Coronavirus Testing for Return-to-Work Clearance
Concentra medical centers now offer COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic employees to provide clearance for return to work.
Concentra recommends initial screening using our COVID-19 Assessment. Your employees complete our assessment questionnaire and a Concentra clinician reviews the responses to determine if the employee may go to work or if testing for active COVID-19 infection or an in-person clinical examination is recommended.
Concentra offers COVID-19 RNA testing to detect the virus in asymptomatic individuals. RNA testing, when positive, indicates active infection. Services include:
- COVID-19 assessment for the evaluation of furloughed employees or after an extended absence prior to return to work
- Evaluation of employees who are COVID-19 exposed, suspected, or confirmed positive
- Evaluation of employees who are exposure to COVID-19 illness, or travel from a high-risk area
To request an evaluation, please call your local Concentra medical center.
Employees will need to complete all sections of the forms, which includes the assessment questionnaire.
Please note: Concentra medical centers are not performing diagnostic testing for COVID-19 for symptomatic individuals.

Minimizing the Risk of Exposure
Concentra is taking all possible precautions to minimize the risk of exposure to patients and our staff. We have implemented several measures to address potential COVID-19 cases, including:
- Posted notifications on the doors to our centers to instruct individuals with COVID-19 symptoms to use drive-through/outdoor testing stations where available or contact their health care provider or local health department.
- Rigorous clinical triage including use of a screening questionnaire. Should we identify as a potential COVID-19 case, the patient will be immediately moved to designated areas or rooms to separate this individual from other patients and our staff.
- Enhanced cleaning protocols that include frequent disinfection of door handles and other hard surfaces to help reduce and mitigate possible contamination. Hand sanitizer is available and frequent hand washing is encouraged.
-
Face Coverings and Masks
Concentra is now requiring all patients to wear a face covering or mask when visiting a Concentra medical center to help protect other patients and our staff from exposure to COVID-19. We request patients bring/wear their own face covering or mask, but if they do not have one, we will provide one for their use. Patients who refuse to wear a face covering or mask without presenting a valid reason, may be asked to leave the medical center. -
