I'm not in school, just switching companies, I've been home a little bit time to go back to work but didn't want to go back to the company I was with. I re-upped my medical cert too at the end of December also, no prostate or hernia checks....Last edited: Feb 21, 2013

My last company let me use my own doctor, and she would just piggy back it onto normal yearly physical, so I never got charged. Now have to use company doc, but they pay anyway.

Why do you have to wait so #### long to get the test back anyway? Most companies can just buy the kits and test it immediatly these days, you think Central could do the same. Do they mail it off to some lab or something?

Many have you go somewhere to have it done and then it's sent off to a lab. They have documentation for chain of custody and the MRO process and such doing it that way. A lab can determine if people are trying to cheat the test better as well. I just took one for a new employer and the HR lady said many times they receive the results in one business day but it can take up to three.
