician complete
					 additional medical examination forms or the driver may be required to complete
					 a driver's examination.
(b)
Example.
For example, the Medical Unit receives a report from
					 an emergency room physician stating that an individual had a seizure. The
					 report contains no other information regarding the condition. The Medical Unit
					 cannot determine from that information whether or not the person has an
					 uncontrolled seizure disorder. The seizure may have represented a single
					 incident as a result of a transient illness, an allergic reaction or some other
					 cause. The Medical Unit requires that the driver have a Convulsive Disorder
					 Form completed.
(c)
Failure
					 to respond.
If the driver does not respond to the Department's
					 examination requirement within 30 days, the driver is sent a notice of
					 suspension for not complying with this requirement. This suspension is for an
					 indefinite period of time until the driver complies with the Department's
					 requirement. This suspension may be avoided or restored upon receipt of the
					 requested information.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 67 - TRANSPORTATION › Part I - Department of Transportation › Subpart A - Vehicle Code Provisions › Article IV - Licensing › Chapter 82 - GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING CAUSE TO INITIATE EXAMINATION-STATEMENT OF POLICY › Section 82.7 - No action

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
When
					 no action is warranted.
When a physician provides information about a
					 medical condition that does not affect the ability to drive, the Medical Unit
					 takes no action.
(b)
Example.
For example, when a physician notifies the Medical
					 Unit that an individual had a seizure as a result of a prescribed change in
					 medication, but the previous medication that was effective in controlling the
					 seizure has already been reinstated, the driver can continue to drive safely.
					 The Medical Unit reviews this information in relation to the medical
					 regulations and takes no action.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Reports.
In addition to physician reports, the Medical Unit
					 annually receives approximately 2,000 police reports, 500 accident reports and
					 500 reports from concerned family members regarding individuals who may have a
					 medical condition that affects the individual's ability to drive.
(b)
Evaluation.
(1) These reports are also evaluated on a
					 case by case basis. The Medical Unit carefully scrutinizes these reports for
					 validity.
(2) To investigate the
					 validity of the report, the Medical Unit frequently contacts the source of the
					 report by the telephone, especially in the case of reports from family members,
					 to ask for more information or to discuss the case to determine validity. When
					 the report is from a friend or neighbor, additional precautions are taken. The
					 Medical Unit recognizes that while some reports that come from these
					 individuals are made out of legitimate concern, others may be the result of
					 malice. Neighbors occasionally have disagreements that result in animosity and
					 hostility. On the other hand, for those individuals with no family, neighbors
					 are often the primary caregiver. The Medical Unit takes every possible
					 safeguard to ensure that these reports are legitimate.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
Section 1517(b) of the act (relating to medical advisory
						board) authorizes the Department to adopt physical and mental criteria,
						including vision standards, for licensing of drivers under Chapter 15 of the
						act (relating to licensing of drivers). These physical and mental criteria have
						been formulated by the Medical Advisory Board under the authority of sections
						1517 and 1518 of the act (relating to medical advisory board and reports on
						mental or physical disabilities or disorders). In addition to their use by the
						Department in connection with its responsibilities under Chapter 15 of the act,
						these physical and mental criteria shall be used by physicians, chiropractors,
						CRNPs and physician assistants in conducting physical examinations of
						applicants for learner's permits and driver's licenses and by physicians and
						other persons authorized to diagnose and treat disorders and disabilities
						covered in this chapter in determining whether a person examined by the
						provider should be reported to the Department as having a disorder affecting
						the ability of the person to drive safely.
The provisions of this §
													83.1 amended under the Vehicle
						  Code,
						  75 Pa.C.S. §§
														1508,

					 eye, the vision in that eye shall be corrected to its best visual
					 acuity.
(2) A person with visual
					 acuity of 20/40 or better combined vision and who has visual acuity of less
					 than 20/40 in one eye, may drive without corrective lenses upon determination
					 by a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist that the person's combined vision
					 would not be improved by the use of corrective lenses.
