Reimbursement for Physical Examination. If an employee is required to have a medical/physical examination by District and/or state regulations, cost of the examination will be paid by the District if the employee uses District-designated physicians. When an employee presents, in a timely manner (e.g. at least 8 work weeks prior to a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) expiring), information to the immediate supervisor as to the extenuating medical reason(s) the employee is requesting to be granted an exception to have their personal physician perform the required physical, the supervisor will discuss the mitigating circumstances with the employee. The supervisor does not need detailed specific medical information. Examples of “extenuating medical reason(s)” and “mitigating circumstances” are outlined below: A. The District’s physician requires medical information from the employee’s personal physician to complete the exam. B. The District’s physician does not have the specialized expertise or equipment to conduct the physical without the services of the employee’s personal doctor. C. In general, requests that include reasons related to convenience, comfort, ease, “my personal doctor knows me better,” or complaints about the District’s physicians’ means, methods or manners will not meet the criteria for “extenuating medical reasons.” The supervisor will provide a written response within 5 work days. With the District's consent, the employee may select a physician to perform the required physical, with the District reimbursing the employee up to the cost paid to the District-designated physician. The District is not required to pay for additional exams or testing required as a result of an employee’s personal physical or health issues. The employee will utilize forms provided by the District to be completed by the employee-selected physician. The employee shall provide a written release to the examining physician for the District's designated representative, allowing the release of medical information pertinent to the performance of the employee's duties. If the employee’s exception request to utilize a personal physician for extenuating medical reason(s) is denied, the employee may appeal the decision to the Director of Human Resources. A written response will be provided from Human Resources within 5 work days.
