Published self-pay TLC medical pricing at Nao Medical is $125. Bring the correct official TLC form for your stage and keep the separate TLC drug test on the Labcorp side of the process.
For a new driver, use the official new-applicant medical form and follow its examination and submission dates. For a renewal, check the current TLC account or notice and ask for the accepted form. If the renewal form is unavailable, ask TLC which document to use. Do not assume the new-driver timing rule applies to every renewal. Confirm signature, validation and examiner acceptance before uploading the completed document.
Nao publishes a $125 self-pay TLC medical visit. Confirm that price and its scope before booking, including any repeat examination or additional medical evaluation. TLC drug testing, driver courses and licensing fees are separate costs. Personal insurance participation does not establish coverage for a licensing examination. Ask whether a company reimburses the visit and keep the receipt.
Use TLC’s approved Labcorp location and scheduling instructions. New applicants complete testing after submitting the application; current drivers have separate interim and renewal timing. TLC currently requires renewal-year testing within the 90 days before license expiration, while interim testing uses the interim date. Bring the documents TLC specifies. A clinic medical form, general workplace screen or home test does not complete this requirement. Check current fees and appointment instructions with TLC.
A TLC medical-certification visit supports the medical portion of a New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission driver application or a specific renewal requirement. It does not issue a TLC license or finish a rideshare platform’s onboarding. Start with the current TLC application or notice and identify exactly which medical form is requested. The exam, drug test, education and city licensing review have separate steps.
The clinician reviews the driver’s health and completes the applicable medical certification when the evaluation supports it. Health history, medicines, symptoms and any relevant records help the clinician assess safe driving. A generic urgent-care note or a DOT medical card is not automatically a substitute for the requested TLC form. Additional medical information can be necessary even when an appointment is available quickly.
New York City Local Law 165 of 2023 permits commission-designated physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to examine taxi driver applicants. The currently linked new-driver form still uses physician-only wording. Before booking, confirm that the actual examiner and completed form will meet the current TLC acceptance process. The law broadens permitted professional types; it does not mean that every clinician or clinic is designated for the required examination.
For a new application, download the official new-driver form and coordinate the exam with your application date. Bring it to the clinician, then check that the completed document contains the required signature and validation. Submit it through the TLC application or TLCUP as instructed. Check the remaining application requirements and status separately. If TLC sends a notice about missing information, respond to that specific request and deadline rather than submitting an unrelated clinic note.
Bring photo ID, your driver-license and application information, the requested form, a medication list, glasses or hearing aids and relevant medical records. For a new-driver application, the official form says the examination cannot be more than 90 days before the application. It also requires submission within 90 days after the application. A renewal has its own current account and notice instructions; do not apply the new-applicant exam window to a renewal without checking them.
Discuss conditions or medicines that may affect alertness or safe vehicle operation. Do not stop treatment, omit a prescription or drive while impaired to try to finish licensing faster. The clinician may need another record or assessment before signing. A completed medical form does not permit driving with an expired or unapproved TLC license. Follow any clinical restrictions and use TLC’s official license-status information before taking passengers.
TLC currently permits renewal up to 90 days before expiration. An expired license stays expired until TLC processes and approves a complete late renewal, even where TLC allows requirements to be completed within 180 days after expiration. These are licensing windows, not proof of a universal medical-exam deadline. Check your TLC account or renewal notice, and ask TLC whether a medical form is required and which date rule applies to your renewal.
The listed self-pay TLC medical visit costs $125. Nao has 11 local clinics. Confirm appointment availability, examiner eligibility and any extra charge before travel. TLC drug testing must follow TLC’s approved-site process, currently described through Labcorp. A Nao workplace collection or a home test does not automatically satisfy that process. Ask TLC about the exact test requirement and fee; the clinic medical-visit price does not include every city licensing or drug-testing cost.

The TLC medical form and TLC drug testing are separate requirements. Follow TLC’s current drug-testing instructions and approved collection pathway, rather than assuming a general clinic urine test satisfies it. Confirm applicant/renewal status, due dates, required identification and the exact authorized collection location with TLC.
The TLC medical examination is listed at $125. Confirm the current scope and price before booking. TLC drug testing is separate through the TLC-approved Labcorp pathway, whose current published fee is $34. Licensing, education and other application requirements can add separate costs.

Follow TLC’s approved drug-testing site and booking instructions. Its current program uses the Labcorp pathway. A medical exam, general workplace collection or home test does not automatically satisfy the TLC drug-test requirement.
