This is from the "reminder notice" that DOT issued on 8-31-09 about its direct observation procedures:
If a collector, Medical Review Officer (MRO), Third Party Administrator (TPA), or other service agent learns that a Direct Observation collection using the required procedures was not conducted, the employer needs to be informed.
- - Upon learning that a Direct Observation collection using the required procedures was not conducted, the employer needs to direct the employee to have an immediate recollection under Direct Observation.
- - Subsequently, MROs will follow the procedures at 40.162(b) for working with multiple verified results for the same testing event.
