TeamCME Membership Plan

Most truck drivers must participate in a random drug testing pool, also known as a consortium. Large Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) are typically hired to randomly select drivers for drug and alcohol testing. Most Medical Examiners do not have the expertise or capital to start their own consortium.

Through your TeamCME membership, you can offer the same consortium services to transportation companies of all sizes. You provide us with some information about the driver or company, and we add them to a randomized pool. Unlike other TPAs, you maintain the relationship with the driver.

You set the price, and we provide all the back-office services and notify you when a driver needs to be tested for drugs or alcohol. If you want to learn more go to our Consortium FAQ page.

Most truck drivers need to be drug tested, so it makes good sense for Medical Examiners to offer drug testing and consortium services.

Every month, TeamCME members send thousands of drug tests to our preferred lab for urinalysis. We have negotiated volume discounts and pass the savings on to our members. Some of our members have seen their lab fees decrease by over 40%, but the amount of savings will vary depending on the type of test and the number of tests performed.

Yes! The DOT specimen collection guidelines are detailed and complex. It’s understandable to feel nervous about making sure you’re following them correctly, especially when you’re first starting out or dealing with a non-routine collection.

That’s where we come in. Our team of experts can help you ensure proper collection takes place, so you can feel confident that you’re in compliance.

Our Online Medical Examiner Quick Reference Guide is a comprehensive and easy-to-use resource for all the most current FMCSA regulations, guidelines, and recommendations.

Medical Examiners can use it in practice
settings to quickly look up information, and prospective Medical Examiners have used it as a study guide for the certification test.

The guide can be accessed online in our member center. You can also buy a printed copy from our store.

With so many complex regulations and guidelines to follow, and drivers with a wide range of potential conditions to assess, it’s understandable to feel nervous about making the correct determination, especially when you’re new to DOT physicals or facing a challenging case.

That’s why our Premium Plan members have access to our live DOT Physical Expert. You can call or email your questions and get timely, expert advice from our team of subject matter experts. TeamCME was founded by Dr. Michael Megehee, who assisted the DOT in creating the training curriculum for the Certified Medical Examiner program.

With TeamCME at your side, you can rest easy knowing that you’re making the right determinations.
