[QUOTE="pickup, post: 686429"] I think there would be a few good reasons for them to want you to go to their doctor. You named one of them: document retention. Another good reason is that they already have an account with that doctor, billing is probably a lot easier than for them having to pay a doctor that they don't have an established relationship with. Another good reason is that the doctor essentially works for them and knows where his bread is buttered. ( That might be a good reason not to go to their doctor). If you have a legitimate medical issue such as a hearing loss, he will be sure to report it as such. A doctor that you chose may not even bother checking such things or will overlook it (especially , if you used your network of truck driving friends, which allowed you to find out about such a doctor that doesn't do such a thorough exam). Another final good reason is that the medical doctor/center that ups wants to send you to probably is charging a low fee per physical because of the volume that ups sends them. It is very possible that the bill you submit for the physical you had with another doctor might be higher than the fee they would have paid had you gone to their doctor. [/QUOTE]
