Most return-to-work exams take about 30–45 minutes, depending on the employee's medical history, job requirements, and whether additional tests, screenings, or documentation are required.
If accommodations are needed, our providers outline them in the report. We'll work with employers to ensure safe modifications without delaying the employee's return.
Drug screenings can be included as part of the return-to-work exam, depending on employer requirements or industry standards. Results are provided quickly and confidentially.
Return-to-work exams are common in healthcare, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and public safety, but any job requiring physical ability or compliance may need them.
Employers and employees receive a detailed, written report summarizing the employee's readiness, restrictions, or accommodations needed for a safe return to the workplace.
In most cases, employees can return immediately after clearance. If restrictions or accommodations are required, return timelines depend on employer approval and workplace adjustments.
