Reliable SAP support for employers and DERs
NSURO works with employers and designated employer representatives to support the DOT return-to-duty process while maintaining the SAP's required professional independence.
- 01
You refer
Send the employee to us, or give them our details. We confirm we can serve their state and schedule them.
- 02
We evaluate
A face-to-face clinical evaluation, in person or by secure video, followed by an individualized education or treatment recommendation.
- 03
We report
Your DER receives the written reports Part 40 requires — the initial recommendation and, later, the compliance determination.
- 04
You act
Once we report successful compliance, the employer's own return-to-duty responsibilities begin, including the directly observed test.
- 05
Follow-up plan
You receive a written follow-up testing plan — at least six directly observed tests in the first 12 months, within a plan of up to five years.
Built for compliance programs
Whether you administer your own testing program or work through a consortium/third-party administrator, the documentation arrives where it needs to, in the form the regulation requires.

- Clearinghouse entriesFor FMCSA-regulated drivers, we make the SAP entries the rule requires.

- Seven states, one contactWV, VA, MD, PA, OH, DE and TX, in person or by secure telehealth.
- DOT process educationWe'll walk a new DER through their obligations without billing you for a consultation.
What the SAP does, and what remains yours
The SAP evaluates the employee, recommends education or treatment, determines whether the employee has successfully complied, and provides the required reports and the follow-up testing plan.
The employer decides whether to return the employee to duty, arranges the directly observed return-to-duty test, and administers the follow-up testing plan. We don't make employment decisions, and we don't clear anyone for duty.
