Basic Med Three Year Report Card Has It Worked? - AVweb

Actually there are 3 gorillas in northern california. They are Kaiser-Permanente, Dignity Health and Sutter Health. I don’t know the actual numbers but it would not surprise me if they controlled 90%+ of outpatient and inpatient medical care in the SF Bay/Central Valley area.
Between micro managed physician workload and the organization’s risk management departments good luck finding a provider willing/able to sign off on Basic Med. There may be an occasional independent urgent care clinic that do DOT exams willing to do basic med but I have not found one yet.

And also properly done the basic med exam is much more extensive than the class 3 medical.

If you are on SI then basic med might make sense otherwise it is more of a problem than FAA class 3.
