Question: When the requirements state a Licensed Occupational medical provider is needed, is that qualified under the number of years of experience?

Answer: The current La medical license in good standing is a minimum qualification. The years of experience in providing similar services is one of the evaluation criteria.
DMEVANS on 03-Aug-2023 12:31:07 PM CDT
Question: Is there more detail on the component requirements for the new hires testing. What physicals and drug testing is ais needed specifically?

Answer: For Pre-Employment physicals, it would be a base evaluation based on the physical, environmental and sensory requirements of the job.. That information will be provided.. For
example, if it is a CDL position- we would need a DOT physical. The drug testing is to screen for detectable substances as contained in our policies for random pre-hire, post-accident and
reasonable suspicion test.
DMEVANS on 08-Aug-2023 11:12:37 AM CDT
Question: Does this also include injury treatment for employees?
Answer: Yes
Question: Also wanted to verify the physicals that are required. I know we saw Pre employment physical and fitness for duty. Can you verify if this is a Basic preplacement physical or
DOT, and if what level the fitness for duty is required (Levels 1-5)
Answer: For pre-employment, yes physicals are required. Fitness for duty physicals are for current employees that may have been injured on the job or reported to work with some sort
of injury/medical condition. The physical will be based on the needs of the job, there may be a need for a DOT physical at times, bit this would be noted when the employee is sent. As far
as for the level of the fitness for duty, we would provide the clinic with the ergonomic conditions and essential functions of the job, and the physical would determine if the employees is fit
to perform those functions. If they are not, the physical would state what limitations/accommodations that they would need.
Question: As far as onsite/weekend hours that are requested, what services are needed, what would the hours needed as well as the location for this service?
Answer: Afterhours: This would be for drug testing due to an accident or injury afterhours; in that we would call the provider to arrange a location/time for them to meet with the supervisor
to undergo a drug screen. For onsite: we would like the provider to be able to provide random test collection services at least 1 day a week in her office. We have the space set up to
provide the testing and would need a collector and he/she would send the samples off to the lab to be tested.
DMEVANS on 09-Aug-2023 4:10:51 PM CDT
Question: Do we need to provide resumes & CV's for all center colleagues or just the medical support staff?

Answer: You can provide the information for those employees that would work on the JP contract if it was awarded to them.
