The referral process begins with a Medical Review information letter and a physician-submitted Medical Report Form; drivers are given timelines for submission and can request extensions for justified reasons. The report evaluates fitness to drive, including commercial vehicle rules, vision-only specialists, occupational therapist evaluation needs, accident causation, and whether medical recommendations are followed. Outcomes may include unrestricted or restricted licenses or cancellation, with specific crash and law enforcement code triggers and an appeal path.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/nc-dmv-medical-review-unit-report-process-key-points/308512/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/nc-dmv-medical-review-unit-report-process-key-points/308512.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Theodore","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",14,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Who can request a driver reexamination or report to the NC DMV Medical Review Unit?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Family members, health care providers, or any citizen can use the Request for Driver Reexamination Form or write a letter, but it is not anonymous.
