How to see a narcologist and psychiatrist to obtain a driver's license

When is a medical examination needed?

A medical commission is a mandatory procedure for Russian citizens who have completed training in driving schools and plan to obtain a license. It can only be carried out in hospital institutions that have the appropriate accreditation and licenses. An applicant for a driver's license will have to undergo an examination by many highly specialized doctors, an instrumental examination, and submit biological material for testing.

Each doctor on the list approved at the legislative level will have to indicate that the patient has no pathologies in his area. Ultimately, the individual comes to see a therapist, who closes the certificate with his note, signs and seals the medical institution.

Important! If the owner of a vehicle has a license, then he must provide the traffic police with a medical certificate about his state of health no more than once every ten years.

A certificate issued to an individual after passing a medical commission may be required in the following situations:

1. When studying at a driving school.
2. Upon initial acquisition of rights.
3. When a driver opens a new category.
4. When replacing a document after its expiration date.
5. When obtaining a driver's license after the driver has been deprived of the right to drive a car.

How to pass a medical examination not at your place of registration

The law allows for a medical examination not at the place of residence. This is convenient for those who study at a university or work in another city.

An exception is undergoing a psycho-narcological examination. But even in this case, there is a “gap” in the law, which allows you to undergo a medical examination at the place of temporary registration.

If the candidate for obtaining a license does not have the opportunity to register temporarily, then he will have to go to his locality and go through these specialists there. This is due to the fact that the citizen registration database is assigned to a specific dispensary.

Such specialists issue a separate conclusion, which is valid for no more than three months.

Documentation

To undergo a medical examination when obtaining a driver's license at the medical school. The institution must provide the following documents:

• identification document;
• compulsory health insurance policy;
• a document confirming completion of military service;
• medical card if you plan to undergo an examination at a location other than your place of registration (in a private clinic, another region, etc.).

The package of documents may vary depending on the number of specialists or the presence of specific diseases. Due to changes in legislation and the introduction of a new form, photographs are not required at the moment.

An example of the form can be viewed here.

Price

The cost of a medical examination may also vary. This is directly related to the region of residence, category of rights, as well as gender differences between drivers.

For example, women need to undergo additional specialists, and accordingly the cost of a medical report will be higher.

These data must be clarified at the reception desk of the institution where the medical examination is planned.

Deadlines

Currently, the validity period of a medical certificate is 12 months. You can undergo a medical examination in one day , if the clinic specifically allocates a day for this, as specified in the legislation.

Has the list of doctors changed in 2021?

A medical examination for a driver’s license requires an individual to undergo an examination by certain highly specialized doctors:

• neurologist;
• ophthalmologist;
• psychiatrist;
• narcologist;
• therapist;
• women will have to see a gynecologist.

If the therapist suspects the presence of any pathology, he can independently expand the list of doctors for the driver’s medical examination. It may include different doctors who carry out diagnostic procedures using high-tech equipment.

Changes in the rules for passing a medical examination:

Examination by a narcologist and psychiatrist

A driver's examination with a narcologist and a psychiatrist is carried out only in government health care institutions. Doctors bear full administrative responsibility in terms of medical examination, which, taking into account the adjustments, is now spelled out in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

A psychiatrist and a narcologist for the driver’s commission are two required specialists to obtain a license. To obtain a medical certificate, you must undergo a driver's medical examination with a narcologist and a psychiatrist. The opinions of these doctors are paid. When applying to the dispensary, a man must have a passport, a military ID (registration certificate), women must only have a passport.

To obtain a psychiatrist’s opinion, it is important to contact the psychoneurological dispensary at your place of residence or registration. When obtaining licenses of categories BE, CE, C, C1, D, DE, D1E, C1E, you must undergo an electroencephalogram of the brain. This procedure is carried out on the day of the specialist’s visit, also in a psychoneurological dispensary.

