Common use of Reporting and Review of Results Clause in Contracts

Reporting and Review of Results. The Medical Review Office (MRO) shall review confirmed positive results, including any alternative medical explanation for a positive test result with a medical interview and review of the individual's medical history. If the test has been confirmed positive, the MRO shall notify the employee that he/she has 72 hours in which to request a reanalysis of the original specimen. The employee may request in writing, if the first sample, of a split sample is positive; that the second sample of the split sample, shall be tested by a different "National Institute on Drug Abuse" (NIDA) certified lab. If the second test is negative, the test will be cancelled and the entire test shall be considered negative. The employee's request must be made within 72 hours following notice of verified positive test on the primary test. The MRO, prior to verifying a positive test result, shall give the employee an opportunity to discuss the test result. If the employee declines the opportunity to discuss the test or is unable to be contacted after reasonable efforts, the MRO may verify the test result. Following verification of a positive test result, the MRO shall refer the case to the board's employee assistance or rehabilitation program.
