SHORT CERT LIKELY — 6-MONTH
The checker reads your verdict. The Kit gets you through the exam: documentation packets for your condition, the two 45-day form clocks run as a calendar, the official medication form packet, waiting-period calendars, failure recovery, and the examiner phone script.

Advisory criteria: a waiting period of 1 year after heart transplantation, then certification at 6-month intervals with close specialist follow-up and no evidence of rejection or significant transplant-related complications.
One year out, then the shortest routine card in the heart lattice — 6 months — with your transplant team effectively co-signing each cycle.
Certificate this points to: 6-MONTH certificates, while the standard's monitoring continues.
Bring transplant-center documentation: rejection status, current function, medication list, and the team's clearance in words.
This question is decided by the federal text together with its published advisory criteria — clocks, thresholds, and specialist files. The verdict above follows the cited criteria; your documentation is what proves you meet them.
Only a certified medical examiner on the National Registry can certify you. FreightVerdict reads the published federal standards — it does not certify, diagnose, or treat, and nothing here is medical advice.