A drug test for a driver's license is carried out at a drug treatment clinic at the place of registration or at the driver's place of residence. To obtain a certificate, you must pass a rapid test for drug content in your urine. Also, drivers at the drug treatment center must undergo a Schulte test during a medical examination. A certificate from a dispensary for a driver's license is required for all drivers. Drivers registered with a narcologist risk being left without a driver's license altogether. They are unlikely to be able to obtain a certificate from a drug dispensary for a driver’s license.

Difference for men and women

The driver's commission for male and female audiences is practically no different. The list of doctors for examining ladies has been supplemented by a gynecologist, since there are a number of diseases that prohibit driving vehicles.

It is worth noting that pregnant women can undergo a medical commission.

Ask a Question

In this case, expectant mothers need to visit specialized doctors if they are in good or satisfactory condition. If the pregnancy is in any danger, you should not undergo a medical examination until the birth of the baby.

Health requirements for drivers of different categories

Federal legislation imposes a number of requirements on future drivers, in particular regarding their health.

It is prohibited to drive motor vehicles and motorcycles if individuals have diseases of the following organs and systems:

1. Pathologies of the organs of vision.
2. Complete deafness in 1 ear, chronic purulent processes.
3. Diseases leading to disruption of the vestibular apparatus.
4. Malignant, benign neoplasms that interfere with the free movements of the upper and lower extremities.

10. Postoperative conditions.
11. Hypertension of the third stage.
12. Endocrine pathologies in which there is a disruption in the functionality of the gland.
13. Alcoholism, drug addiction.

Rules for examination in a psychoneurological dispensary

To obtain a psychiatrist’s opinion, the driver will have to go through the following steps:

1. At the first stage, you will need to pay for the doctor’s services and sign an agreement that defines the provision of paid services.
2. At the second stage, the doctor searches the database for a specific person to determine whether he is registered at the dispensary.
3. At the third stage, a control inspection is carried out and a conclusion is drawn up.

There is one addition, but it does not apply to everyone.
Applicants for a driver's license with an open "C" or D-category, before coming to a psychiatrist, must undergo electroencephalography (a test for the passage of an electrical impulse in the human brain) and bring a conclusion about this procedure. If “A” or B-category rights are acquired, then such verification is not necessary. There are isolated cases when drivers of such licenses are required to undergo electroencephalography on the recommendation of a neurologist upon referral from this specialist. If no violations are identified, the psychiatrist will issue a report from Fr.

Stages of passage

The procedure for passing a medical commission involves several stages:

1. An individual applies to any accredited hospital institution.
2. The citizen informs the therapist about what driving category he is applying for.
3. On the spot, the patient will be issued a medical card (bypass sheet), with which he must undergo examination by highly specialized doctors.
4. After the examination, each doctor makes a note about the health status of the future driver.
5. The therapist gives the final conclusion, registers the certificate, certifies it with a wet seal and signature.

An important event

Our government is “working tirelessly”, issuing more and more new regulations. So. From November 22, 2021, the medical examination for your license will change. More precisely, the order of this procedure will change. If the list of medical specialists has not changed, the procedure for examination by some doctors will change. Now, to obtain a certificate from the narcology department, you will need to take blood and urine tests for drugs and their breakdown products. I repeat, the list of medical specialists will remain the same.

To obtain a certificate for driving license categories A, A1, B, B1, BE, M, you must undergo examination by the following doctors:

• A therapist or general practitioner (family doctor) is required;
• Ophthalmologist - required;
• Psychiatrist - required;
• Psychiatrist-narcologist - required;
• Neurologist - only if referred by a therapist.
• Gynecologist (for female drivers);

For categories C, C1, CE, D, D1, DE, D1E, Tm, Tb:

• A therapist or general practitioner (family doctor) is required;
• Ophthalmologist - required;
• Otorhinolaryngologist - required;
• Psychiatrist - required;
• Psychiatrist-narcologist - required;
• A neurologist is a must.
• Gynecologist (for female drivers)

How long is the document valid?

