Occupational Health
Employer accounts call about authorisations, drug screens and driver examinations. Capture account, service and paperwork before the employee arrives.
A pre-employment screen without an authorisation, or a respirator clearance without a questionnaire, becomes a patient sitting in your lobby while someone chases an email. Capturing the account, service and authorisation on the arranging call moves that problem before the visit instead of during it.
A federal commercial driver examination has to be performed by a medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry, which for many clinics means specific people on specific days. Sending a driver to a general queue costs them an afternoon and costs you the account.
Employer contacts ask about results constantly, and the correct phone behaviour is to capture and route rather than disclose. A consistent, documented boundary is easier to defend than the judgement of whoever happened to pick up at four in the afternoon.
The occupational account is the revenue line least tolerant of an unanswered phone, because the HR manager has three other clinics in a spreadsheet. Answering every call in under a second, with account-aware handling, is a retention feature as much as an efficiency one.

No. Results and clearance status are never disclosed on the call. The request is captured with the caller's identity and routed to the person your compliance policy names, who releases information according to the authorisation on file.
They are treated as a scheduled service tied to the availability of an examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry at your clinic. Callers are booked into those windows and told what to bring, rather than being invited to walk in.
Yes, against the collection hours and collector availability you publish, capturing the panel requested, the reason for the screen, and whether the collection is observed. Booking into your system is available through API or FHIR for supported platforms.
From an account list you maintain, holding each employer's authorised services, contracted site, billing arrangement and named contacts. Callers who name an employer not on the list are handled by your default script instead of being guessed at.
That is a different intake with different details to capture, including claim, carrier and mechanism of injury. It is handled as a workers' compensation encounter and routed separately from scheduled occupational services.
