The MRO handles the legal process with drug screening. A laboratory will determine a result from the specimen, and the MRO will review it. If it were positive for a drug for example, the MRO certified doctor would perform all the necessary tasks such as contacting the donor and verifying prescriptions with other doctors. The MRO must legally finalize and report the result to us before we may report to our clients. The MRO must make 3 attempts to contact the donor before the final test results are revealed and sent to PPS.
Yes, as a company or private individual who requested the Drug Test for your candidate or employee, you will be notified via the PPS Website of the final test result(s).
