Review of Positive Drug Screens
CMS has the advantage of having a Medical Review Officer who made his decision in the early 1980’s to be involved with people with drug problems. Before the term Medical Review Officer (MRO) was introduced into the vocabulary of the transportation industry in 1988, Dr. Peterson had completed his advanced studies and began working with individuals who have drug related problems. He is a natural for understanding the issues relating to both the company’s need for drug free employees and the employee’s need to be drug free.
Karin Licht has managed the positive review portion of CMS for five (5) years. The same staff handles each positive drug screen. The same process of review is followed with each regulated drug screen.
