You’ll be directed to complete the Pre-Assessment Questionnaire online. Once that’s done, you can schedule your virtual SAP evaluation. Most appointments are available within the same week. Your SAP guides you through every step.
The Return-to-Duty process typically takes 2 to 6 weeks from start to finish, depending on the SAP’s recommendations. The initial evaluation usually happens within 1 week of payment. After completing any recommended education or treatment, you complete a follow-up evaluation before being cleared for return-to-duty testing.
The $95 Pre-Assessment Questionnaire is provided to your SAP and gives them the needed information to begin their portion of the Return-to-Duty process with you.
The SAP’s fee (up to $500) is paid directly to the SAP and generally includes the initial evaluation, follow-up evaluation, and Return-to-Duty recommendation review.
Every situation is different. Depending on the SAP’s recommendations, additional education, treatment, or follow-up services may be required. Any fees associated with those services are separate and are determined directly between you and your SAP.
Total Return-to-Duty process cost as listed above: up to $595.
