Generally no, if you have 25 or more employees. North Carolina law (N.C.G.S. 14-357.1) bars those employers from charging applicants for required medical exams and drug tests, including through paycheck deductions. DOT-required drug tests are not covered by this rule. With an employer account, we bill you directly.

You choose per account. For work injuries, we can bill your workers’ comp carrier or bill you directly. Employees on your account pay nothing at the visit.

Yes. Employers can pay at the time of the visit for injury care, physicals and testing, with or without an account. Call the clinic before your employee arrives, or have a supervisor come with them. We document every injury visit the same way, however it’s paid.

Authorized employer contacts can see occupational-health results and visit updates in our employer portal. After a work injury, the provider supplies a work status note. Access is limited to information the employer is permitted to receive.

Yes. Employees can walk in at either clinic, 7 days a week, with no appointment. Steele Creek has X-ray on site, with a radiologist read usually available in around 2 hours; timing can vary.

For an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest ER. For an injury that can wait, both clinics open at 8am on weekdays and 9am on weekends, and the employee can walk in. Drug and alcohol tests need to start at least 2 hours before closing.

Yes. Our providers are trained on OSHA recordkeeping, including the difference between first aid and medical treatment. Treatment always follows what the employee medically needs, and we document each visit clearly so you can classify the case. See our workers’ comp care page for details.

Yes. When we set up your account, we put your rules on an employer protocol: who we call, whether you’re OSHA-sensitive, your return-to-work wording, billing and testing rules. Our front desk and every provider follow it at every visit, at both clinics. Protocols do not override clinical judgment, patient privacy or legal requirements.

When appropriate after a work injury, the provider gives specific light-duty restrictions so you can consider modified duty.

Yes. We do return-to-work and fit-for-duty exams at both clinics. Clearance depends on the evaluation and the job requirements.

Yes. We do lift and physical ability testing for jobs with lifting or physical demands.

Yes. Employees can often do a DOT or pre-employment physical, a drug test and a breath alcohol test in one visit.

No. Employees can walk in or schedule at either clinic, 7 days a week. For drug tests, they should arrive at least 2 hours before closing.

Yes. Employers without an account are welcome to send employees with an authorization, and can pay at the time of the visit, including for injury care.

Not if your employer has an account with us. We bill your employer or its workers’ comp carrier, and you pay nothing at the visit. If your employer doesn’t have an account yet, ask them how the visit will be paid before you come. Bring a photo ID and your employer’s authorization.