The certificate received during the medical examination has a limited validity period. Starting from 2021, such a document is issued for no more than one year. It is within 12 months after the certificate is issued that it can be presented to the traffic police, even on the last day of validity. But, if an individual has certain types of chronic diseases, then a medical examination will have to be done once every six months.

Ask a Question

Despite the fact that the medical certificate is valid for a year, Russian citizens do not need to pass a commission every 12 months after receiving a driver’s license. The next time the document will have to be drawn up after the expiration of the rights, i.e. not earlier than in 10 years.

Important! An exception to the rules are Russian citizens who work as drivers and, as part of their duty, drive vehicles during their entire working time. They will have to undergo a medical examination every two years. And truck drivers need to be examined by doctors before each multi-day trip.

Cost of document preparation

When planning to undergo examination by highly specialized doctors, an individual must be prepared for the fact that for the full range of activities to obtain a certificate, he will have to pay from 1,500 rubles to 3,000 rubles. The cost of services for each medical institution is calculated individually.

But, Russian citizens will have to pay for visiting doctors at such centers and dispensaries:

1. Psychoneurological.
2. Narcological.
3. Medical.

You will also have to pay the cost of laboratory testing of biological material. Before taking tests, an individual must contact the laboratory and familiarize themselves with the current tariffs.

As for the time that will have to be spent on undergoing examination by highly specialized doctors according to the list, if you take the process seriously, you can handle it in a day. The only thing that can delay the time for receiving a certificate may be waiting for test results. But today laboratories provide a service for accelerated testing of biological samples from patients. By paying for urgency, the future driver will be able to receive this document within a day.

Hospital requirements

The main condition for a quick medical examination is the licensing of the clinic. Regardless of the status of the clinic, the client must first check the availability of permits for such an examination.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of paragraph 3 of Appendix No. 1 of the Order, the clinic must undergo licensing of activities in the following areas:

• examination of drivers for contraindications to driving;
• otolaryngology, provided that the institution has a specialist with this qualification;
• ophthalmology, for drivers of any category this examination is an integral part of the examination, because identifies whether the driver is color blind, has vision problems, etc.;
• neurology (detects the absence of neuroses or epilepsy);
• therapy (it is the general practitioner (therapist) who fills out the final report;
• psycho-narcology and encephalographic examination.

The absence of a license will lead to the fact that the conclusion will be considered invalid and the money will be wasted, the return of which will be practically impossible. Suing such blades is quite expensive.

Driver's medical examination - what doctors are needed:

Obtaining a license when the driver is already registered with a narcologist

Registering with a narcologist and driving a driver’s license are incompatible things. If a potential driver is registered with a narcologist, then problems may arise with learning his license. To obtain a driver's license, the driver will first need to be deregistered, and only then apply for the right to drive a car.

Refusal to test for drugs

Refusal of a medical examination for drugs entails liability in the form of a fine of 30-50 thousand or deprivation of rights. Read more in the article here.

This can only be done when a person registered with a narcologist has not taken drugs or alcohol for a long time. To do this, you will need to undergo a mandatory medical examination, to which only those citizens who have already been deregistered by a narcologist are allowed. To do this, you need to undergo a medical commission; it is carried out on the basis of stable remission in the driver. The commission includes doctors from the medical institution where the citizen was registered. An alternative to this option is the conclusion of a doctor who receives notes from institutions where the drug addict was observed. When a person is regularly registered and completely healthy, deregistration will occur within the prescribed time frame - after 5 years . If it has been reported irregularly for five years, the commission will extend the period, and you will have to go through a narcologist for a driver’s license more than once.

Drivers who have ended up at least once in a drug dispensary because they were found using drugs in some cases do not suspect that they are registered with a drug dispensary and they find out about it when the time comes to get a license. Such drivers are denied a license. There are two options for resolving this situation: you can wait until the end of the period when they are deregistered; You can also agree with the attending physician to appoint an extraordinary medical commission, during which the driver will be removed from the register earlier. The situation is much worse for drivers who were subjected to a forced examination by a narcologist.
