The Newport Alliance works with hundreds of collection sites throughout
the country. Many are occupational health or other practices that
offer limited drug and alcohol compliance services to their
clients. They simply do not have the time or resources to provide
more.
If this describes your organization, the Alliance can help by giving
you the opportunity to:
- Continue offering federal and non-federal drug and alcohol
testing as part of your occupational health product line.
- Focus on the collection function for drug tests and the
breathalyzer testing for alcohol—traditionally the best income
versus time/expense element of any full-service program.
- Free your physician and staff from the day-to-day medical
review officer (MRO) responsibilities. The recent changes to 49
CFR Part 40, challenge MROs to remain current on Federal DOT updates
and rule changes. The critical degree of responsibility faced
by the MRO requires a substantial investment of time.
- Eliminate the need for other medical and administrative
staff to stay on top of the daily demands of managing a full-service
testing program. Keeping current with Federal DOT rules and being
responsive to your clients requires the same effort as that expended
by the MRO. Rule changes now contained in 49 CFR Part 40 place
more responsibility with service agents (collectors-third party
administrators). This is reflected in the Public Interest Exclusion—a
mechanism by which the DOT can publicly identify service agents
that do not properly provide those services that Part 40 requires.
- Have the flexibility of choosing the degree and extent
to which your organization stays involved in the drug and alcohol
programs offered to current and future clients. You can keep your
name on the program, while we do the work behind the scenes. All
management and administrative tasks can be subcontracted to the
Alliance.
The Newport Alliance would like to talk with you about ways to
make your program more efficient and profitable. If you are interested
or would like further information, please contact the Newport Alliance
by phone at 1-800-223-2133, ext. 1362, or online.
