Every first-, second- or third-class FAA medical certificate under 14 CFR Part 67 starts with this application. The pilot reports medical history in MedXPress, which transmits it to the FAA for the AME to review at the exam. The AME then records the physical exam, findings and certification decision in AMCS, so there is no fillable public PDF.
The pilot completes Items 1 to 20 in MedXPress. The Aviation Medical Examiner completes the exam items 21 to 58 and the review items 59 to 64, including Block 60 comments and the AME declaration, in AMCS.

No. Only an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner can perform the exam and complete the examiner's items in AMCS. A pilot who wants to fly under BasicMed instead can see any state-licensed physician, who completes FAA Form 8700-2 rather than this application.
Not for completing the application. The pilot fills in the history portion in MedXPress, which sends it to the FAA for the AME to review, and the AME completes and transmits the rest through AMCS. The AME may print a summary sheet for the pilot.
