Quick Answers

What happens after I pay the $95?

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.

How long does the whole RTD process take?

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.

What is the difference between the $95 Pre-Assessment and the SAP Fee?

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.
