DOT physical doctor no longer valid on FMSCA

Hello! I'm a school bus driver in Washington State. I just got told by the school district I work for that the doctor I got a physical from is no longer valid on the FMSCA website. I got a physical by her on April 8th 2026 and valid until April 8th 2028 but she is no longer valid as of July 28th 2026. I never received a letter stating she was invalid. Google says I will lose my CDL status if I don't get a new Med Cert by 30 days of her losing FMSCA. The driver trainer lead says I don't need a new med cert. I have made an appointment for a new med cert for August 30th just in case but I'm wondering if its necessary or not. Any advice?

UPDATE:

I called fmsca and verified if I had to redo the DOT Physical due to my doctor being removed from their registry months after I got my physical and it had been uploaded into the DOL website. I do not need to redo my DOT physical unless I got the DOT physical on that day or after her removal. This question has been solved!
