Common questions
Who pays for the medical?
Employer-requested medicals are usually invoiced to the employer. Licence medicals are paid by the applicant. Work-injury consultations are billed to the insurer once a claim is accepted.
How long does a medical take?
Most take 30 to 45 minutes including the paperwork. Diving and commercial driver medicals can take longer.
