Heard at the local FSDO
So I'm at FSDO office up in OKC yesterday getting some paperwork done. And the guy tells me that there is some rules being purposed that would let our Flying Class 1 medicals count for our FAA medicals! Anybody else heard of this before? I wonder how its gonna work? It sure would be nice to only have to do the one medical for the AF instead both!

My FAA doc told me that any of our Navy Flight Docs could give us the Class 1, all they had to do was take an FAA certification test and I think pay a fee of some kind... but of course I haven't seen any of them jumping through any hoops to help us out with that. We just got a new flight doc in, fresh boot out of flight doc training, I'll have to see if I can convince him to do it.

According to my former roommate who is a Navy FS and FAA examiner (OK, was as he's an anesthesiology resident now...), he CAN NOT give a FAA physical unless it's on the side, and he's set up to get all the paperwork/EKG etc. to OKC...which basically means having his own practice, which the Navy won't allow....
Back in the late '90's they could, but someone got ****y about it and wrote the prohibition into the CNAF instruction.

My last flight surgeon (before I got out of the Army) got the authorization from the FAA to conduct up to a 2nd Class medical. It only involved him doing a little bit of paperwork for the FAA.
I scheduled the 2nd class with him at the same time as my Army flight physical, and he gave me both an upslip and a 2nd class at the same time. I don't know what it would have taken for him to do a 1st class.

This doesn't address the money side of the question, but I think half of the answer is here:
