See if you're eligible for a Florida parking permit.

Florida law permits licensed physicians and chiropractors to evaluate patients by telehealth and to complete disabled parking permit certifications within their scope of practice. Both of our providers are Florida-licensed, and you can verify their licenses yourself on our Our Doctors page.

One of two Florida-licensed doctors. Dr. Dean Fishman, a chiropractor, handles orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, joints, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery. Dr. Barry Schapiro, a physician, handles medical conditions including heart, lung, neurological, and vision-related cases, plus surgical recovery and pregnancy. We match you with the right doctor based on your condition, so you don't have to choose.

Florida-qualifying conditions include severe arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions, post-stroke mobility limits, post-surgical recovery, herniated discs, cardiac conditions that limit walking (Class III or IV), lung disease or oxygen dependence, vision impairment affecting safe walking, needing a cane, walker, or wheelchair, and being unable to walk 200 feet without resting. Our chiropractor and physician together cover the full range.

No. The 2-minute eligibility check is free. You are only asked to book and pay if your condition falls within our scope of practice. If we are not a fit, you'll be told before any payment.

The $119 pays for the doctor's clinical evaluation, not the outcome, the same as any doctor's office. Our doctors are paid the same whether they certify you or not, so you get an honest opinion, not an approval mill. Most patients who pass the free eligibility check qualify at the visit.

When you book, your card is placed on file to hold your appointment. The $119 covers the visit and is non-refundable once paid. You can reschedule at no cost up to 24 hours before your appointment.

The free check filters out cases clearly outside our scope before booking. During the visit, the doctor's clinical judgment is the final determination. If your condition doesn't meet Florida's criteria, you'll get a clear explanation.

You may qualify for a full refund if it's rejected specifically because our certification was insufficient. Email help@providernotes.com within 15 days with written proof. Administrative or patient-error rejections are not refundable.

The visit is straightforward. We email you a secure link, and you tap it from your phone, tablet, or computer, with no app to download. If you have trouble, our team can walk you through it beforehand, just call (754) 233-0586. Florida law requires a live visit with the doctor, so the video visit is required.

A permanent placard is valid for 4 years, is issued free by the state, and is for long-term disabilities. A temporary placard is valid for 6 months, has a $15 state fee at the county, and is for conditions expected to improve.

Yes. A caretaker can complete the check and book using the patient's information. The patient does need to be on the video visit, since Florida law requires the doctor to examine them directly. The caretaker is welcome to join.

Yes. Florida law requires the placard to be issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles through your county tax collector or tag agency. We complete the medical certification by video only; you take or mail the signed form to your county with your driver's license. Most accept it by mail.

Florida disabled parking placards are generally honored in other U.S. states under reciprocity agreements. Rules vary, so check with the state you're traveling to for any local requirements.
