Make safer hiring decisions with EXAMQA.
Occu-Med’s signature service, EXAMQA, is a proprietary pre-placement medical evaluation methodology. It is used to assess whether a candidate can perform essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodation and whether the evaluation aligns with job requirements and applicable legal requirements.
Common reasons employers use pre-placement evaluations
- Hiring into physically demanding or safety-sensitive roles
- Establishing a consistent, role-aligned medical evaluation process
- Supporting documentation needs related to job requirements and accommodations
Keep deployment timelines moving with compliant readiness exams.
Employers deploying personnel overseas—often for Department of Defense or Department of State requirements—need a medical readiness process that covers medical requirements and location-based immunizations.
Occu-Med coordinates deployment readiness through a 15,000-site Medical Network, supporting scheduling and administration across locations.
Deployment readiness support may include
- Medical evaluation aligned to deployment requirements
- Review of immunization status and coordination of needed vaccines
- Documentation support for program requirements
Determine fitness-for-duty and return-to-work safely and efficiently.
When an employee has been out for a medical reason or performance and safety questions arise, employers may need a fitness-for-duty evaluation or return-to-work evaluation to guide next steps.
Occu-Med’s process focuses on job relevance and documentation needs for existing employees, including situations where a return may be possible with reasonable accommodations.
Typical use cases
- Return after injury, illness, or extended leave
- Safety-sensitive roles where duty status needs clarification
- Accommodation identification and documentation support
Meet regulatory requirements with periodic evaluations and surveillance.
Some employers must perform ongoing periodic medical evaluations to meet compliance expectations related to exposures and job risk. Occu-Med provides occupational evaluations to help track exposure-related considerations and support documentation needs.
Examples of periodic evaluation needs
- Programs involving regulated exposures
- Roles requiring scheduled monitoring
- Multi-site workforces where consistency matters
Streamlined immunization planning to help meet deployment timelines
International travel and overseas deployment can require location-based immunizations. Occu-Med facilitates vaccines required by regulatory agencies and program requirements, coordinating immunization needs based on destination and role.
Consistent evaluation coordination across regions and job sites
Occu-Med supports employers through a broad provider footprint, including a 15,000-site Medical Network used to schedule and complete evaluations across regions.
