Pre-Placement Physicals, Drug Testing

The Massachusetts Bay Self-Insurance Group (MBSIG) provides members with loss control information, training and tools designed to help MBSIG members establish a safe and productive workforce and to prevent injuries at the worksite.

MBSIG understands that loss control begins with the hiring process.

Pre-placement physical examinations are a successful tool to determine that prospective employees are physically capable to perform the essential functions of the job for which they are being considered.

Pre-placement drug testing is another effective tool to screen prospective employees. In addition, random and "for cause" drug testing is very successful in maintaining a safe work environment.

Screening employment candidates during the hiring process to confirm that they are physically capable of performing the job for which they are being considered:

  • creates a safer working environment
  • reduces injuries
  • reduces associated Workers' Compensation costs
  • enhances the quality of your workforce

 

MBSIG has arranged for Cambridge Health Alliance Occupational Health Services to provide pre-placement, post employment offer, physical examinations and drug testing for MBSIG members for the following job categories:

  • All Drivers (both full and part time)
  • All Maintenance / Facilities staff
  • Visitiing Nurses
  • Home Health staff
  • Residential Care staff

 

The cost for these services are:

  • Pre-placement, post employment offer, physical examination $58.50 / each
  • Urine drug screen $58.50 / each

 

MBSIG will reimburse the MBSIG member 50% ($29.25) of the cost for each pre-placement, post employment offer, physical examination and urine drug screen.

MBSIG is aware that some members may already be using a different provider, or may choose to use a provider who is geographically closer to the member's worksite(s). If the member uses a different provider MBSIG will reimburse $29.25 for each pre-placement physical and $29.25 for each drug screen done by another provider. However, MBSIG will NOT provide reimbursement if the pre-placement physical and/or drug screen is done by the employment candidate's primary care physician.
