Benefits of a SAP List Versus SAP Referral Services

If you have recently failed a DOT-mandated drug or alcohol test you’ll need to find a qualified Substance Abuse Provider in your area. Your employer may have given you a SAP list. You may think the benefits of a SAP list seem endless, but in reality you’ll be doing a lot of leg work to get an appointment. If you need to make an appointment with a SAP in your geographic region quickly, SAP Referral Services’ FastTrack Enrollment Program is for you.

Benefits of a SAP List or Frustration from a SAP List?

While it may seem like the benefits of a SAP list include access to several SAPs in your area, contact information for several SAPs, and the ability to choose a SAP based on appointment preference you might be mistaken. Utilizing a SAP list often proves to be a frustrating experience for those looking to get an appointment quickly. Employee/applicants looking for a SAP this way will have to spend time calling several SAPs (often having to leave voicemails), waiting for SAPs to return their call, verifying that the SAPs have the proper DOT required credentials, and then hoping they have an appointment that is convenient.

Alternatively, enrolling in SAP Referral Services’ FastTrack Enrollment Program can give you peace of mind and typically get you an appointment with a qualified SAP provider within 72 business hours of enrolling. Enrollment is quick and in only a matter of 2 steps SAP Referral Services can typically get you scheduled within 72 business hours. Another benefit of using SAP Referral Services is having confidence that the SAP you are meeting with is qualified as per the Department of Transportation’s regulations. SAP Referral Services will do all the hard work to obtain an appointment so that you don’t have to. The reduced time to find the SAP, enroll, and complete the return to duty process means returning to your safety-sensitive duties sooner.
