information.\u00a0 This includes conducting a verification interview with the employee following a\u00a0confirmed\u00a0positive drug test result.\u00a0 The MRO informs the employee of the positive

makes a final evaluation of that result.\u00a0 The MRO then notifies the appropriate parties\u00a0of that final determination while adhering to confidentiality regulations.<\/p>\n<p>An MRO review is not required\u00a0in every state or for all employers.\u00a0 However, the utilization of an MRO\u2019s expertise is highly recommended for all drug testing programs.\u00a0\u00a0By utilizing an MRO, an\u00a0employer can feel confident knowing a highly trained, certified physician is ensuring the integrity of the drug testing process and handling the issues of confidentiality in a manner that will\u00a0help to\u00a0protect the employer\u00a0from possible litigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/mro-service\/\">Learn more<\/a> about Medical Review Officer Services (MRO) from National Drug
