National Leader Rolls Out ePre-placement Physicals
Backed by 40 years of experience and currently serving 44 states, Concentra is a leading provider of occupational health services, including a wide range of physical exams. Committed to continually improving the customer experience, Concentra implemented electronic Department of Transportation (eDOT) physicals in 2017, a development that was immediately popular among employers. Concentra will perform nearly one million DOT physicals this year, and nearly all are done electronically.
In 2019, Concentra transitioned its pre-placement physicals to a digital platform to improve the customer experience – no more hunting for paper forms or scrambling to find exam results to make an important team placement.
Concentra’s ePre-placement physicals involve only three steps:
- The employer authorizes an ePre-placement physical through Concentra’s Employer Portal.
- The employee uses a link sent via mobile phone or email to complete his or her health history electronically before arriving at the clinic.
- Physical exam results are electronically captured and reported to the employer, through Concentra’s Employer Portal. The exam result is also provided to the employee at checkout.
Employers who use a third-party administrator (TPA) to manage physical exams should not see any change in how their exams are processed.
Concentra clinicians perform about 558,000 pre-placement physicals annually.
