The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) provides insurance benefits to employees who are injured in the line of duty, and there are certain procedures that must be followed to ensure that employers are not forced to pay claims out of their own operational budget. The good news is that it’s very easy to run a fully compliant operation, and our team at First Choice is here to help!

First Choice is Arkansas’ most trusted third-party administrator, and we take great pride in helping employers keep drugs out of the workplace! We offer every conceivable lab test at our southwest Little Rock testing center, as well as background checks to help you vet prospective employees and physicals to ensure that they’re physically capable of doing the job. Urinalysis is the most commonly used method of pre-employment drug testing, and we keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all testing results.

We had a customer request that we “monitor” a drug test for one of their employees. A monitored collection is different than a directly observed collection.

Monitored simply means the door remains open and the donor turns his back to the collector. Directly observed is defined as the collector must directly observe the urine leaving the donors body, directly observed collections are quite invasive.

First Choice Drug Testing offers after hours drug and alcohol testing 24/7, 365 days a year. We have a dedicated staff of part-time collectors that rotate being “on call” so that our clients receive services for those emergency after hours testing needs, which is most often post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing. We average about 5 after hour call outs a week. Very few competitors offer these services and those that do are not always reliable, hence we are known as the “go to” vendor for afterhours services.
