Federal Reasonable Suspicion Testing Sample Clauses

Federal Reasonable Suspicion Testing. (49 CFR 219.301) Regulated service personnel will be required to submit to a Federal drug and/or alcohol test whenever a properly trained supervisory employee of this railroad has reasonable suspicion that a regulated employee is currently under the influence of or impaired by a controlled substance or alcohol. Reasonable suspicion must be based on specific, contemporaneous personal observations the supervisor can articulate concerning the employee’s appearance, behavior, speech, body odor, chronic effects or withdrawal effects. Part 219.11(g) requires supervisory employees to have education and training on alcohol misuse and controlled substance use. The training will cover the physical, behavioral, speech and performance indicators of probable alcohol misuse and use of controlled substances. It will also prepare the supervisors to make the decisions necessary in reasonable suspicion and FRA post-accident situations (i.e., what is a qualifying event and who is to be tested). The observation for alcohol must be made by at least one qualified supervisory employee who has received proper training in the signs and symptoms of alcohol use per 219.11(g). Documentation of this decision must be maintained, as required by Part 219 Subpart J. The observation for drugs must be made by at least two qualified supervisory employees, one of which has received proper training in the signs and symptoms of drug use/misuse per 219.11(g). One qualified supervisor must be on-site, but the supervisor trained per 219.11(g), although preferred does not have to be the supervisor on-site. Documentation of this decision must be maintained, as required by Part 219 Subpart J. If operating on tracks of another railroad, this railroad will coordinate with the host railroad and decide how the supervisor on the site will immediately communicate and coordinate decisions to test and who will administer the necessary testing. In all reasonable suspicion cases, the supervisor will ensure that the regulated service person is transported immediately to a collection site for a timely collection of a urine and/or breath specimen. If the regulated service person is deemed not fit to return to work, the supervisor will arrange transportation for the person. This is not a Federal requirement, but safety will be better assured if accomplished. Supervisors must document their observations that led them to decide there was a “reasonable suspicion” to have the regulated service person subjected to Fede...

The HNS will be used to identify the member’s physical and/or behavioral health care needs, special health care needs, as well as the need for disease management, care management and/or case management services set forth in Section 3.8. The HNS may be conducted in person, by phone, online or by mail. The Contractor shall use the standard health screening tool developed by OMPP, i.e., the Health Needs Screening Tool, but is permitted to supplement the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool with additional questions developed by the Contractor. Any additions to the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool shall be approved by OMPP. The HNS shall be conducted within ninety (90) calendar days of the Contractor’s receipt of a new member’s fully eligible file from the State. The Contractor is encouraged to conduct the HNS at the same time it assists the member in making a PMP selection. The Contractor shall also be required to conduct a subsequent health screening or comprehensive health assessment if a member’s health care status is determined to have changed since the original screening, such as evidence of overutilization of health care services as identified through such methods as claims review. Non-clinical staff may conduct the HNS. The results of the HNS shall be transferred to OMPP in the form and manner set forth by OMPP. As part of this contract, the Contractor shall not be required to conduct HNS for members enrolled in the Contractor’s plan prior to January 1, 2017 unless a change in the member’s health care status indicates the need to conduct a health screening.

OMPP shall apply its own stratification methodology which may, in future years, be used to link stratification level to the per member per month capitation rate. The initial HNS shall be followed by a detailed Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT) by a health care professional when a member is identified through the HNS as having a special health care need, as set forth in Section 4.2.4, or when there is a need to follow up on problem areas found in the initial HNS. The detailed CHAT may include, but is not limited to, discussion with the member, a review of the member’s claims history and/or contact with the member’s family or health care providers. These interactions shall be documented and shall be available for review by OMPP. The Contractor shall keep up-to-date records of all members found to have special health care needs based on the initial screening, including documentation of the follow-up detailed CHAT and contacts with the member, their family or health care providers.
