What is a MRO?
Medical Review Officer – If your urine result is ‘negative’, this information is normally given directly to your employer. However a ‘positive’ test result is sent directly to a nominated Medical Review Officer (MRO), a qualified physician who reviews and interprets the results. The doctor may consider your medical history and prescribed medication when assessing the results. Sometimes he may ask to speak with you.
A MRO, Medical Review Officer, is a doctor who reviews drug test results to determine possible prescription interactions, conducts an interview with the donor (typically via the telephone) to discuss positive results, and discusses any questions regarding the testing process with a laboratory toxicologist.
