Medical Review Officer (MRO). The Medical Review Officer shall be chosen and agreed upon between the Union and the Employer and must be a licensed physician who is familiar with the characteristics of the tests used (sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value) and the facilities running the tests. The role of the MRO will be to review and interpret positive drug test results. He shall examine alternate medical explanations for any positive test results. This may include conducting a medical interview with the affected employee, review of the employee's medical history, review of the chain of custody and review of any other relevant biomedical factors. The MRO must review all medical records made available by the testing employee when a confirmed positive test could have resulted from legally prescribed medication. An employee shall be expected to cooperate promptly with the MRO. An employee has five (5) business days after notification by the MRO to provide the MRO information that may refute a positive test. The MRO may verify a test as positive without interviewing the affected employee if more than five (5) business days elapse after the MRO first attempts to telephone the employee.
