DOT Physical Exam, Alcohol & Drug Testing
TeamCME announces a new Limited Membership at a reduced cost for offices that do not require the benefits from full membership. And, there are now two additional new membership benefits.
A new Limited TeamCME membership is available for $19.95 per month. The Limitied Membership benefits include: office location and information on the TeamCME map, Monthly TeamCME newsletter, and physician consultation with TeamCME on complex DOT physical exams. Full membership with/without online scheduling is still available for $49.95 and $39.95 monthly.
One of the two new member benefits is the new TeamCME Newsletter. The newsletter will be sent monthly to TeamCME providers and will include updates on the NRCME status. To further benefit your practice, each edition will include information on select medical conditions taken from interesting questions that we get from medical examiners each day. Topics will include: diabetes, sleep apnea, hypotension, and epilepsy to name just a few.
Lastly, thru our relationship with Lifeloc Technologies, TeamCME full members will receive a 25% discount on the just released on-line Lifeloc BAT Qualification Training program. For only $75, TeamCME full membership allows you or your staff to attend the first half of the DOT requirement to become a DOT Breath Alcohol Technician, then you can complete the required “Proficiency” training with a 1 on 1 webconference with TeamCME staff. DOT regulations require that you complete your “proficiency” training within 30 days of attending the on-line course.
