Maryland Law specifies that only licensed physicians, physician assistant, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, optometrists or podiatrists can certify to the particular conditions listed. You, your dependent, or any person who depends on you for transportation may be certified as having a disability under the ten conditions listed.
A. A licensed physician, licensed physician assistant or licensed nurse practitioner may certify all qualifying conditions listed.
B. A licensed chiropractor or licensed podiatrist may certify disability codes (3 through 8 and 10).
C. A licensed optometrist may certify only qualifying conditions regarding vision.
D. The person with the disability may self-certify the conditions listed under disability code 6, by appearing in person with proper identification. In this situation, only the disabled person’s name and this disability code must be recorded. If, however, a doctor certified the loss of a limb, the doctor must complete all of Section C.
