Your answers help us tell you whether your situation is likely to fall within Florida's criteria and within our doctors' scope. It is a screening step, not a medical opinion, and the doctor makes the final decision at your visit.

About the free Florida placard eligibility check

This short check tells you whether a video visit with one of our Florida-licensed doctors is likely to be the right path for a disabled parking permit. It takes about two minutes, it is free, and it never asks for a card.

It is a screening step, not a medical opinion. Answering the questions does not mean you have been approved for anything, and it does not commit you to booking. The doctor makes the medical decision during your visit, using their own clinical judgment.

What the questions cover

  • Whether you will be in Florida during your video visit, which Florida law requires
  • The condition that affects your walking
  • How far you can walk without needing to stop and rest
  • Whether the condition is ongoing or temporary, such as recovery from surgery
  • Whether you are applying as an expectant mother, which uses a different state form

What happens next

If your answers fall within Florida's criteria and within our doctors' scope of practice, you are taken to a page where you can choose an appointment time. Nothing is charged when you book. Your card is saved and charged $119 approximately 24 hours before your visit, and you can cancel or move the appointment before then at no cost at all.

The visit itself takes about five minutes by private video. If the doctor certifies you, they complete and sign the doctor's portion of Florida form HSMV 83039, or HSMV 83040 if you are an expectant mother. You then submit the signed form to your county tax collector, who issues the permit.

If we are not the right fit

If the check shows your situation falls outside Florida's criteria, or outside what our two doctors can evaluate, we tell you immediately and you are charged nothing. Florida allows several types of licensed provider to sign the form, so your own physician may be able to help.

Prefer not to do this online?

Call (754) 233-0586, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern. A person answers. A family member or caregiver is welcome to handle the paperwork on a patient's behalf, though the patient does need to be present for the video visit, because Florida law requires the doctor to evaluate the patient directly.

Common questions

Does the eligibility check cost anything?

No. The check is free, it does not ask for a card, and finishing it does not commit you to anything. You only pay if you decide to book a visit, and even then the $119 is not charged until 24 hours before your appointment.

Who qualifies for a disabled parking permit in Florida?

Florida sets the criteria in section 320.0848 of the Florida Statutes and prints them on the application form. In general, a permit is for a person who is certified as legally blind, or who has a qualifying condition that leaves them unable to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest. The walking limit has to be caused by one of the conditions the state lists. The doctor makes that determination during your visit.

What happens after I finish the check?

If your answers are within Florida's criteria and within our doctors' scope, you are shown a page where you can book a video visit. If they are not, we tell you straight away, at no cost, and point you toward other options.

How long is the video visit?

About five minutes. A Florida-licensed doctor asks about your condition and how it affects your walking. If they can certify you, they complete and sign the doctor's section of Florida form HSMV 83039.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. The visit works from a phone, tablet or computer with a camera, and there is nothing to download. If you would rather not do any of it online, call (754) 233-0586 and a person will help you. A family member or caregiver can also do this on your behalf.

Who actually issues the placard?

Florida does, through your county tax collector or a license plate agency. Provider Notes performs the medical certification only. We are a private telehealth practice, not a government agency.

What if the doctor cannot certify me?

You are told why, in plain language. The $119 covers the evaluation itself, so it is not refunded, the same way any medical office works. You are free to seek certification from your own physician instead.

Provider Notes is a private telehealth practice operated by Access Path Management, LLC. We perform the medical certification only. Disabled parking permits are issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through your county tax collector. Certification is a clinical decision and is not guaranteed. See why you can trust us for our licenses, pricing and refund terms in full.

Rather answer these with a person?

Call and we will walk you through it. A family member or caregiver is welcome to do this on your behalf.
