Federal forms clinicians complete, from FMLA to VA, DOT and FAA

All 322 federal forms in the library, from the Department of Labor, SSA, VA and TRICARE, DOT, FAA, CMS, OPM, IRS, CDC, FDA and USCIS, grouped by program.

This page lists the 322 federal forms in the library, grouped by program, with each group linking to its program page. The ones clinicians see most are the FMLA certifications WH-380-E and WH-380-F, the SSA medical source statements HA-1151 and HA-1152, VA Form 21-2680 and the Disability Benefits Questionnaires, and the DOT driver physical forms MCSA-5875 and MCSA-5876. The largest groups are VA and TRICARE (96 forms), FAA medical certification (66) and Medicare (34).

Routing differs by agency. FMLA forms go back to the patient for the employer and are never sent to DOL. SSA medical source statements arrive per case from a hearing office or the claimant's representative. DBQs go to the Veteran to submit, and VA does not pay for completing them. DOT physicals need a certified medical examiner on FMCSA's National Registry, and the I-693 immigration exam is only for USCIS-designated civil surgeons. Vero Documents fills PDF forms from the visit note and the chart; the clinician reviews and signs.

Frequently asked questions

What form does a doctor sign for a student loan disability discharge?

The Total and Permanent Disability Discharge Application (OMB 1845-0065). An MD, DO, NP, PA or certified psychologist licensed in the U.S. certifies that the borrower cannot engage in substantial gainful activity because of an impairment expected to result in death or to last at least 60 months. FSA prefers electronic signing through a DocuSign email. On paper, every box must be answered, and the borrower must submit within 90 days of the provider's signature.

Who can complete Form N-648 for a citizenship disability exception?

An MD, DO or clinical psychologist licensed in the U.S. The N-648 certifies that a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment keeps a naturalization applicant from meeting the English and/or civics test requirements. The exam must be in person, or by real-time telehealth where state law allows. The applicant files it with Form N-400 or later. USCIS charges no filing fee, and the clinician may charge for the exam and paperwork.

Who can perform the I-693 immigration medical exam?

Only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. The I-693 records the exam for communicable diseases, physical or mental disorders with harmful behavior, drug abuse and vaccinations, required for adjustment of status to permanent residence. The civil surgeon seals it in an envelope for the applicant, who files it with Form I-485. Only the 01/20/25 edition is accepted for civil-surgeon signatures on or after July 3, 2025, and unsigned forms are rejected.

Where do DOT physical exam results go?

The certified medical examiner keeps the MCSA-5875 exam report on file for at least 3 years and uploads the results to FMCSA's National Registry. The driver gets the MCSA-5876 Medical Examiner's Certificate, valid for up to 24 months, or less when a condition needs monitoring. Related federal forms include the MCSA-5870 for insulin-treated diabetes, the MCSA-5871 vision evaluation report and the MCSA-5895 driver medication form.
