Who this is for

Is this the right evaluation for you?

  • CDL drivers and other safety-sensitive employees in DOT-regulated roles
  • Employees referred after a positive test, a refusal, or another prohibited-conduct determination
  • Employees who have been told they must complete the Return-to-Duty process before returning to safety-sensitive duties

Process

The Return-to-Duty process, step by step

Recommendations are individualized and made only after your evaluation. We cannot promise a specific outcome, recommendation, or completion date.

  1. 1

    Initial SAP evaluation

    A structured virtual appointment reviews your situation and the referral information available, so a professional recommendation can be prepared.

  2. 2

    Written recommendations

    You receive written education or treatment recommendations. Recommendations are individualized and are not decided in advance.

  3. 3

    Complete education or treatment

    You complete the recommended education or treatment with an appropriate provider. Progress documentation is shared through the secure portal.

  4. 4

    Follow-up evaluation

    A follow-up appointment reviews whether the recommendations have been completed and what documentation is available.

  5. 5

    Return-to-Duty testing

    Where applicable, Return-to-Duty testing is arranged through your employer's testing process. Testing is not performed by this practice.

  6. 6

    Follow-up testing plan

    A written follow-up testing plan is prepared and provided to the designated employer representative in accordance with applicable requirements.

Important limits

What a SAP evaluation can and cannot determine

The SAP process is defined by federal regulation. Your evaluator follows that process; the employer controls the return-to-duty decision.

No guaranteed outcomes

No evaluator can guarantee a particular recommendation, a minimum education or treatment requirement, or a date by which the process will be complete.

Employer and consortium requirements

Your employer, designated employer representative, or consortium may have additional requirements. Confirm those requirements in writing before booking.

Records handling

SAP documentation is shared according to applicable regulations and valid written authorization, through the secure client portal rather than by email.
