Physician Licensing
All evaluations are conducted by physicians who hold active, unrestricted licenses in the patient's state of residence. We verify licensing status through state medical board databases.

Understanding ParkingMD's telehealth physician evaluation services for disability parking certification
What ParkingMD Does
ParkingMD operates as a telehealth platform that facilitates access to licensed physicians for patients who may qualify for disability parking accommodations. Our service addresses a common barrier: many individuals with qualifying medical conditions struggle to obtain timely appointments with physicians who can complete the state-required medical certification forms.
Our Role in the Process
- Connect patients with physicians licensed in their state of residence
- Collect and securely transmit medical documentation to reviewing physicians
- Facilitate physician evaluations via telehealth (where state law permits)
- Provide patients with completed state-specific medical certification forms if approved by a physician
- Direct patients to submit their certification to their state DMV for final determination
What We Do Not Do
- Issue, print, or distribute handicap parking placards or permits
- Guarantee approval—physicians make independent medical determinations
- Override or circumvent DMV authority in any way
- Provide certifications without physician review of qualifying medical documentation
The Patient Process
Patient Submits Request
Patient provides information about their medical condition and uploads supporting documentation (medical records, physician notes, diagnostic reports).
Physician Review
A physician licensed in the patient's state reviews the submitted documentation and, where required by state law, conducts a synchronous telehealth consultation.
Medical Determination
The physician makes an independent medical judgment about whether the patient's condition meets state criteria for disability parking certification. Patients who do not qualify are denied and receive a full refund.
Form Completion
If approved, the physician completes the appropriate state-specific medical certification form (e.g., REG 195 in California, MV-145.1 in New York, HSMV 83039 in Florida).
Patient Submits to DMV
The patient receives their completed medical certification and submits it to their state DMV, which makes the final determination on placard issuance.
Compliance & Oversight
HIPAA Compliance
ParkingMD maintains full HIPAA compliance for all patient health information. Our systems, processes, and agreements are reviewed by healthcare compliance counsel.
State Telehealth Regulations
We adhere to each state's telehealth requirements, including synchronous consultation requirements where mandated by state law.
State Form Compliance
Physicians complete only official state-required forms using the format and information fields specified by each state's DMV.
Medical Documentation Requirements
Patients must provide verifiable medical documentation supporting their condition. Certifications are not issued without physician review of qualifying documentation.
Physician Independence
Physicians exercise independent medical judgment. ParkingMD does not influence, direct, or guarantee medical determinations. Our denial rate reflects this independence.
FAQs
Is ParkingMD issuing handicap placards?
No. ParkingMD facilitates physician medical certifications only. The state DMV retains exclusive authority to issue, deny, or revoke handicap parking placards and permits. Patients must submit their physician certification to the DMV, which makes all final issuance decisions.
How do you verify that patients have qualifying conditions?
Patients are required to submit medical documentation (physician records, diagnostic reports, hospital records) that supports their claimed condition. A licensed physician reviews this documentation and makes an independent determination about whether the patient meets state criteria for disability parking certification.
Are your physicians licensed in my state?
Yes. We only connect patients with physicians who hold active licenses in the patient's state of residence. We can provide verification of physician licensing for any specific case upon appropriate request.
Does everyone who uses your service get approved?
No. Physicians deny certifications when patients do not provide sufficient documentation or when their condition does not meet state criteria for disability parking. Patients who are denied receive a full refund. Our approval rates reflect genuine physician discretion.
What forms do your physicians complete?
Physicians complete only the official state-required medical certification forms—the same forms used by any physician in private practice. We maintain current versions of each state's required forms and update them when states revise their requirements.
Is telehealth evaluation legal for disability parking certification?
Yes, in states that permit telehealth for this purpose. We monitor each state's telehealth regulations and comply with synchronous consultation requirements where mandated. In states requiring in-person evaluation, we do not operate or we require video consultations as permitted.
Can you provide information about a specific patient or certification?
Due to HIPAA regulations, we cannot disclose patient information without proper legal authorization (subpoena, court order, or signed patient release). We will cooperate fully with lawful requests through appropriate legal channels.
