At Modern Pain & Spine our MRO certified physicians act as an independent and impartial "gatekeeper" and advocate for the accuracy and integrity of the drug testing process. We provide quality assurance review of the drug testing process for specimens. We determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation for laboratory confirmed positive, adulterated, substituted and invalid drug test results. It is our responsibility to ensure the timely flow of test result information to employers and to protect the confidentiality of the drug testing information.
