Drug Testing Policy Discussed

Attendees to the CAMPA Monthly Conference Call were able to listen to a in depth discussion on Drug Testing Policies from William Judge, an drug policy specialist and attorney, retained by AccuDiagnostics in Greenville.

Drug Testing Policy marketing and consulting was divided in three separate markets tiers of small business clients (2-25 employees), mid-level clients (26-250 employees) and large clients (+251 employees). It was suggested that in most cases template drug testing policy document can be used for the small business client after a detailed survey is completed. For mid-level businesses the involvement of Bill Judge is likely in most cases because there may need to be some customization of the drug testing policy. A completely customized drug testing policy is necessary for all large clientele, and in some cases mid-level clients, because of the complexity of their businesses, which may include union and government contracts, multi-locations and multi-state offices.

Consulting fees can be charged to these clients based on the level of complexity and implementation requirements. A 100% - 250% is easily justified over what Bill Judge or another attorney charges for the customization.

AccuDiagnostics has competitive advantage in providing consulting services for the development and installation of drug testing policies because of the expertise that is available to our system that is not generally available for our competition and certainly not from hospital, labs and clinics.
