I had my DOT physical and was sent a bill from the doctors office for $95. Does UPS not pay for the physicals anymore?
Sounds like Teamcare is showing its true colors!!I had my DOT physical and was sent a bill from the doctors office for $95. Does UPS not pay for the physicals anymore?
Did you print out the paperwork from UPSers?I had my DOT physical and was sent a bill from the doctors office for $95. Does UPS not pay for the physicals anymore?
So call them and explain to them that you work for ups and the bill should be sent to them
I would call for you but I don't think that it would teach you anything
Teamcare? Why do you think Teamcare has any responsibility to pay for a UPS physical?Sounds like Teamcare is showing its true colors!!
Much like they won't cover a flu shot!!
They most def do have something to do with them rookie... When you fail your dot physical and need sleep study's More doctor appts etc..... All that used to be covered 100%... NOW ITS NOT!! You really thought u had me there rookieTeamcare? Why do you think Teamcare has any responsibility to pay for a UPS physical?

BUG wrong again!!The company bears all costs (including scheduling) associated with a DOT physical.
Including payment of hourly wages..... if applicable.
ARTICLE 20. EXAMINATION AND IDENTIFICATION FEES
"Section 1. Required Examination
Physical, mental or other examinations required by a government body or the Employer shall be promptly complied with by all employees; provided, however, the Employer shall not pay for any time spent in the case of applicants for jobs, but shall be responsible to other employees only for time spent at the place of examination or examinations where the time spent by the employee exceeds two (2) hours, and in that case only for those hours in excess of said two (2). Examinations are to be taken at the employee’s home area and are not to exceed one (1) in any one (1) year, unless the employee has suffered serious injury or illness within the year. Employees will not be required to take examinations during their working hours, unless paid by the Employer for all time spent. Employees shall be given reasonable notice of dates of examinations.
For those drivers subject to DOT regulations who possess a valid medical certificate from a designated DOT provider, the Employer shall pay for any additional physical, mental, or other examinations required by the Employer to confirm the validity of the medical certificate."
Since when can a DOT Doctor fail you, for suggesting a sleep study ?
If he did.... the cost is borne out by the company.
ITG is not a rookie.
It appears you are.
-Bug-
Countless teamsters are being charged very high rates for sleep studies and the machine!!
I'll get a few to chime in brother... Your correct there is no problem when you pass your physical with no problems! When the doc measures your neck and you fail its immediate $$ out of your pocket because of Teamcare!! #factsWho are these "countless" Teamsters ?
If you can't provide specific documentation to back up your claim....
Stop, before you have no credibility.
You are teetering on the edge, right now.
Aside, from not knowing (or applying) the contract.... anything else ??

You can post contract language all you want brother bug.... I'm telling you what members are facing on the front line! Relax ...I would appreciate, if you would not call me "brother".
For all I know.... you are a TDU Troll.
Again....
You do that.

I have no doubt, most of them don't have the guts to stand up for themselves.
Thats why they vote for (or not) and pay people like me, to do it for them.
The realities of life can be a rude awakening for some.
Contractual language is there.... for those, who choose to use it.
I can't make them.
