Why have I received a phone call from a Medical Review Officer?

You may receive a call from an MRO if a substance has showed up in your urine, hair, or saliva specimen. This could be from illicit drug use, or from prescription drugs that you take on a regular basis. The MRO must conduct an interview with you prior to releasing the results of your drug test to your employer. If you do take a prescription that you believe will show up in your specimen, keep that prescription information with you for when they call. They will take that information and verify that information with your doctor or pharmacy. Once confirmed, they will report the specimen as a confirmed negative to your employer. The faster you respond to the call, the faster the results will be reported. An MRO will NEVER report medical marijauana as a confirmed negative, even with a prescription. This is because marijuana is still listed as Schedule 1 narcotic by the Federal Government. So even if your employer is ok with you being on medical marijuana, it will never be reported as negative until the Federal Government moves the substance from Schedule 1 to Schedule 2.
