What information should be verified on the Import Application Screen?

When importing an application from MedXPress to AMCS, your selection determines how that exam enters the FAA’s medical record system.  Does the application belong to an existing applicant or is this a first-time applicant?  This is usually straightforward; however, because of data entry errors on the application (i.e. transposed names) and/or the use of pseudo Social Security Numbers, it requires a little time for validation.

To help you make an accurate selection, AMCS compares the information from the MedXPress application to records in the FAA medical database (column heading Potential Match).  The Import Application screen displays this data in columns.  Any mismatches display in red text.  You must verify the name and date of birth match.  Due to the frequent use of system-generated pseudo SSNs, the SSN will often NOT match.  The phone number and address are displayed to provide extra data elements.  If you are not sure how to proceed or if you see an error, contact AMCSsupport@faa.gov before you import the application.
